BOSSIER CITY – Christian Contemporary artist Jeremy Camp is coming to Bossier City April 21 for his “I Will Follow Tour.”
A Dove award-winning and Grammy nominated artist, Camp has garnered 37 No. 1 radio hits during his career. With a career that has seen him on tour in more than 32 countries, Camp said on his website that he is a “minister who happens to play music as a way to minister.”
Away from the music stage, Camp has experienced his own set of heartaches. At age 21, Camp lost his first wife to cancer and a baby to miscarriage with his current wife, Adrienne.
Camp said the first song “He Knows” off his latest record is one God used to bring him comfort from his past.
“When I sat down with this record, I just said, God, ‘I feel like I still have a song pertaining to all that. Just give me wisdom,’” he said. “I was drawn to the Hebrews 4:15 scripture where it says that we have a high priest that can empathize with our weaknesses. Jesus Christ is our high priest. Jesus is my everything.
“The whole concept of the song is saying, Listen, in the midst of all these pains and wounds that may come up, He knows,” Camp continued. “Christ knows every single thing. We have to come to that peace and that rest of just going ‘Okay, God, you know who I am. Where can I go from your presence? You’re everywhere. You know every part of me. And you know, you’ve been through it.’ And so I think that for me, that is the greatest comfort.”
The concert April 21 begins at 7 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Bossier City. Accompanying Camp will be Citizen Way.
“First Bossier is really excited to host Jeremy Camp Friday night after Easter,” said Brad Jurkovich, pastor of First Bossier. “Citizen Way will be with him. This is a great event for people to be encouraged in the faith and to share the hope of Jesus with our region.”
