WE CARE CONCERTS BACK AGAIN!

For many years in the 1990s, the western Michigan male chorus HIS MEN sponsored an annual benefit concert to help feed starving people. It was called WE CARE, and it featured various gospel music groups. Eventually the concerts were discontinued.

Two local area singers in HIS MEN proudly announced today that WE CARE is being resumed, with a new cause: prisoner advocacy. Don Daniels of Muskegon and Dennis Schaaf of Spring Lake reported that the date and location have been set for a benefit concert for HUMANITY FOR PRISONERS. The concert will be held Saturday, October 11, 7:30 PM, at Christ Memorial Church in Holland, and will feature an eclectic array of Christian musicians, according to Daniels and Schaaf.

Three male chorus will be featured: The Singing Crusaders Male Chorus of Kalamazoo; the Men of A-Chord from the Chicago area; and HIS MEN from western Michigan. Other prominent musicians donating their talents will be the African American gospel group from Grand Rapids, The James Family Singers; and prominent gospel recording artist Gary Matthews.

There will be no admission charge for the concert, but a free will offering will be taken, with all proceeds for Humanity for Prisoners.

“It was very appropriate for our chorus to restart these concerts,” said Daniels and Schaaf. Doug Tjapkes, who is the president of Humanity for Prisoners, was also the founding director of HIS MEN, and the originator of the We Care concerts! “He has now dedicated his life to serving as an advocate for prisoners, especially the wrongly convicted!”

The public is welcome.
