Love Your Neighbor Concert Proceeds Benefit El Shaddai Christian Church

The annual Love Your Neighbor event focuses each year on a special need in the Nashville community and includes some of gospel music's biggest names to raise funds and gather volunteers for that year's cause. After the tragic Nashville flood that devastated Music City on May 1 and 2, this year's "Love Your Neighbor" proceeds will go towards the rebuilding efforts of El Shaddai Christian Church, a small Hispanic church in South Nashville. On Sunday, May 2, the catastrophic flooding brought six feet of water rushing inside the El Shaddai church building. Pastor German Castro had to be rescued by boat. You can see Castro's water rescue on WSMV Fox17.

Brandon Heath Comments on Love Your Neighbor Event

Brandon Heath said about the Love Your Neighbor concert, "Jason and I immediately connected with El Shaddai because we are called to action by God's Word when He says in Galations 6:10, 'let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.'"

Heath commented, "More than a benefit, it felt like a big family piled into the living room to share songs, stories, and all that we have. I'm immensely grateful for the generosity of Nashville, and those watching online. Above all, God was glorified and our neighbors were loved."
