How I Came This Far. by joyblinks(f): 4:41pm On Apr 04, 2015 |
I just want to share this with us. Some months ago I had this idea of organising a gospel music Competition for teenagers since I have so much passion for Gospel music but I was limited because of funds. So I had to do a little savings. Some weeks ago, I decided to put that dream into action. After all planing has been done, i started distributing flyers around port harcourt to invite teenagers who could sing for N50,000, N20,000 and N10,000 respectively but needs to get a form for N1,000. After about a week, nobody showed interest and i decided to bring d sale of form down to N500 then a few people got their forms. Meanwhile i wrote a letter out to some churches and schools for sponsorship and they all indicated their interest. But to my greatest surprise, only 2 of the companies offered to help in hall (my church) and feeding (indomie noodles) Meaning the rest bills (Decoration, coverage, prices, instrumentalists etc) will be on me. I felt discouraged because the number of people in attendance was very poor. I thought about quitting but my flyers were all over port Harcourt already. So I forged on reducing the 1st 2nd and 3rd prices and borrowing some borrowable. (No mind my English sha) (The show must go on.) In all I am excited the audition was done today and it was very successful. Some of my friends volunteered to work for free and all went well. The finale is on the 18th. I still pray for strength and grace to pull through it all because I intend making this a yearly event. Below are some pictures from today's auditon. Some contestant and my Judges. Seeing these teens sing praises to God with a sweet voice just makes me happy. After the finale, i will upload more photos. Photo order.
