It was an event that’s meant to break the normal humdrum of our quiet nights. The air was teeming with excitement as production crew and performers alike run to and fro before the show started.

Gents and ladies wore casual get ups consisting of jeans, shirts, and since it was Bahrain winter, some of them wore shiny boots, scarves, and jackets. People piled up from seat to seat until finally, the lights went off, and the stage was set for a very unforgettable night…

A series of performers from different groups showcased their songs with live band accompaniment. The praise and worship line ups were indeed heart-warming and drew us closer to the Lord.

A little later, the curtains opened for a fresh surge of hot talent when the Worshipers in the Desert team hit the stage; kicking off with James Parmis’ rendition of “Hellsong.” (Hellsong is a Christian novelty song composed by Pastor Ogie Cayabyab in the Philippines). The song was so upbeat and funny that the crowd left their seats and danced their hearts away in front.

James went on with “Maging Sino ka Man,” composed by Cesar Molina from the album of the same title from Jesus is Alive Community Bahrain. Followed by Jimmel Galzote’s pop alternative performance of “Pagbuksan” and “Laging Nariyan.” Both songs were composed by Jimmel and belong to the same album, Maging Sino Ka Man.

The pop jazz “Laging Nariyan” with a Latin-Mexican beat, gave the crowd much fun that they formed a very long, single line and roamed the concert hall dancing.

When the crowd had mellowed, Jimmel sang “Maliligtas” and “Tayo Na” for the first time in public. Both songs were composed by John Yutuc and are reportedly may be produced in a single album by John himself and maybe in collaboration with JIA Bahrain.

The Worshipers in the Desert’s song finale gave an energetic boost that shook the place! “Tayo Na,” rendered by Jimmel, had all the back-up singers gather at the center of the stage and stimulate the audience with its fast, upbeat alternative-rock punch. “Tayo Na,” true to its message, urged the audience to live for Christ and celebrate life with Him.

It was indeed an unforgettable night of singing and dancing, not in worldly revelry but in godly devotion to the One, True, Lord—Jesus Christ. To God be all the glory!
