Every year at the Gospel Announcers Guild meetings during the Gospel Music Workshop of America, one artist takes the room by surprise.
So far this year, that artist is Pastor Seon Thompson.
This tall, bespectacled, mild-mannered gentleman preacher from Flint, MI got in front of the gospel announcers Wednesday afternoon and tore a gaping hole in the room at the Duke Energy Center with his hard-shouting, range-leaping performance of “I’m Out.”
He laid people out like nobody’s business. After his singing, he sat down quietly while everyone else in the room struggled to stand on unsettled legs.
Thompson is with Just Wait Records out of Flint. Check out his website at www.seonthompson.com and watch for his project, I’m Out, scheduled for release August 25, 2009.
Speaking of unsettling, did anyone else who attended the Quartet celebration on the third floor ballroom yesterday evening feel the floor actually swaying under them and watch the spotlight supports swinging back and forth? I eyed where the exits were just in case…
At right are the Miracle Lights of Miami, Florida, this year’s Quest winners in the Quartet Division, performing at the Wednesday evening Quartet spectacular.

Too God alone be the Glory. Pastor Thomspon is man of God! He is walking in his promises because he understand that “God is not a man, that he should lie (Numbers 23:19.”)He also know the thougths that God think toward him “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give him an expected end Jeremiah 29-11.” Again, to God alone be the Glory.
T God be the Glory! Pastor S. Thompson you are so wonderful, you know how to reach the young generation we like to see more of the artist focus more on the young, because we know the old suppose to know the way to help us find our way. You keep up what you doing because God gets the Glory.Let the church say A-MEN!!!
