Ricardo Sanchez - Say So - Over The Top 2010 (Round 2)

Sumter,SC On Jan. 23, for the second year. Mountain Movers Ministry is bringing a youth concert, "Over the Top," to Sumter's Patriot Hall. The ministry's goal is to coordinate and sponsor events with speakers and musicians for Sumter's youth to encourage them to be godly. "Youth today have so many things thrown at them, from TV to different things," said Chad Dowling, one of the founders of the ministry. "We just feel like (the event) is something that would help the kids to grow more spiritual." This year's event will once again feature The Ricardo Sanchez Band. Ricardo Sanchez wrote "Every Prayer" with artists Israel Houghton and Mary Mary, and the song has since been nominated for a Grammy. Dowling said Sanchez plays "real upbeat spiritual songs" and that the performance will be "jazzed up" this year with video and lasers. "Each year we're trying to make it better and better," he said. The keynote speaker for the event this year will be Reggie Dabbs, who has been a motivational speaker for youth for about 20 years. Dowling said Dabbs spoke at an event in Atlanta and Dowling, after hearing him, got in touch with him to speak at this year's event. "He's just a phenomenal speaker," Dowling said. A local band, Empire State, will be the opening act for the event. Another thing that will be happening that same weekend is the premiere of "To Save a Life," a movie about a youth pastor's struggles. Dowling said the ministry is sponsoring the premiere on Jan. 22, 23 and 24. The event drew about 800 youths last year.. But Dowling said the Mountain Movers are not focusing on keeping up the numbers because several other events conflict with it this year. "If we get 1,000 people that would be great," Dowling said. "But it's not really the numbers that we're worried about.. It's the connections." For further details, go to www.mountainmoversministry.org
