Music in Bloom 2025:Another Night of Music, Mission & Christian Fellowship
It has been a whirlwind of a year for ASON International. Shortly after returning from our mission trip to Ghana—while still processing the emotional impact of that journey and integrating all those experiences—we had less than three weeks to finalize preparations for our annual Music in Bloom event. Thankfully, most of the logistics had been nailed down before we left for Ghana, allowing us to focus on the final details upon our return. This event could not have come together without the incredible dedication of Mark Seitter and Tim Harden, who coordinated the music with worship leaders from several churches, and Sandy Gillespie, who orchestrated the catering, decorations, and sponsor recruitment. Their leadership and commitment were an enormous blessing to ASON, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
As with any large event, securing a venue was one of the biggest challenges. We were incredibly grateful that Eau Gallie First Baptist Church, which hosted the inaugural event, welcomed us back for another year. Since many members of the congregation were already familiar with ASON from last year, we were blessed with an outpouring of volunteers who helped as greeters, assisted in the kitchen, stocked the buffet, and helped with setup and teardown. This was a game-changer compared to the previous year when much of this fell solely on our team. Their passion and willingness to serve made an immense difference. Another major concern was ensuring solid attendance, and we are thrilled to share that we grew from 80 attendees last year to 120 this year—a testament to the growing support for our mission!
One significant difference this year was the generous support of three corporate sponsors, which allowed us to professionally cater the event instead of relying on volunteers to prepare the food. A huge thank you to Christian Brothers Automotive, Pangea Tech, and Card Connect Prestige for making this possible! Their generosity not only enhanced the event but also lifted a tremendous burden from our team. We encourage you to check out these businesses and support them as they have supported us.
A special shout-out goes to Eau Gallie’s technical team, who did a phenomenal job producing the event. Every musical performance and testimony was captured and is now available on a YouTube playlist for you to experience or revisit. We would love for you to be part of the 3rd annual Music in Bloom next year! If our mission and projects resonate with you, please consider supporting ASON International financially—we cannot do this without you.
From the bottom of our hearts, Ellen and I want to personally thank you for being an integral part of ASON International’s second annual Music in Bloom. Whether you contributed as a supporter, sponsor, musician, or volunteer, your generosity and dedication made this event possible, and we are deeply grateful.
It is because of people like you that Music in Bloom continues to grow and make a meaningful impact. We pray that you and your loved ones are abundantly blessed with good health, joy, and prosperity.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. See you next year at Music in Bloom 2026!
