INDY WINTERFEST

Ok, people.  We are back from the Indiana Winterfest, and may I just say, "It was amazing!!!"  God moved in a ridiculously powerful way, and lives were changed right there in front of our very eyes.  It was truly a privilege to get to minister on a stage like that.  Ok, so here's the recap:

Friday -
We left that morning, thankfully 2 hours early.  On the way there, I hit an enormous pothole and blew out my two right hand side tires.  So, for about an hour and a half, we had to fix the flats, leaving us just enough time to get there right on time for our 2:00 sound check.  We get there (just in time), and we hit the stage.  The lighting and sound team were great!  They hooked us up and everything went very smoothly.  Friday night comes around, and we play our first set:  Our God, Commission My Soul, Tear Down The Walls, and Beautiful Exchange.  The kids were worshiping like crazy, and God really started moving in that place.  Then Pastor Lee takes the stage and just brings an incredible word from the Lord.  Very proud to have a Godly man like him as my pastor.  The night ended with a powerful altar call and kids giving their hearts to the Lord.  We then went to P.F. Changs (my favorite Chinese restaurant ever!). 

Saturday -
With a little communication on my part, we thought we were to be on stage at 10:50.  In reality, we were supposed to be there at 10:05.  Josh barely made it on stage, but got there literally right as we were supposed to start playing.  It was pretty sweet.  We began our set and played Rain Down, You, Yahweh, I Will Exalt You, Love Like Fire, and You Are For Me.  Worship was powerful, and then Chris Gilbert preached a word that went right along with everything that Pastor Lee preached the night before (tell me that's not God).  We stayed around Saturday night to hear our new friends, The Cast and Crew, tear it up on stage.  Then Eddie James began his portion of the evening, and God started moving and setting people free from all kinds of bondage.  It was one of the most powerful services that I have ever been a part of.  After a long night, we headed back to Lexington, thankful for what God did that weekend and excited for the next Winterfest to come. 

Keep praying for us.  As we continue to minister in this capacity and God continues to open doors for us, there will be more attacks against us, but it is only encouragement to know that we are doing what we are called to do.  We will continue to bring hope to those who are lost and far from God, and nothing will stand in our way of that!
