Well back to work we go! We had a few days off in Nashville, some call it rest, some call it work at home, but needless to say we had off. So pulling in this morning was not the most exciting thing, we woke up and saw frost! I know the north is used to it already but coming from Nashville it was a rude awakening. Once we got over the cold weather we made our way into the venue which was Grove city’s Church of the Nazarene.
After we all got our cups of coffee in we got the ball rolling. Taping was the big topic today, we actually made a video about it. Taping is one of the production assistants jobs and it consist of pink tape and a sharpie. Basically the point of the tape is to make arrows and direct crew and bands to dressing rooms, catering, showers, etc… So make sure you go to VideoRocket (http://www.videorocket.com/Creationtour/1723879) to check out that video so you can further understand taping.
Everything was going great once the show started until the third band was on stage. Mid way through there set our monitor tech, Tom, slipped on some stairs and seriously injured his ankle! We had a few people to step up to the plate at the last minute to help him out and fill his shoes, not literally! But we got Tom to the hospital and the show went on!
Bobs message was very powerful tonight and lead about 50 plus kids to the Lord. Not only did they raise their hands for the altar call, they followed through with their promise and went to a separate room for more prayer and ultimately that’s what this tour is all about, bringing kids to Jesus!
Keep us in your prayers as we travel to Rochester, NY tonight, and make sure to come to one of the remaining dates!
Thanks for the great time last night in Grove City, OH. My ears are still ringing a bit, but the sound, video, and message were all excellent. Have a great rest of the tour!
Our group had a great time at the show in Grove City! Bob’s message and all of the bands were completely amazing! I’m sorry to hear about Tom’s hurt ankle, but hopefully it will heal quickly! The Church of the Nazarene was absolutely beautiful. Although your description of the weather made it sound like you were in the North Pole instead of the Mid-West, it was actually about 70 degrees and a super gorgeous day. Our group even went camping after the show (I guess Buckeyes are a bit more resilient than the Creation Group
I’ll give you a pass on the slight lack of enthusiasm on this stop. I’m sure being on the road can sometimes be quite challenging. Just so you know, everyone who attended had a great time! We definitely appreciate the dedication and hard work of everyone who made it possible. The positive impact on some of the kids (including some in our group) was overwhelming and as you said, bringing kids to Jesus is what it’s all about … thank you so much for making that possible! May the rest of your Creation journey be smooth sailing. By the way, if you get cold again, just pick up some long underwear at a local department store.
