“Our booking, which was a family night program, went extremely well. It left us thanking God for that experience. We learned not to take the wonderful programs for granted. The first time we gave autographs really showed us that what we say, how we act, and the manner in which we minister really do speak for us. That is what people see. We may be the only Jesus for someone. What better feeling than knowing something you did changed their views, or even their lives?”

“…It was then that God truly showed Himself to me, actually, I allowed myself to see Him. My teammates really stepped up and everyone started to expand their duties to help our team on the road. Rebecca learned the bass, a gift she never knew was there. Sarah learned the keyboard, with prior knowledge she never thought she’d use. Patrick, who plays every instrument known to man, came out from behind those drums. Adam. Who has an amazing voice, started to sing more. Oh, and I have learned a couple songs here and there on the keys, drums, and bass.
 
It is amazing to me that God gave my team all of these talents and we never in a million years thought they were the talents we were called to team to use. This experience so far has opened my eyes to see that God is in control and we are not. He had this is our plan all along.
 
Thank you to family, friends, fellow teamers and the office for their prayers and support.”
