Don Moen's new dates for India tour announced

Don Moen's tour to India has been confirmed for October-November after tentative dates earlier disappointed fans across the country.

The 'God is Good' tour will begin from Bangalore on October 23, followed by Chennai, Shillong and Mumbai.

Don is a bestselling singer, worshipper and songwriter with sales of over 5 million albums worldwide. The concerts are scheduled for 23 October in Bangalore, 24 October in Chennai , 5 November in Shillong and 13 November in Mumbai.

On the sidelines of the concerts, Don and his 10-member team will also teach and train in several aspects of musicianship, worship leading and songwriting.

The American singer, who has received a Dove Award for his work on the musical "God With Us, is expected to draw thousands of people in his 4-Nation tour that includes Dubai, Muscat and Colombo.

Vitrus Dsouza, founder of The Friendship Club (TFC), which is organising most of Don's India concerts, said the event will be exciting as this is his first ever concert in India.

"We will experience music that heals, delivers, and brings about unity and peace. We are eagerly looking forward," he said.

He informed that during the workshops "Don will share his testimony, his inspiration for songs, lyrics, composition, melodies and on the lifestyle of a worship leader and a worshipper."

Earlier, the acclaimed singer, in a letter to TFC, said, he wanted to "visit India for many years, but until now, although I've tried, it hasn't been possible. But God's timing is perfect!"

"My heart is filled with expectation at what God is going to do as we come together to worship. He longs to visit us in ways we've not known before, and worship is the atmosphere that welcomes His presence and gives way to His marvelous works," he added.

"As God is enthroned on our praises, I believe He will be with us to heal those who are sick, save those who are lost, and deliver all those who are oppressed. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and I'm giving thanks in advance, for all God is going to do!"

Don will be performing at Palace Grounds in Bangalore; MMRDA Grounds, Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai; YMCA, Royapettha Grounds in Chennai and Polo Grounds in Shillong.
