Det er nu lidt over 3 uger siden, at vi fejrede vores 50 år jubilæum med en forrygende koncert og fest for Kefas kormedlemmer gennem årene. Vi har nu fået kigget nogle af vores billeder fra koncerten igennem, og I får her nogle stemningsbilleder fra et fantastisk minde.

Tine Sloth Bruun har sendt følgende billeder fra en koncert i 2007.

Tine skriver: “Jeg faldt lige over billeder fra en koncert i 2007, som jeg var publikum til. Husker ikke hvor. – Det er ikke fantastiske billeder, men jeg kan da genkende nogle ansigter :-)”

Er der nogen, som ved hvor det er fra?

Det er med stor taknemlighed, at vi kigger tilbage på vores jubilæumsfejring d. 25. okt. 2025. Taknemlighed til et engageret publikum til koncerten og for alle de gamle kormedlemmer, som var mødt op til fejring og reunion. Og ikke mindst tak til Peter Steinvig og hans familie, som var mødt talstærkt op. Vi er glade for, at vi kunne hædre Peter for alt det, som han har betydet for Kefas gennem årene. Det var fantastisk som kor at synge til jer alle og formidle det gode budskab.

Hello Helene. Awe  I would have loved to be a part of this great celebration! I often talk about the years that I was granted to share with you all. This is such a milestone and a blessing to reach this moment. You all also play a key role in who I have become as a man and as a Pastor today. I miss you all so much and I pray continued success for your ministry. I love all of you so much Forever Family,

Hello Kefas Gospel Choir!

I want to congratulate you on seeing 50 years of singing together, travelling the world, pioneering gospel music in Denmark. It’s a very, very big deal. I am truly, truly grateful to be a part of your history. I am truly grateful that I met Peter Steinvig and the choir back in 1996, when I was 16 years old. I believe you were doing a tour in the UK with Priscilla Jones-Campbell, and you were invited to our church, and that was the first time I got to meet Peter and the choir, and it was a really wonderful experience for me. I remember there were a few faces that I met at the end of the concert, and their smiles and bright eyes and the conversations that we had, they really stayed with me at the age of 16.

I am truly grateful for Peter Steinvig that he saw something  in me that he felt he could use, and I am truly grateful that he took me under his wing and invited me to Denmark to do work with the choir and also a lot of work with him. Peter is definitely a role model for me, a great man, a man of integrity, a man that I trust and I learnt a lot from. We had some amazing times together travelling to different countries and doing gospel workshops. He introduced gospel music to a lot of different cities and different countries. He is an amazing man, and to have him as the foundation of Kefas and to know all that he has invested into the choir, not just musically but also spiritually. His dream I believe was not just to build an amazing sounding choir but also to teach about relationship with God, and whenever we went to do workshops, I loved that he carried that. It wasn’t just about the music, it was about the message of Jesus Christ. I encourage you to continue that. Another thing I loved about working with Peter was that he always had such a warm welcome and smile for people, he was always joking around. Even though he was quite a bit older than me, sometimes I felt that I was quite mature because we really got along, or maybe he was a little bit younger than what his actual age was, because we had some great conversations, great banter. But he was warm and loving to everyone, he had time for everyone, and I also encourage you, choir, to continue that, not just to have smiles when you are on stage, but when you come off stage continue to smile and share love with those that you are ministering to and singing to. There so much that I would say. Peter has valuable lessons, treasures that Peter has given to us, and I pray that we continue to remember that, remember the heart of where the gospel choir started and remind each other of the heart of the choir and continue to share that. And I pray that as you share that – of course, quality music, the truth of Jesus Christ and also that love with others. I pray that you’ll continue to see many more years together. God bless you! I thank you for the friendship, and I wish I could be there!

Sending you lots of love – Ruth

I anledning af vores 50 års jubilæum har vi fået nogle af vores korsangere til at fortælle om oplevelser og hvordan de kom med i Kefas. Hør eller læs mere her i vores jubilæumsblog. Beklager at lydkvaliteten ikke er den bedste, da det er optaget live til vores korprøver.

Dette er kun den sidste halvdel af Helenes fortælling, men her er nogen highlights:

Helene startede for 32 år siden, hvor hun mødte Peter Steinvig. Dette skulle vise sig at være livsforvandlende, da hun både kom med i Kefas og blev en del af Copenhagen Gospel Festival. Som Helene siger har det været fantastisk at være medarbejder for nogen med visioner.
