Geoff Moore

I had the oppotunity to spend last Sunday with Geoff Moore and his guitar player Dana Weaver (of SonicFlood). Most folks would remember Geoff's music ministry as the 'Geoff Moore And The Distance' band back in the early to mid 1990's. He's a great guy and a great advocate for Compassion's ministry to children throughout the world. He and his wife have even adopted two girls from China over the years. It's really tough to travel around the world and see poverty and simply do nothing. Geoff has an incredible testimony of faith to action.
I'll be with Geoff and the band again this weekend at Canada Christian College in Toronto as he'll be opening for Audio Adrenaline's farewell tour. It was great to eat Chinese food with Geoff and hear about stories that span the globe. He's been involved with the music biz for over two decades and been partnered with Compassion's ministry for almost as long. Come out and see Geoff's band playing in Toronto this weekend if you've got the time. It's amazing to take in world-class musicians doing what God has empowered them to do so well. I'll be in Calgary through December to work with Geoff Moore again. God is alive in our world, even amidst the worst poverty.
