It's not about the music

This past week, August 2nd - 8th, our team was a little different. Jon, founder and director, and his wife Mimi, our pianist, had to leave us temporarily to do some preparation work for our Homecoming. So in their place Tennyson joined the team. He is an assistant leader who plays the trumpet. He had to not only be the director but also the pianist.

So this past week the songs weren't perfect. We had to use some instrumental tracks for a few songs that were too difficult for Tennyson. But each night we saw God working through us. We had 8 people make a first time decision to follow Christ, 5 people rededicate their life, and countless other prayers! Praise God!

It's not about the music, or about our abilities. It is really about us giving what we have - a lot or a little. We have to continue our tour now without Mimi, but that doesn't mean we can't minister. We will just be doing it in a different way.

As our tour is coming to an end, please pray that we would stay focused on the ministry. It is hard to not think about what you are going to do when you get home, who you are going to see, what you are going to do with your time, etc etc. Instead we need to stay focused on what God wants us to do now.

Also pray for strength, joy, and Gods provision as we finish our ministry. God is so Good!
