| Past GVO Events: Healing Sri Lanka, The Benefit concert and G-VO Album Release
June 22nd 2009 Pasadena California, John Baptist Records recording artist, Rajeev Nandakumaran (aka G-Vo), will be releasing his second album, Zer0 & 1ne, with a theatrically driven concert backed by a band and orchestra. A faithful brother in Christ Rajeev is a Sri Lankan-American artist who has a great and a deep love for his motherland Sri Lanka. Though he posseses magnificant talent, his main focus is not entertaining the crowds but to proclaim the word of God and lend a hand to the needs of others. All proceeds from this event will benefit those who are in refugee camps in Sri Lanka. Visit our facebook site for this event and visit Rajeev's Recording Group www.JohnBaptistRecords.com. When we prayed together, Rajeev's main prayer was that this concert attendees will have a true Conversion of spirit to accept Christ not just a feeling of being touched. Praise God His Christ Driven Spirit.

Prayer Cell For Displaced Innocent Tamil Civilians
Let us urgently pray for innocent Tamil Sri Lankans who are being displaced and striving to start back their lives after brutal era of war. Pray that many hurtful hearts will be restored with love and peace and their past hurtful experiences may see a spiritual restoration. We pray that majority of Sri Lankans will continue to be heavily involved in lending hands to the affected Tamils and will take the forefront of this restoration process. This would be highly effective in building trust and faithfulness between both Sinhalese and Tamil groups. We pray that ultimately, Peace and Harmony will truly reign in the hearts of every single Sri Lankan worldwide. We will be holding an all night prayer vigil and a full day fast and prayer for these Tamils who are helplessly caught in the midst. | Soldiers' and Refugee Family Gift Drive
