There will be no admission Dan Schall charge at any of the concerts. A love offering will be received. Schall is from Zelionople, Pa. Through his music and testimony, he conveys his love for Jesus Christ and his concern for his fel- low man's eternity. His ministry focuses on encouragement and God's love for man. Dan stutters when he speaks, but the Lord has blessed him with a singing voice of praise to share the Lord's words through music. In his early years of his life he was filled with anger, feeling that even if there was a God, He had forsak- en him. Even though he had diffi- culty in being able to share what Christ had meant to him in spoken word, God had given him a voice to share it through song. Through his concerts he is able to reach to help others realize what God has given them. For 30 years, he worked a full- time job and continued to give 100- 125 concerts a year. In the fall of 2001, he resigned his job and formed Dan Schall Ministries. In addition to his concerts, he spends much of his time visiting the peo- ple that God leads him to. You are able to hear some of his music and his weekly webcast at his web site at www.DanSchall.org. CDs are avail- able at the concert and through the web site. Dan Schall Ministries is a non- profit organization. Churches Asked To Assist Their Members With Census Law Offices of Monica Taibl, P.L.
