Day 3-- Williamsburg to Richmond, VA



On Friday, we got up early to travel to Richmond, VA to sing in Henrico County Jail East. In between the day’s 2 concerts, we visited a mall for a lunch break, then traveled on to Henrico County Jail West. Afterwards we enjoyed some free time around the hotel.


“Henrico Co. Jail East was the best concert yet. Everybody was nervous, but all the inmates were really listening. You could tell they enjoyed it.”—Caroline W.


“I was happy when we sang at the Henrico Co. Jail East because they were also happy, which made me almost cry from joy!”—Christina L.

“The 2 jails were definitely dramatically different than any other kind of concert I have done on tour. It was hard not to look at a person and ask yourself ‘What did that person do to be imprisoned?’ But to spread the word of God correctly, I had to expel all thoughts and pass the message of God to them. And even though there were a few disrespectful people, the few people who responded well made the concert worthwhile.” –Aaron T.
