Michael W. Smith and a Host of Artists Join U2's Bono for Africa DATA Project
CCM,
July 03, 2002
As many of you know by now, Bono videotaped a special DATA public service announcement that was unveiled by Michael W. Smith at Creation East last Friday night. Via the festival's huge DiamondVision screen, Bono apologized for "interrupting your festival" and went on to talk for several minutes about the Bible's extreme emphasis on the plight of the poor, and our call to respond to Africa's need.
The following night Michael W. played the video clip for the 200,000 attendees at Celebrate Freedom in Dallas. Bono's PSA was created for the Christian community, affirming his recent statements that DATA is "an unusual combination of church and street." Look for other Christian artists to showcase Bono's special message, along with email sign-up sheets, at this summer's festivals and on various tours.
