Local Contact: (name and daytime phone)
Arizonans Dave Anderson and Kelly Patten will present a concert at (time), (day of week), at (location). The concert is sponsored by (host).
Dave and Kelly's music is a blend of contemporary, gospel, hymns, and lots of old-time Sunday School songs. The audience will be invited to sing along but, as Dave says, "so long as it's the same song."
Dave and Kelly are from Arizona, but Kelly grew up in Stanley and Velva, North Dakota and Dave grew up as a Lutheran preacher's kid in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Dave has been involved in lay ministry in the Lutheran church for 48 years first in youth ministry (Dave is the founder of Lutheran Youth Encounter) and then music ministry including concerts and worship resources.
During the concert/service, Dave will share from his personal experiences from having traveled 4,000,000 miles over the past 35 years of concert ministry. These travels have included concerts in Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, the Scandinavian countries, and 25 trips to Australia and New Zealand.
In 1993, God used incredibly heroic men to rescue Dave, his wife Barbara, and five others from 36-degree water after their plane crashed into the Bering Sea while returning from a missionary and humanitarian mission in the Russian Far East. All seven men and women survived what could not be survived!
This story has been heard by millions around the world on radio, TV, and through personal appearances. The Rescue Story points to the God which rescues men and women from overwhelming circumstances in their lives. Dave will tell highlights of this story at the (church name, location) concert. Learn more at www.TheRescueStory.com.
Dave, Barb, and Kelly are currently involved in the most ambitious project yet: Shepherd's Canyon Retreat, a special counseling ministry for burned-out and emotionally wounded Protestant ministers and their spouses. Week-long Shepherd's Canyon Retreats are held in Wisconsin, Arizona, and soon in other states. Visit www.ShepherdsCanyonRetreat.org for more information about this new project. The free-will offering received at the concert will benefit the Shepherd's Canyon Retreat ministry.
