Ann told him it was time to start, as Thomas walked out onto the stage. Most of the microphones were remote; so, he did not walk up to the mike stands.

He then walked to the edge of the stage, which overlooked Union Station and started addressing the massive crowd, “Tonight, as we all know, God’s Witness, Jack South, will talk to you within the next hour. However, before that, we have for you some spiritual songs performed by many of your local talent in Kansas City. We also have worldwide acclaimed talent who will praise God and his son Jesus Christ.”
