I’m attempting what seems to be impossible. And it is impossible without a series of small miracles. Please pray.
I’m putting together three ticketed concerts in three cities back-to-back on one night: Atlanta, Dallas, Nashville. All three concerts will be streamed live on-line as well.
It is very possible that this event won’t happen. Will the nine artists I’m hoping for be available and able to perform? Will we find three large venues with full production willing to host us? Can we build the hosted site and get the bandwidth needed for streaming? Will we find radio partners and get on-line ticketing worked out? Can we do all of this for free so 100% of proceeds can go to Compassion’s disaster relief fund?
It doesn’t seem likely does it? But we’re working like it’s up to us and praying because we believe it’s up to God.
Pray with us.
I’ll keep you updated on our progress here. And eventually I’ll need your help. Are you in?
.
Praying….
I would definitely help on the Atlanta end. How big of a venue are you looking for? I might be able to work with my 900 seat church to see what we could do.
you certainly have my prayerful support.
Praying in New England for this to come to fruition!
Our God is a God of miracles! Praying.
Love the idea. I say go for it…attempt the impossible and let God work. I’ll be praying.
Definitely praying! Wish I could do more!
Praying!!
Go for it. We’re there.
love it – so awesome to see influencers using their goods for Him and others – will pray & support it
Remember our God has an address, and it’s in a third world country.
That’s my way of saying, we’ve, both, seen Him work in HUGE ways in those countries. And I’m sure He’ll work in a HUGE way to provide for the Haitians now.
Trust and believe.
Praying for a miracle.
It seems to me God is doing small (and big) miracles every day in Haiti as the recovery effort continues. why not these as well? praying with you.
What size venue are you looking for in ATL? I have some connections…not promising anything, but I can try.
Today we’re asking artists to sign on. We’ll then work through the artists connections to procure venues. We have some in mind already that these artists have connection to. If that falls through I may need Kristie and others to pitch in, whine, throw tantrums to get us a venue. ; )
Thanks for all the support. I’ll keep you posted as we build this thing!
I can throw a mean tantrum….my kids have taught me well.
I’m in and praying . . .
I’m in..radio will promote 4 U. Praying for you to walk thru the right doors, no dead ends.
Does anyone have a contact inside UStream or Livestream? Needing donated bandwidth….lots of it. shaun@compassionbloggers.com if you can connect me.
Thanks.
Got a contact. Thanks!
yes. and amen. praying…
I’m praying too!
That’s awesome. I wish NYC were closer to any of those cities.
Praying.
I’d be happy to help but I’m not in any of those locations. I’ll be praying that all details go smoothly.
I have a small contact through Women of Faith conferences if that helps.
Not at this point, but I’ll let you know if that comes in handy. THANKS!
I also have organized a small website call
http://www.hope-for-haiti.blogspot.com
Various popular bloggers and website owners have pulled our resources and are raffling products and services to raise money –
(in)Courage, Women of Faith, and many many others have donated.
Half of the money donated will be give to Compassion and half to the Red Cross. We are up to almost $4500.00 raised so far!!
I’m in. Dallas.
UPDATE:
Artists were unavailable for the date I chose. Moved the date tonight and we’ll try again tomorrow.
Thanks to Twitter and you guys we got free web hosting today!
Waiting to hear back from Livestream and Ustream about free streaming for six hours to an enormous crowd.
Brad Ruggles is onboard for site design and Ben Stewart is on for development (which means he’ll do all the code for the site).
Keep praying! Thanks.
I’m not sure what I can do, but I’m a junior at Texas A&M. Let me know if I can do any promotions, etc. from here. I’d love to help out. Definitely praying.
Compassion had posted some information about their staff there in Haiti, a videographer had made it through but his associate had not. They still have a number of contract staff unaccounted for, last message I had read. Helping them help Haiti- very cool
Praying for you Shaun. God bless you for all you do!
I’m in. praying and when the time comes, buying a ticket.

Please allow me to help you in this awesome opportunity!
Shaun – if you want to do something in ATL, have Ben call me. We just finished a Flood Relief Benefit at Trinity Chapel in Powder Springs w over 3200 people. We had full sound, lights, film crews, production staff, 15 acts (Gospel, Gospel Hip Hop, R&B, Christian contemporary, Christian pop, Christian rock, alternative, acoustic, jazz and soul), comedians, mainstream and CCR radio, Gospel Music Channel, ESPN, and several television stations. Perhaps we have some synergy and can help you. Denise
