Petra, Phil Keaggy, and More Perform at Benefit Show for Music Veteran's Deceased Son
Some of Christian music's most well known performers, Phil Keaggy, Petra, Michael Omartian, Rick Cua and more, recently performed at "Sene-fit"--A Concert Of Love For The Seneffs at Belmont Church on Music Row.
The concert took place in memory of Joel Seneff, the 24-year-old son of veteran Christian music industry attorney Greg Seneff and his wife, Cheryl. Joel was killed on July 23 in a tragic motorcycle accident. Proceeds from the benefit concert went toward expenses for the family due to the accident accident.
"Cheryl, Greg (Jr.) and I have been, and continue to be, overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, prayers and support we have received since the moment we heard that Joel had been in an accident," said Greg Seneff Sr in a press release. "When our dear friend, Brian Mason, told us about the idea of having the concert, I was speechless. I still am. Of course, the death of Joel has torn our hearts--and the hearts of everyone who knew him--in two. I am beginning to realize, however, how God uses tragedy and pain, friendship and love, to heal us. Our family is now much bigger--an extended family of those who loved Joel, and we cherish the times we get to love on them. To the men and woman who blessed us through the concert, those who worked behind the scenes, those who attended and donated online, we can only thank them from the deepest part of our hearts. There are no words adequate to really express our appreciation."
