Take three key concepts— hope, worship and fellow-ship — mix them togetherwith music and you have themakings of a great evening.
Julie Klinger, vice presi-dent of Events and Opera-tions for LifeLight, says theReset Tour, featuring AaronGillespie, Shawn McDonaldand Josh Brewer will be justthat, when it arrives at theNFAA Easton YanktonArchery Complex Tuesdaynight.
The event is sponsoredby Yankton’s First Assemblyof God Church.
“LifeLight several yearsago started doing tours outto the communities aroundus,” Klinger said. “We lovethat everyone comes to themain festival, but we wantedto go out and visit other peo-ple and bring the ministryout to them. We do thatthrough our tours where weare able to go to many com-munities in the area. Obvi-ously, it is not as big as thefestival but it is a LifeLightfeel.”
She said Tuesday’s con-cert will have a veryacoustic/hipster vibe.
“Aaron Gillespie a lot ofkids will know from Under-oath, and he is currentlydrumming for Paramour,”Klinger said. “Aaron is one ofthe most talented guys Ihave ever seen, especially onthe drums and he is soanointed in worship. Peoplewill be blown away by whathe does and his talent andhow he brings it to worship.I have never seen anyonelead worship on the drums;he stands at the drum kitand leads worship. He is re-ally very unique and I thinkkids will freak out about.”
She said that Shawn Mc-Donald, who has been tour-ing the area for years,currently has the No. 1 Chris-tian Rock song — “We Are
Brave” — being played onChristian radio.
“He is one of those indie-hipster-pop artists,” shesaid. “This concert is unlikeanything we have done be-fore because, in the past, wehave always had a full band.I definitely think it is some-thing that everyone will re-ally enjoy.”
The idea of the “Reset”tour was inspired by an up-coming event being pro-moted by the Christiangroup Pulse out of Min-neapolis.
“Pulse has a ‘Reset’ move-ment that we have joined,where in 2016 they are hop-
ing to have the biggest Jesusgathering in history in Wash-ington, D.C., at the mall,”Klinger said. “Several min-istries around the countryhave joined the movementand so this is actually aReset/LifeLight-producedtour. It has been cool to part-ner with other ministries andbecome something biggerthan ourselves, which is al-ways good to do.”
However, Brewer addedthat he wants the message ofhope to be taken home fromTuesday’s concert.
“Our whole goal is thatwe want to convey there isstill hope in the world,” he
said. “It can be a very hope-less time; from Ferguson toISIS and everything in ournation, it can be hard to findhope. Our whole goal is totell people there is hope andthere is a ‘Reset’ that canbring people back to findingreal hope, freedom and joy.”
Klinger added that every-thing LifeLight does is veryfamily focused.
“There are a lot of hurtingkids that come to these con-certs that find hope and,hopefully, are directed downa better path in their life,”she said. “We take our kidsand go to a lot of thing thatdon’t have a good messagebehind it just because it isfun, but you are going to goto something fun and getsomething possibly lifechanging out of this. That iswhy we like families to bethere all together.”
She added that the mes-sage that Brewer will share isvery inspiring.
“Josh is very young andvery appealing, and his storyis very powerful,” she said.“He just has a heart for thekids; he loves to be out theretalking to them using his lifestory to help them realizeanyone can be loved by God.If you are a parent and yourkids are going through strug-gles, you probably wantthem at this event.”
Tickets for the “Reset”Tour are still available bygoing to www.lifelight.org orthey can be purchased lo-cally at Pizza Ranch, MountMarty College, First Assem-bly of God Church and theCarpenter Shop. Tickets willbe available at the doors,which will open at 6 p.m.,with the concert starting at 7p.m.

Reset Tour Coming To YanktonPIERRE — Gov. Dennis
Daugaard says the stateBoard of Water and NaturalResources has approved a$1.57 million Drinking WaterState Revolving Fund loan toTyndall for drinking waterdistribution and storage up-grades.
Also, Lesterville as re-ceived a $53,000 fundingpackage for a water meter re-placement project.
The loan includes$200,000 in principal forgive-ness, which leaves $1.37 mil-lion for loan repayment. Loanterms are 2.25 percent for 30years.
The loan will be adminis-tered through the Depart-ment of Environment andNatural Resources.
The project involves re-placing the city’s existingwater tower with a new200,000-gallon water storagetank and replacing existingcast iron and asbestos con-crete pipe with PVC pipe.
The loans will cover theestimated cost of the project.
The Lesterville project in-volves replacing the town’s
water meters with remote-read water meters. Lester-ville has been experiencingwater loss in its drinkingwater distribution system.The new meters will help thetown more accurately moni-tor water use and evaluatewater losses.
The Drinking Water StateRevolving Fund Program pro-vides low-interest loans forpublic drinking water systemprojects. Principal forgive-ness is a subsidy option thatresults in a reduced loan re-payment amount for the bor-rower.
The Consolidated WaterFacilities Construction Pro-gram, funded in part by rev-enues from the sale of lottotickets, provides grants andloans for water, wastewaterand watershed projects. TheLegislature appropriatesWater and EnvironmentFunds annually to the Con-solidated program throughthe Governor’s OmnibusWater Funding Bill.
