Raj is working specifically on and event called 'The Battle Zone Music Fest' - see the flyer below. The event is on the 6 th of April . we have a enormous task of razing funds for the project costing almost £2,650 Indian Rs 2,30,000.
Six local bands will be playing and this will give a good platform for the Indian Christian youth bands to perform. Headlining will be a band called called Redrain (see www.redrain.org). Red Rain members start making their way back to NZ this month after two months apart. After a very busy schedule in 2006 the band decided to take an extra month to rest and recoup with family and friends. 2007 sees the band the hit the studio to re- record some old songs and work on some new ones. They have some great tours planned for the year starting at the end of March in India and will be in the states and Europe from Sept through Dec.
They are hoping to get 3-4 thousand young people for this concert so please prayer that all the organisation goes to plan.
