Last night we had the inaugural Christmas Carols by the Lake in Box Hill Park. It was an incredible event. 100's of locals turned out, and the production team did an absolutely incredible job with it all. Tahnks particularly to Robbie, who was up until about 4am each of the last 3 days preparing for this event. That man is a machine, and very few people know just how much he does around the place!
Our two headliners were Gary Pinto (one of Australias premier vocalists, without a doubt) and Anne Robertson - recently of Australian Idol fame. I had the privilege of providing backing vocals for Anne, and it was a awesome fun! Man does she have an incredible voice!
Backstage I spent a fair bit of time talking to her and her older brother Irvin. They are working hard at seeing where this new fame takes them all and the ministry God has for them. Anne has a great opportunity as a role model for young Australian girls (you should have seen the crowds flock for her autograph!!!) and used it to explain how God has been such an integral part of her journey.
Oh yeh, we also had camels, a donkey, and Santa came on a real firetruck with sirens and everything!!!
We had mosquitos too, but they weren't quite so much fun.
My prayer for Anne is that as her career grows she can keep it real like Gary has done so successfully. That man is an amazing example of someone in the music industry that has kept hold of their faith and what they know to be true.
Peace and prosperity to both of you guys, and thanks to everyone involved in this huge night!
