Oshkosh – A sea of mostly young bodies crowds the stage at the Sunnyview Expo Center.
Jon Micah Sumrall, frontman for the band Kutless, takes the microphone and atop a bone-rattling bass exhorts the throng "to know that you’re alive." And they go wild – jumping, dancing, arms pumping in the air.
From the look and sounds of this hard-playing, leather-clad, pierced and tattooed band, this could be any rock concert anywhere. But these fans are here as much for the message as the music.
