The sun was already rising over Lambs Canyon, Saturday morning, the 13th of September, 2014, as the men and families of
His Voice traveled into sunny San Jacinto Valley. Not so many years before, stagecoaches filled with eager travelers followed the same route descending into the fertile valley where the ancient Soboba Cahuilla tribes stood in the shadow of the majestic 10,833 feet high Mount San Jacinto. The well traveled trail would eventually connect the high speed freeways of Interstates I-10 and I-15 linking Hemet with Riverside and San Diego's growing metropolises.
This late summer day, Director Michael Naluai and his men of
His Voice shared the Gospel of Christ with four local communities throughout a very hot day: The Seventh-day Adventist Church morning worship hour, Manor Care and Emeritus of Hemet afternoon concert sings, and Cornerstone Church vespers.
Below are some photos capturing the Spirit and Grace of that Sabbath day.

"There'll be light in the sky from the palace on high
When I come to the end of the road . . .
When the long day is ended, the journey is o'er.
I shall enter that blessed abode,
and the Saviour I love, will be waiting for me,
When I come to the end of the road."
