Premier says "well done" to Gospel Tent at Country Music Festival

Posted: 29-Jan-2010

"Tamworth, NSW, hosts the Annual 'Country Music Festival' in January. Last week saw many volunteers helping with childrens' ministry and the music ministry. We had hundreds of people come through the tent for free drinks in the 38 degree heat. As one of the bands played, we had a surprise visit from our Local Tamworth MP Peter Draper, as well as the NSW Premier Kristina Keneally. A member of our evangelism team, Dawn Clay Obst, 'scooped' Ms Keneally in to the tent from the main street and offered her some refreshments. I was able to explain the purpose of the tent in brief as well as my role in the North West of NSW in setting up and supporting SRE teachers and Chaplains in Public Schools. Ms Keneally mentioned her own children attending SRE classes." - Jonathan Harris
