All we can say is wow. We are 3 days into the tour and are blown away with how well it has started. The months of planning and preparation are totally paying off. After doing 2 nights of worship already, we have experienced 0 technical glitches. The sound company, Soundscapes, headed up by Lang Holland, has been a dream to work with. It is a new experience for us to be touring with a sound crew. We are normally at the mercy of the house sound at the venue or church that we go to. It’s mind blowing to show up at a venue, and just plug in. All the levels are already set, the monitors are perfect and we can just get to work. Love it. Getting spoiled to it. Want them to be with us everywhere! Our fellow musicians can definitely feel us on this one! Now, let’s talk about the actual nights of worship. In a nutshell, God has shown up, people have experienced freedom in worship and many have been saved. It is so awesome to see different age groups of people abandon themselves and worship Jesus with all their hearts. Both young and old have convinced their feet to leave this earth during ‘I Wanna Dance’! “… It’s biblical. So don’t be critical. Can’t hold it in. You shouldn’t have to”. We have mainly been doing songs from the new record, but we’ve snuck in a few from the last one. In Destin, we got into ‘Open Up The Sky’ (not in the set list) and it went great. The response to the new song, ‘Refuge’, has been tremendous. We have shown the “song story” for it both nights so far, and people are totally connecting with the heart and message of the song. Also, Ms. Evie James Stockstill has joined us on stage to emphasize how faithful our God is and that He is still a miracle worker! If you don’t know the story behind “Refuge’, check out our Unshakable EPK. It explains it all. Something else really cool on the tour so far, Melissa Stockstill, Jonathan’s sister, has been playing the harp with us during worship. The harp is such a unique sound to add to a typical worship set. It totally brings a classical influence to our modern sound. The people have been blown away by it. You just don’t see a professional harpist everyday. We were honored to have Pastor Larry Stockstill speak last night in Destin. He told the people that they all have a calling on their lives, and that God wants to use them in a special and unique way. Many people came forward to be saved and ministered to. It was awesome!
Well, we are currently in Destin, FL, about to head to Pensacola to do a night of worship at Brownsville Assembly of God. We are looking forward to another amazing night of glorifying our King and seeing people set free from whatever bondages are holding them back. Please pray for our continued safety as we travel, and that God will continue to lead us every night.
Until then,
Deluge
