friends. here we are. passed the halfway point of this tour and that is a sad, sad thought. but let’s not get ahead of ourselves! there’s still some time left. the overnight drive into fayetteville, north carolina was….wow….11 hours, emerging on a ridiculously beautiful day at the crown arena. sunshine, balmy weather and a hockey rink. the quintessential canadian breakfast.
what an incredible opportunity to be a part of this tour! the sense of community, enjoying each and every set (that i get time to watch), bob’s intense message, executed with prose and perfection, and the chance to meet and hang with new faces. i know a lot of the blogs have touch on these points, i just can’t help but agree with them.
if you haven’t made it to a show, come out!!
thanks again for all of your prayers and hope to see you soon.

You guys rocked last night!!! It was a well needed experience because of the stressful time I am going through right now.
Ijust wanted to say that your concert last night was absolutely the best christian concert ever it moved me alot and i had fun at the same time so thank you guys very much cant wait for the creation festival in washington!
What a great show. I brought about half of our teens. The rest wanted to come but their parents didn’t allow them because it was a school night and our trip was around 100 miles each way.
The Lord has truly blessed each of you with your abilities and God Bless You All for using them to reach and motivate all the youth and adults alike. Continue to allow the Holy Spirit work through each of you and keep you motivated.
The experiance wore my kids out. At the end, they were just hanging on while this old “Geezer” of a youth leader (49) was still rocking out! Believe me, I let them hear it. lol.
The only thing I was dissapointed about was the crowd turnout. I really don’t think it was publicized very well by local entities. I know everyone involved with this great tour had to be a little dissapointed. None-the-less, everyone did a great job and worked very hard to entertain us.
The music was truly inspiring from every band/performer, but Bob, I really enjoyed your touching and inspiring message.
Finally, I’d like to say that I really enjoyed my conversation with the young lady in the Fireflight booth. I didn’t even get her name, but she told me she is married to a band member. We talked about a few things, including how important this is for the kids. My favorite conversation however, was about knitting and crocheaing???. As silly as it sounds, it brought back a fond memory for me that I hadn’t thought of for a long time.
God Bless you all.
that was the best concert i’ve ever been to IN MY LIFE!!! keep spreading the christian music around!!!
Got to see the last show of the tour in Corpus last night. AWESOME!!!!
The pranks were hilarious! And the music was incredible!
I agree with Joe, this wasn’t really publicized well, at least not in this area. I only found out about it cause my friends and I were looking into going to Creation East and I happened to see an ad for the tour. Attendance was no where near where we expected it to be, but I must say, the crowd that was there was awesome! So many young kids worshipping! What a great sight
Please do this again in the future!
God bless!

I went to this concert and it was really awesome i loved it. I hopw you come back for ‘09 cause it will be awesome; you should bring Flyleaf and Thousand Foot Krutch
I just wanted to thank you guys and girls for bringing the tour to Fayetteville, NC November 2008. I regret that more folks did not turn out. I guess some folks around here really did not want their children going out on a school night and cost of tickets combined might have been too much. But, I was there with two teenagers from the youth group and man did we have a great time and bet blessed. With your tour coming to Fayetteville, NC and earlier concerts at different venues I was able to see my all-star line-up of favorite Christian Rock bands. Disciple, Kutless, Pillar, Fireflight, and More. So thank you for being a part of fulfilling my prayers to see these groups in my hometown. I hope you come back in 2009. What can I do to help promote the event? Fayetteville needs to know that Jesus loves them and that He is the “King of Rock and Roll” he invented the ‘Rolling Stone’. Thank you so much and God Bless everyone.
