FBC La Porte

The coolest thing about the evening was the relationships that were built b/t us and the leaders of the student ministry.  Bryan, the youth pastor, Micah and Mark, who were lay leaders in the church as well as leaders in the FCA.  We have never experienced this type of fellowship from a group of men.  They set up lights, pulled down speakers, set up a stage, set up a back drop, setup a greenroom, arranged drinks and a couple of fruit baskets to be delivered.  They hung up a cross, helped with our PA setup, helped w/ sound check, and helped setup all the media stuff.  You guys, if you read this, thank you for showing us the love of Christ.  We're just a small band that's only on the 4th concert of the tour and all ready feeling the weight of all the travel stuff.  Thanks for the encouragement.

 

Had a really good time in the concert.....I think Cliff was really feeling it....did some pretty crazy fast stuff towards the end.  Of course, Matthew did great, even w/ glass in his foot!  I'm still struggling to find the sound and volume from the amp.  I picked up a Fender deluxe on the way there, and it was certainly plenty loud enough, though way too jangly.  I still need to work w/ the settings.

 

For the students at FBC LaPorte, I applaud you for bringing your friends to hear the Gospel.  Sometimes, as we grow in our faith, it's hard to muster up the courage to teach our friends.  It's even hard to give them something to watch or read.   Bringing them to church is the next best thing (as long as they don't die while they're waiting for the event!)  Keep growing in Christ!  Stick your nose in the Bible everyday and obey what you read.

 

Answered prayers

• Matthew found a really nice drum kit, at a really nice price!  That's something we've been praying for.
• We're up on itunes now....thought that would never happen.

Prayer request

• I can find the right sound and settings on the amp so our sound will come together.
• CD Sales to pick up (especially on-line)
