The Extreme Concert Tour
Sound Advice

June 30, 2001





For the past few years I
have witnessed God's increased anointing on music and worship as an evangelical
tool. Many churches have begun to use special events to expand their territory
and offer non-believers new and exciting ways to meet our Lord. Christian
music concerts lay the foundation for the invitation - it is infinitely
easier to invite people to receive the love of God in Jesus Christ after
they have had a personal encounter with some people who have shown it! 

One such example is the Extreme
Tour, a cooperative outreach effort involving over 50 bands, over 200 churches
and ministries, and over 20 different record labels. I am blessed to have
recently become a part of this ministry and to be used by God in such an
exciting way. In the coming weeks, I will chronicle the technical and spiritual
elements of preparing the sound teams and equipment to produce such an
event. 

This tour is not about any
one particular church, denomination, or ministry. Rather, it is the effort
of the Body of Christ at large across the Western United States to reach
lost people in their cities. It is a volunteer effort. No monies are paid
to any of the artists, crewmembers, or coordinators of this event. No performance
or production fees are charged for this event. No admission fees are charged
for this event. To put it simply, no monies are generated by this event. 

In order to achieve this,
approximately $40,000.00 worth of time, product, and services is donated
to the event effort per city. This is accomplished through the Extreme
Tour Team. This does not include the value of the services that you, the
local coordinators, usually arrange for in each city. As you can see, this
is a tremendous opportunity for churches to work together on a very large
event without the cost that such an event usually entails.
