ORIGINAL: oksgfan PraiseFest is the most wonderful Southern Gospel event my husband and I have ever experienced! It is so uplifting, worshipful, fun, refreshing, encouraging, etc. I could go on and on. We attended PraiseFest for the first time the same year we experienced NQC for a first. We loved NQC but if I could only go to one event (NQC or PraiseFest), I'd choose PraiseFest everytime! We have not been able to attend PraiseFest the past 3 years due to a timing conflict with my current job assignment. However, I have very fond memories of the years we attended and look forward to the day when we can attend again. Gerald and the Greater Vision team do a wonderful job hosting this event. Mike Speck, with Stan Whitmire at the keyboard, create a very worshipful atmosphere. You get to enjoy great music from several groups, great preaching, and lots of good humor! I thank God for Greater Vision's willingness to sacrifice the hours and headaches required to host such a wonderful event! Just another example of their servant's spirit! As far as the timing of this event, I understand timing conflicts because we experienced that some ourselves. However, the November weather and the slower pace with less vacationers in the area help me enjoy this event even more. You can get to any restaurant you want. You can go shopping without spending lots of time trapped in traffic on the highway. The only thing I can think of that would make this event more enjoyable is if you could experience it with some of your friends &/or family. Keep up the great work Gerald! Welcome, oksgfan! Are you an Okie? I was born in Oklahoma City and moved to Georgia when I was nine. Thanks for the write-up of praisefest. So you'd chose Praisefest if you could only do ONE??? WOW! I can hardly wait to go to my first one! I just wish my husband would go, but since he won't take the time off work, I'm planning to take a lady friend that is a new Christian (she was saved about 5 years ago....and I call that "new".) Sounds like this will be great for her, too!
