Dear Friend,

Have you ever wondered what Heaven is like? This October 26th, experience Heaven on Earth with John Burke and the Rev1211 Orchestra!

Imagine, for a moment, being with hundreds of people from different tribes, tongues, and nations. The most beautiful worship music with intricate harmonies surrounds every person in the room. The presence of Jesus is so thick that it rests like a blanket upon every heart. Then, the stories begin: a young girl who visited Heaven at age three shares about seeing angels giving children piggyback rides and a baby lamb sleeping next to a huge lion; a man in his 70s shares about his near-fatal heart operation where he was held like a baby by Jesus while counting the stars on His crown; Akiane shares about her encounters with Heaven that led her on a mission to paint the unseen realm. As stories play out on the screens and in the room, dancers encapsulate bringing Heaven to Earth while the worship unfolds.

Belóved Gala’s immersive performance is a 360-degree worship experience that brings Heaven to Earth by inspiring faith through art. Guests will have an intimate gospel experience, participating in song, story, prayer, and community alongside the performers. As part of the experience, guests can share their stories, showing how we can all participate in bringing Heaven to Earth.

Early bird prices have been extended to July 31st. Purchase your sponsorship package and tickets today!

Ramy Antoun is the producer for Belóved Gala’s immersive experience and the founder of Rev1211. Antoun, the son of a producer and pianist, was given a snare drum at three years old. By age seven, he played in his father’s band and never looked back. His roster of credits includes the Black Eyed Peas, Seal, Pat Benatar, Paul Oakenfold, and Ed Kowalczyk (formerly of the band LIVE). As a producer and songwriter, Antoun has track credits on hit television shows and movies such as Matchstick Men, Crazy Beautiful, and The OC. Antoun is also a World Vision artist and served as the Creative Arts Pastor at Gateway Church in Austin, Texas.

“Rev1211 was not by my design or mission. It was all an accident, I thought until I realized it was all by God’s design and mission. It’s how I most experience Heaven on Earth. You’ll have to attend the Gala to hear the full story. None of it makes human sense…only God sense!”

John Burke is the New York Times bestselling author of Imagine Heaven and Imagine the God of Heaven, along with four other books. For over 35 years, Burke has researched over 1,000 cases of near-death experiences and writes on their correlation to the Bible. As a pastor and international speaker, Burke has addressed over 100,000 people in 30 countries on leadership, spiritual growth, and the exhilarating life to come. He and his wife, Kathy, founded the multi-site Gateway Church in Austin, Texas, which he led for 26 years. He also helped equip hundreds of young leaders nationwide in church planting. Currently, John and Kathy are focusing on their writing outreach ministry as they seek to spread God’s love across the world.

“These millions of near-death experiences overlap and are pointing to the God who has revealed Himself through scripture. I believe God is giving increased testimony of His reality and His goodness….because I think it tells of the hope of Heaven. And we need hope.”

John Burke was a recent guest on episode 111 of The Shawn Ryan Show, a program known for exploring a wide range of topics and featuring guests from various facets of society, culture, and current events. Hear more about how Burke’s work connects to faith.
