We enjoyed two great worship experiences this past Sunday! Our concert at Legacy Baptist Church in Dallas, Georgia, went incredibly well. I was joined by my good friend,
Brad Nix, on piano and keys… by Tony Harris on piano and keys, and by his sons, Justin and Jamison on bass and drums, respectively. All of these guys are incredibly gifted musicians and having the opportunity to play with a live band that was REALLY good was just a blast! Kimberly joined me on one song which was extra special to me as it was our seventh anniversary. Brad and I wrote a new song called “Invisible” on Thursday night (finished it on Saturday afternoon) and we played it in both shows on Sunday… went really well both times. We actually attempted to record it last night in a studio… we’ll see how much of the recording actually makes it to the final cut. I will try to have it available as a download pretty soon (speaking of which… downloads of each cut off of the new album are now available through Digstation.com … head to the music section to find them). CDs and T-shirts sold well at Legacy and the love offering that was taken up far exceeded my expectations.
We then played a much more intimate show for the wonderful members of FBC-Hiram. We didn’t have a full band for this concert, but I was again joined by Brad and his brother-in-law, Jess Twilley, on bass. Our wonderful friend, Casey Ewen, who had flown in from Colorado to be with us for the weekend also shared with the congregation the things that God is doing in her life right now… if you ever have a chance to hear her speak, you should count yourself fortunate. Once again, the love offering that was given at this church just astounded me! God is so good!
Unfortunately, our Youth worship service at FBC-Dallas was cancelled yesterday morning because their church decided to participate in a community revival service. This has left us in a bit of a frantic bind as we are trying to find another location in which to minister. God is in control of this, though, and was from the start. I can only believe that the revival is going to go incredibly well!
A quick story to leave you with… after the concert at Legacy Baptist, Kimberly was stationed at the merchandise table when a young girl (about ten years old) walked up and handed her a $10 bill for a CD. Kimberly thanked her and the girl then proceeded to pull out a small Ziploc bag that was filled with change (over three dollars, in fact) and the girl said “and this is for your ministry.” When Kimberly recounted this to me, I couldn’t control the tears… what a blessing this little girl gave us!
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support! Photos from all of this trip will be coming once we return home are now in the Photos section!
