Creekside Diaries v3: Diamond Awards 2018

Diamond Awards 2018 at Creekside Gospel Music Convention

Tuesdays at Creekside.   If you’ve ever been here, you know exactly what that means without any further explanation.

Tuesdays at Creekside begin at 9:00 a.m. with music in the Showcase Hall, followed by the evening concert at 5:00 p.m., Diamond Awards, and Midnight Prayer. This year was no different.

At 9:00 a.m. Pastor David Mathis from Living Hope Free Methodist Church in West Unity Ohio, opened the day with prayer.  Pastor Dave has been a friend to many of the Creekside artists including Hope’s Journey, Southern Raised, Mark209, and Kristen Stanton.  

The morning was filled with a non-stop rotation of artists which lasted until approximately 2:00 p.m.

At 5:00 Scott Roberts and the 5 o’clock band hit the stage, playing some well-loved hymns and classic gospel songs which always gears up the audience for the rest of the evening. Tuesday night featured a lineup of great artists leading into a time of singing and preaching with C.T. Townsend and his wife Becky.

The atmosphere was electric and the crowd was talking well past the end of the evening about the message Townsend delivered.  The message was a great reminder that God has already blessed us with what we need, so when we feel like we have nothing left, we need to go take another look. And when we’ve done everything we can, we need not fear because God will step in.

For many in attendance, the highlight of  the evening were the Diamond Awards, hosted by Dr. Jerry Goff and Jan Buckner Goff.  

Gloryway Quartet, who won the Sunrise Quartet of the Year, were asked to open the awards show with some singing.  Justin Crank from Gloryway reported that it was an honor just to be asked to be part of the Diamond Awards.

“We didn’t think we had a chance at winning.  We just want to give God glory first and a thank you to all of our fans and family for their love and support,” said Crank.

Winning multiple awards were the Jordan Family Band with the Sunrise Song of the Year,  “This is the Day;” the Gospel Music Today Video DVD of the year, and the Sunrise Award.

Eagles Wings also took home multiple awards with the Bluegrass Gospel Song of the year, Bluegrass Gospel Female Artist of the Year, and Bluegrass Gospel Male artist of the year.  

Also walking away with awards were:

The Children of the Promise –Sunrise Trio of the Year

The Williamsons — Mixed Group of the Year

C.T. and Becky Townsend – Duet of the Year

The Kingsmen—Quartet of  the Year

HighRoad – Christian Country Song of the Year

Vic Clay  — Publisher’s Choice Award

Jeff Stice – Anthony Burger Instrumentalist of the Year

Chainbreaker (Triumphant Quartet) — Song of the Year

Gerald Williams – JD Sumner Living  Legend Award

Gerald Crabb – Dottie Rambo Songwriter of the Year

Lottie Squires —  Paul Heil Award for Broadcasting

Robert York—Mountaintop Industry Award

The evening closed out with Exodus leading Midnight Prayer, once again centering on how prayer changes things.  God has met with us in this place. And it’s not over yet.

Bristol Revival With CT Townsend Update

CT Townsend

From CT Townsend:

Thank you to all our friends who have been so kind to reach out, encourage, and pray for Bristol. Just wanted to update you on the meeting so far.

We have had a tremendous week with a full tent every night. We haven’t had a night with under 2500 people yet. We praise the Lord for how this community is backing the meeting. You can definitely tell that people are praying & hungry to see God move.

17 more people walked the aisle last night, and professed that they trusted Christ! That’s 64 People who have trusted Christ, under the tent, in only 4 nights. The most amazing thing about that is, that for the most part this week, the Lord had directed me to preach to the church, and people are still getting saved. Praise the Lord!

From soul-winning efforts in the streets, to services under the tent 135 people have professed Christ here in Bristol! AMEN!

Last night a sweet lady walked up to me so burdened. She testified to me about her son, and how he needed Christ. She told me how he wouldn’t come to church with them, but that he was coming that night. She wept and asked me to pray for her 34 year old son. Last night during the invitation people were being dealt with on the altars, and I heard a commotion from the right side of the tent, and here he came! That woman’s son, with the whole family following him. I personally jumped off the stage and had the privilege of leading him to the Lord. Seeing that mothers face was priceless. Glad God still answers prayers!

Please keep praying that God will continue working and moving in this area. We sure need it!

God bless!

From CT:

I am so very thankful for my wife, Becky Townsend. I simply could not do what I do without her. When I married her, I remember thinking I could never love her more than I did then. But I was so wrong, I love her more today than ever before. She is an incredible, loving mother… a wonderful wife, and a great Christian.

When she hurts, I hurt.

For the past few weeks Becky, has not felt well. Major problems have been ruled out, and more test scheduled this week. Becky is in pain, while doctors are scratching their heads.
