By Violet Kelley – Farmington, New Mexico … The Piñon Hills Adventist Church welcomed classical violinist Jaime Jorge for a special Friday night vespers program. During the February 18 vespers, Jorge shared his life testimony and performed several inspiring musical selections from his “Healing Music” concert tour.
At the age of ten, Jorge and his family immigrated to Wisconsin from Cuba. The local Adventist church assisted his family with blankets, coats, boots, heaters, furniture, food, and an old turntable with eight classical vinyl records to enjoy during their first winter in Milwaukee. The vinyl records helped spark an interest in classical music for Jorge.
Listening to the concert was an “inspiring way to start the Sabbath in a very special way,” said Mike Kissner, Piñon Hills interim lead pastor. Former Union College music graduate and Piñon Hills member Shannon Bramblett agrees with Kissner, saying, “Jaime plays from his heart” and can reach others for God through their hearts.
Jorge explained that he prefers to focus on his “Healing Music” ministry to reach young people worldwide with three different youth conservatories located in Tennessee, Nicaragua, and Cuba. He added that the goal of his “Healing Music” tour is to get people back into the church, to allow the Holy Spirit to work in people’s lives, and to let God bless them.
The Piñon Hills church thoroughly enjoyed Jorge’s concert and life testimony and would like to encourage other churches to reach out to Jaime Jorge and invite him.
