This record was produced so that our people across

the church could capture the dynamic spirit of the Con-

ference on Evangelism held in the municipal Music Hall

in Kansas City, January 13-15,1970. It is not a hi-fidelity

record but an "as it was” live recording of part of the

music which played such an important role to the over-

flow crowds.

During the conference music was directed by the

following: Paul McNutt, Gene Hood, Jim Green, Dwight

Meredith, and Paul Skiles.

Choral groups presented special music in the eve-

ning sessions. The beginning session was opened by a

choir and brass ensemble from Mid-America Nazarene

College directed by Paul McNutt singing "Battle Hymn

of the Republic.” The American and Christian flags were

brought down the auditorium aisles and placed in stands

at the front. The choir then focused on the personal com-

mission of evangelism with a special selection whose

message was taken from the words of Christ —"Ye shall

be My witnesses , .

Wednesday evening a volunteer choir of church

musicians led by Jim Green sang "Heaven Came Down”

and "Sweet Jesus.” A male quartet was featured in the

special arrangement.

Thursday evening the service was highlighted by the

Encounters, a music ensemble from Trevecca Nazarene

College led by James Van Hook, and a massive teen

choir directed by Paul Skiles.

The Encounters opened the service with an arrange-

ment of "Amazing Grace.” They sang "Joy Bells in My

Heart” with ringing bells accompanying, "I Sure Do Love

the Lord,” and a climactic arrangement of "It Is Well with

My Soul.”

The teen choir and Encounters combined to sing a

special arrangement of "Oh, How I Love Jesus.” During

the singing, teens wrote their testimonies, which were

flashed from overhead projectors on large screens in

several parts of the auditorium.

The two groups paved the way for Paul Martin’s

timely message by singing "Listen, Everybody Listen —

Come to Christ Today.”

Music accented the mood of the entire conference

with a spirit of praise and mission.

A special conference feature was Talent Time, a musical prelude to

the opening session, Tuesday evening, January 13, which is the

basis for this record, “Evangelists Sing.” A number of musicians

serving in the field of evangelism participated in this pre-service

program directed by Wally Laxson.

The song evangelists featured on this record are listed below and their

pictures appear on the front in the same sequence.
