On April 5, Camp Shiloh Lutheran Retreat will host a missionary concert.
Stephen Bautista is from Las Vegas, Nev., and a full-time Christian Music Missionary that seeks to “enlighten the lost and encourage the found” with his original, Christ-centered music.  Listeners have described Mr. Bautista as having a similar musical and vocal style to that of James Taylor, but with lyrics that convey a solid Gospel message.
He tours the country with his wife, their seven “roadschooled” children, and a 125-pound dog, living in a travel trailer they pull behind a Chevy Express van.
Mr. Bautista has two Nashville-produced CDs available for purchase at his concerts and worship services. His music is also available online at www.StephenBautistaMusic.com, iTunes, Amazon, and most other online outlets.
Offerings will be taken at the concert.
