      @@JamieWhite I have a question so I saw this video tonight and I am trying to host my first big gospel concert. I’m trying to think about using a church or an arena. The reason why I want to use an arena because some of the churches are not allowing people to use their facility and then it is a little bit of irritating for me lol because I have the venues that’s not churches that let’s just say that is like Xfinity center in Maryland where I live at but sometime those venues don’t answer their emails or different stuff like that what I’m trying to say is how do you deal with that when people consistently do not answer or the answer you at their own time or they give you a facility paper but they said it’s not a contract but you have doubts that it is. What do you do with that? It’s a lot to it that I’m trying to figure out as well. I’m trying to get my artist to respond and then they don’t sometimes but it’s the same as the venues even trying to get sound people and backline instrument sometimes people answered sometimes people don’t, but how do you deal with all that without getting irritated for your first event like this, as I stated about my first gospel concert event

  • @jennylharrellcatron1454
    @jennylharrellcatron1454 Месяц назад

    Im organizing my first race. It's an 8 hour looped course in a small town in Western N.C. It will be held on the anniversary of Hurricane Helene and will be a trek through woods that were decimated by the storm. I've never organized a race, but have run over 100 half marathons, a few marathons, and a host of other races. It's a small town, and can only hold about 140 runners. It's a race to raise money for the town's parks that were destroyed by the hurricane. We're giving out long sleeved t shirts as a swag for the race, but am keeping it pretty low key. I would love to have a list of things to do, and things to purchase. Ive never even hosted a birthday party, so I feel like Im out of my league, but really feel God pulling me to do this, and quite honestly Im more afraid of not listening than I am of failing at the organization of it. I guess they would be the same thing though.

You may consider creating a vision board, practice visualizing your event being successful. And for me, I always ask God of the Universe for guidance. For all who believe in their hearts, God is faithful to answer our prayers🙏. Praying you will experience all of Gods amazing gifts: Love, Happiness, Joy, Peace, Prosperity, Strength, Wisdom, and Patience❤️🙏❤️
