CONCERTS & WORKSHOPS |
|---|---|
Michael Lewis is dynamic in concert In concert, Michael sings and plays acoustic and electric guitars. When performing solo, Michael switches between electric and acoustic guitars, performing with soundtracks and live looping. Audiences watch as Michael records and assembles loops on the fly, creating his own live accompaniment. He then performs solos over the top of the impromptu recording. Michael's looping technique brought the crowd to its feet at the International guitar festival in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. More than just a guitarist, Michael's vocals range from passionate to powerful – his expressive voice conveying deep emotion. Listeners often comment on the underlying sense of reverence and peace that accompanies Michael's singing. |

| Concerts for GENERAL AUDIENCES | |
| Our main ministry and most popular event appropriate for ALL age groups. Contemporary Christian music performed by a seasoned performer, talented vocalist and an amazing guitar player. Yet clearly, the focus of the evening is Jesus -- contemporary music as prayers, praise and worship. Gradually, Michael begins to intersperse the songs with stories and teachings -- drawing from the scriptures or from his own walk with the Lord, the message is an exhortation to embrace the living presence of Jesus and put Him in the center of your daily life. The concert lasts approximately 2 hours and is truly an opportunity to encounter Jesus. |
| Concerts for YOUTH | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
An upbeat set of music and radical guitar playing mark Michael's youth set – often walking out into the audience while performing an amazing solo! He speaks directly to where kids are at, without mincing words – the message is "are you ready to live as a Christian? To embrace Jesus, live for Him with courage and heart and seek Him first in all you do?" Many teens come to the concert questioning the reality of God – wondering if Christianity is relevant for their lives. They've heard what the world has to say, but by the end of the night, teens have heard a message that condtradicts the trends of society. They hear straight out that happiness and peace can't be found in possesions, clothes, sex or video games. God's message for them –you are precious in the eyes of the Lord and He will forgive your every failing. Youth today need to understand that there is an emptiness inside that only God can fulfill and the answers to life's questions are right in front of them – in the word of God. |
