We pulled into the auditorium to load in about 8:30am. It was a foggy trip but most of did not know it because we were asleep. A really neat historic auditorium that reminded us of the Trenton War Memorial building where we held a ton of concerts in the early years of Come Alive. Jeff, the promoter has a great heart and loves kids.
We had a couple of guys protesting the concert with sandwich signs saying we were an abomination and workers of iniquity. I was proud of our guys who (with a sense of humor) talked with them <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8_HknD6_XY>. Jesus said, “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” Matt.5:44
The bands were really having fun tonight and shared their faith. Pastor Harry gave the word and there was a good response. He also shared about Compassion. KJ-52 really did a great job as MC. This crowd was really into the entire evening – having fun, worshipping, responding to the Word. Great night! Thank you Jesus. Loading will finish somewhere between 1:00am and 2:00am and we will drive to Cullman, AL We appreciate everyone’s prayers for the tour. God is good!
Thanks for coming to WV last night! I had a blast as I’m sure everyone else who attended did as well. Hope the rest of the tour goes well!
