Master's Touch, a hula ministry of Olivet Baptist Church, went on tour with Randy & Gay Hongo to Kentucky & Illinois for 20 days during July 2007. This blog was created to provide friends and family a way to follow the group during their tour.

Master's Touch performed an Hawaiian choral piece, "E Ala E" written by Pualani Kanaka‘ole Kanahele and Joe Camacho. The anthem was sung by the choir of Olivet Baptist Church on Easter Sunday. This is one of the dances which will be shared during the upcoming concert tour.
