Wed, 12/01/2021 - 4:00am

The City Lights Tour stop in Pittsburg, Texas by Brock Jones, aka Asaint, had 130+ attendees. Ten families were also provided fully furnished Thanksgiving dinner boxes and gift cards to ensure their holiday meal needs were met. It was a phenomenal concert that we hope can become bigger, more impactful and even more collaborative as his heart is to make this a staple event in his hometown. He sends thanks to Pittsburg High School Principal Johnathan Hill, Pittsburg Councilman Rico Willis, Pastor Kyle Smith, Pastor Patrick Llyod, God’s Closet, and others who partnered with him.
