Maverick City Music Takes Leads Worship in ‘The Biggest Event in the Over 100 Year History of Skid Row’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Maverick City Music recently joined The Music Matters “Summer Day of Service” for an outdoor concert to aid the homeless of Los Angeles’ Skid Row.
The event, hosted by the LA Mission, was created as a way to provide food and supplies to the homeless.
Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin performed on Sunday to a sold-out audience at the Crypto.com Arena.
Following their performance, the group posted a video of their time at the event with the caption:
So honored to have partnered with @thelamission for the Music Matters event alongside our brother @kirkfranklin ! We had an incredible time serving and worshipping with so many yesterday on Skid Row.
Forever grateful to be able to bring the Kingdom and be a reflection of God’s love on this side of heaven!??? #TheKingdomIs
The LA Mission responded:
This was the biggest event in the over 100 year history of Skid Row! This was an unprecedented moment where walls were broken down in ways that are historic to this neighborhood!! When you think that we are less than 1 mile from the site of the Azusa Street Revival – Maverick City Music – you sparked a spirit led moment in the tradition of our community that helped people come home and know they are part of the Kingdom, seen, and most importantly loved! We are so filled and inspired by what went down yesterday – there is a ? in our soul
The “Summer Day of Service” provided 3,500 meals, on-site showers, essential supplies, and prayers.
LA Mission’s CEO, Rev. Troy Vaughn, said the decision to partner with Maverick City Music “started through vision.”
“We envisioned ourselves doing an outreach benefit concert,” he explained. “And it was from there that it evolved to what we see today, which is not just a concert, but more of a festival that is happening in Skid Row to allow us to really begin to bring about real, meaningful change to the members of our community.”
