The OFC Team completed another day of their mission and Christ was glorified. The Singers started the day with prayer and breakfast and departed for Landstuhl Army Base. On the way, they filled the bus with singing as they prepared for their first chapel service.

At the Landstuhl Chapel, they performed many songs. One song in particular that resonated with the crowd was a great a cappella rendition of “When God Dips His Love”. People stood in testimony with raised hands for this amazing song.

Afterwards, the Singers enjoyed Italian cuisine along with Bruno’s special schnitzel and fellowship with the troops at Bruno’s restaurant on the base. They really bonded with the church congregation. To show their appreciation, It is customary for the Singers to sing a song of thanks to the Chef and Staff. This song is always a crowd pleaser as the tune is Michael Jackson’s” Man In The Mirror”, and the lyrics are original to the University Singers. Shortly after, Chaplin Sherman Baker escorted the Singers to Landstuhl Army Regional Medical Center where they sang to military patients. One soldier, April cried in response to joyful songs. God was working His way with all in attendance.

From there, the Singers departed for their second destination to Spangdahlem Air Force Base. There, the Singers had a great connection with Airmen and families from this younger congregation. There was a great turn out for University Singers sang who more contemporary worship songs and delivered a few patriotic songs. One touching moment was when Reverend Bob Kerstetter prayed with Airman named Nate who was moved by Cpl. Chris Peck’s testimony. According to Reverend Bob, “It was such a privilege and honor to talk and pray with Nate about his relatively new walk with the Lord.” After the concert, the OFC team was treated to food, fellowship and free bowling with the troops. Overall, it was a phenomenal start of the OFC tour.
