St. Louis winner for Gaither tickets nominated 
by friend who had witnessed losses

Publisher's note:  One of the hardest things we have ever had to do was to select a 'winner' for the tickets to the Gaithers' St. Louis Homecoming series.  All the testimonies were  moving. However, when we received this, we were moved by a couple of points.  First, the losses within such a short time,  including the loss of a child by a mother.  Next, the fact that our followup indicated that the Wolffs had never had the opportunity to attend a Gaither concert.  And, finally, the fact that this nomination came from a friend, Mrs. Dianne Connelly, and as Bill sings at the start of his show, 'Old Friends' are really the best.

"My friends Cindy and Harold don't have a computer so I am sending this in for them to be considered for the Gaither tickets.

Last year  Cindy lost her Mother. Shortly after that Cindy and Harold lost their youngest son. He was married and had a child with his wife from a previous marriage. He was 22 years old. They had gone through a long battle  because their son Joey had many complications due to his kidney failure and transplant. 

None the less Cindy knows he is with the Lord, and this keeps her going.Truely they love the GAITHERS and God.  I felt this would be so uplifting for them to have an opportunity to go to a live concert. So this is the truth and I pray they will be considered for the tickets. Their address is 11 Branson Dr. Arnold,Mo. Mr.&Mrs.Harold Wolff Thank you for this chancefor them to win!!"

We had the opportunity to meet the Wolffs, and I want to assure you that both were so excited, and Mrs. Wolff spent much of the evening with her hands folded as in  prayer as she watched the show with a look of rapture on her face.  They were deserving as are all of the others.

There were many other outstanding entries, many from areas where tickets were not available.  We will be notifying several of those people in the next few days of their prizes, subject to availability, of CDs or Videotapes.  Their entries will also be publisher. 

We wish to thank all of you who entered.  This promotion was a project of TodaysSeniorsNetwork.com and did not involve any member of the Gaithers or the Homecoming series.  

But, what struck us, was the depth of the joy of the uplifting spirit provided by all the performers in the Homecoming series.  It is obvious that all of you...all of us...are true 'winners'
