"Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast!" - William Congreve

The 70-piece IBC orchestra, under veteran missionary Rev. Rick Martin, presented "How Great Thou Art" in several venues like Sta. Mesa Baptist Bible Church (under Rev. Joseph Boyd Lyons), Christ Baptist Church in San Pedro, Laguna (under Dr. Ed Laurena), and Bethany Baptist Church in Makati (under Rev. Gerardo Nable)

Ptr. Martin also challenged the Bethany Men (led by Ptr. Nable) in their Sunday afternoon meeting.

During the youth hour, the IBC orchestra members fellowshipped with the Bethany youth group, with Bro. John Art Hernan (Bethany prayer director) giving the inspirational message.
