The audience found both the choir’s and the band’s performances outstanding. What touched my heart the most was when an older veteran came up to me and thanked me for singing for and honoring the veterans. I was honored to make a difference in the life of a man who had boldy served our country. I sincerely thanked him for his service.

In Matthew 20:26-28, Jesus defined servant leadership: “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” In John 13:12-17, Jesus
