The Life and Faith Tour quickly is approaching, and the excitement is building as word of mouth spreads and the first date of the tour draws near. Kicking off in Richmond, Va., on June 19, 2010, the tri-city tour will continue on to Rockingham, N.C., July 10 and Atlanta, Ga., July 24.
With the goal to leave every city it touches better than it was before, the Life and Faith Tour was created for the sole purpose of giving back to benefit local communities. The citizens are looking forward to the charitable event and encouraging everyone to come out and support the goal while being entertained by an all-star lineup. The cast includes: New York Best Selling author Karen Kingsbury; former “Survivor” contender and motivational speaker, Austin Carty will team with Hawk Nelson, six-time Grammy® Award winner Amy Grant, multi-platinum selling band MercyMe, CMA Award winners Diamond Rio, as well as ventriloquists, comedians, authors, speakers and more.

I encourage you to get the word out about the Life and Faith Tour: Tell your family, neighbors and Facebook friends!”—Roberdel Baptist Church, Rockingham, North Carolina
“The rural parts of North and South Carolina have had so many years of economic setbacks that a little bit of heaven sent in the form of music will do a lot of good.” —Our Daily Bread Christian Food Ministry, Inc.
“Rockingham is honored to be one of the three major cities to be included in one of the biggest Christian music events to come to this area. We are so excited about this opportunity to be a part of The Ultimate Family Experience and to have an event that changes lives spiritually, as well and placing money back into the community’s charities.” —City of Rockingham
