When one lady asked for volunteers to join her at a Rivertown Mall in Grandville, Michigan, to sing “Amazing Grace,” 250 people responded with RSVPs, and over 1,000 showed up at the mall.
What makes this different from other “flash mobs” is that the lyrics were given out in a high-quality gospel tract form (so that anyone could join in with the singing).
“Fortunately the singing at the Rivertown Mall was video-taped, and it brought tears to my eyes,” says Ray Comfort, who came up with the idea. “In the clip you can see people holding the tracts as they sing, and at the beginning security guards are walking through the crowd not knowing who to stop.
“I believe that the average American loves the original message of Christmas, and they’re tired of whining atheists threatening to sue those who display nativity scenes, etc., in public places. So here is one way they can proclaim their faith and no one can stop them. These song bursts are taking place throughout the nation. May someone do this on Capitol Hill and state properties all over the country and bring a bit of joy to the nation.”
