An Evening with Chris and Abby eaton
On the 24th of June 2019 Chris and Abby Eaton joined us for a great evening of music, testimonies and a message of HOPE! Chris is one of Britain's classic songwriters and many famous singers have recorded his songs including Cliff Richard, who reached No.1 in the UK singles charts with Saviour's Day! Abby is an established Christian singer in her own right and it was a great joy to hear Chris and Abby singing together to bring HOPE to the people of Exeter! There was rejoicing in Heaven too because a number of people decided to call upon the name of the Lord for their salvation too and we give God all the glory!
