Bookings now being taken for Garth’s 2015 tour
Contact to find out more about bringing Garth to your church or venue
With the release of the album Something for the Soul, and the publication of Garth’s new book Occupied Territories – the Revolution of Love from Bethlehem to the Ends of the Earth, this tour features new songs such as Steadfast Love, Wide Open Arms, and Beautiful Resistance, along with songs already familiar to those who have seen Garth in concert recently such as Tell ‘em About the Dream Martin (described as “an instant classic”), No Injustice Will Last Forever, and the beautiful Bethlehem is Calling. It’s easy to host Garth in concert, and by so doing you help bring themes of truth and justice to the forefront of your community – and materially help people around the world who receive support through Amos Trust projects. You also get to enjoy a great evening of challenge and inspiration – and the fun which is always part of Garth’s concerts!

Prayer for the New Year
Everloving God it is a new year full of new opportunities
As we ask forgiveness for the past
And make resolutions for the future
May we show your love and live your way
May we take time to pause and draw strength
And let our souls catch up
And be refreshed regularly through this year
May we show your love and live your way
May we remember the poor and the forgotten
The marginalized and the weak
And find ways to show your compassion
May we show your love and live your way
May the healing hope of the gospel be integral to our lives
So that the ways of justice and peace are reflected in us
May we show your love and live your way
May we take time to see the beauty of your world –
To see the beauty of trees, flowers, birds and animals –
To cherish them and work for the sustaining of our garden home –
So that we leave it in a good state for generations to come
May we show your love and live your way
May our hearts be refreshed by joy, music, creativity, love and hope
So we in turn can bring hope and joy to others.
Throughout this year may we show your love
and live your way.

‘I remember when I was a kid seeing Garth Hewitt on stage. He was banging on about Christians having a heart for the poor and saving the world and frankly I didn’t get any of it. Garth has always been ahead of his time and we are all catching up with what God has been saying through Garth for the last 30 years. I wish I had listened closer, but it sometimes takes a lifetime to recognise a true prophet. It is people like Garth who make us look at the world differently and realise what it is to be a true Christian.’
