We Are Messengers Debut Release

They Have Created A Special Delivery!

      There is a vulnerability that comes through in Christian music where you can discern if the message is authentic in the creation or not.  Before knowing any of the history behind lead singer Darren Mulligan, Glorified Pitstop caught We Are Messengers opening up the pre-jam session at the The Winter Jam Tour last month in Cincinnati, Ohio.

      I picked up a genuine spirit of restoration in their delivery that night and it's no wonder after learning where God has brought him from why that radiates out of their performance.  Darren met his wife Heidi over a decade ago on the streets of their homeland in Ireland.  His early love of American rock and roll lead him on a spiritually broken journey chasing a dream in the industry as a heavy metal guitarist travelling throughout the United States.  

     Though he left his girlfriend of several years that he loved behind, seeking his passion for music on the run, she patiently waited for him to return and little did he know that was God's plan for him all along.  While he was seeking fulfillment in heavy metal music, she found fulfillment in a relationship with Christ.  When she called to let him know of the joy she found in God he couldn't figure out why she sounded so happy while he felt so miserable. 

     Darren returned to Ireland shortly after that an atheist and asked Heidi to marry him.  Lo and behold three weeks before their wedding he had a life changing encounter with the Lord that began to transform him from the inside out. 

     "I felt so wretched, so dirty. I could feel my skin crawling. God seemed so real that night. He seemed so Holy. There was a huge chasm between Him and me. I could feel it- this crushing weight of guilt and conviction- so I gave my life to the Lord that night. It took me a few months of reading the Bible to really understand what I had done and what that meant. I fell in love with God over that period and gradually learned to see myself as He sees me- clean, a son of the King."

Members From Remission (2012-2014)

     Darren began doing small worship venues in Ireland with his band The Remission Flow, as well as releasing two albums on an independent label. Most of the members had full time jobs and just enjoyed going around and sharing the gospel as musicians. Miraculously they had a song land on the desk of A&R executive at Word Entertainment in a land far away in Franklin, Tennessee.

       After he was offered a major Christian label contract he and his wife packed up their three babies and stepped out in faith together once again reaching for a dream. The rock-n-roll fantasy had long ago faded and was now transformed into using his artistry to reach the lost and broken for Christ.  A life he himself used to live but by and through the grace of God had been set free and set on a course to shine a light wherever he could reach. 

     The Self-Titled debut album set to release on April 22, 2016 consists of fourteen tracks selected out of hundred or more Darren began to create after settling in Franklin with his family. Among those that made the cut is the opening track and currently thriving radio hit, Everything Comes Alive (video below). An exuberant testimony of the restoration that is birthed in our lives when God finds us at our lowest points and begins to transform our heart.

    Darren has come a long way from Ireland to share the passion he discovered in his gift many years ago.  I'm On Fire is a perfect anthem that shares the sentiment he found from the moment he fell in love with Jesus.  

"It still feels like I can't contain Him in my flesh, that I need to speak about Him.  He is a burning fire deep inside my bones." -Darren

     So often people think we give up our freedom when we surrender to Christ, only if they knew that's when we truly find it. Though it is difficult to explain to someone who has not experienced it for themselves; all we can do is try to shine that light bright enough for them to desire what we have found. Thankfully, the same way his wife did for him.

     I'm not sure if she is the one singing background with him on I Want You, but I'm pretty sure it is a reflection of their relationship. Chasing after all that matters now, going half-way across the globe together allowing themselves to dream. It's a very simplistically uplifting song that made me want to grab my husband and run off into a field of daisies dressed like hippies and dance hand in hand.  It stylistically reminded me of I Am They, who I have also come to know and love.  

    As you listen to this album, you will notice an eclectic sound as if a melting pot of Crowder, For King & Country, NeedtoBreathe and Jordan Feliz were tossed into a musical blender. However, this smoothie goes pretty deep into the lyrically poignant places of one's soul and can tug at some serious places of your heart. One may either remember being brought out of that place or currently seeking a way out of an emotional state of mind or stronghold.   

     Dancing In The Dark is a case in point which portrays where God finds most of us spiritually before we know Him. It's an earnest recognition of sinking into the dark shadows of one's heart and God coming into that place with you and sparking new life into your spirit to live again.  It's message is simplified in one verse, "Even the broken can dance in the light."  

     There are three similar messages about growth and surrender that are imploring to the spirit of God to stand in between the battle of flesh and spirit to defeat our old ways. My Ghost, Shadows and Giants Fall are all about walking through a personal journey of 11 Corinthians 5:17.  

     Many times after becoming a new creature in Christ the enemy will try to resurface by reminding you of the person you used be and try to pull you back, or make you feel unworthy. My Ghost stands up to that stronghold, while Shadows searches out the legitimate joy we find in an intimate relationship Christ walking in unwavering faith. Giants Fall solidifies that we cannot live by feelings but only through true surrender fighting a war only won on our knees. "Come wash me clean and set me free. I want to see these giants fall.  My arms are open in surrender, I wave my white flag high.  You alone are my Savoir, I want more than to survive."

     Magnify, Give It All,Wildfire and The River I will categorize as having an excellent vibe both melodically and lyrically. Though I believe this whole album will speak volumes to people on many different levels, for many I believe these will be among fan favorites.  The River is like a introspective testimony of realizing who one belongs to regardless of what anybody else says or does. A marker of confidence splashed across the canvas of one's soul being renewed.  "My soul is parched and my lips are dry. All I wanna taste are the rains from the sky.  Break through the swell, where the waters are deep. Where I can be free and I can be clean."   

     Magnify is a catchy mellow tune that carries the heart of a new believer to the next level.  The desire to silence everything within themselves that is not aligned with the spirit of of God. "Be greater than the worries in my life.  Be stronger than the weakness in my mind.  Be louder, let your Glory come alive, be magnified."  Followed by Give It All, which attributes the laying down of one's life to become a reflection of Christ to others. 

      If King David were to write a psalm today I believe it would be similar to Wildfire.  It's an exuberant plea for purification from the hand of God upon one's life.  "You're a wildfire, you are the one who lights up the dark with a furious love. Take my ashes and turn them to gold, sweep over me with a furious love." This song will get stuck in your head, be prepared for that. 

     Sometimes being a Christian means that others think that we have all the answers to life and the pains and heartache that comes with it.  Though none of us can give a reason for everything that happens we can be a hand to hold, a shoulder for them to cry on just be present with them in their time of sorrow.  

     There were many bands at Winter Jam this year that I love, but when this talented young man sang I Don't Have The Answers during offering I was floored. So many times I have encountered this heart wrenching emotion unable to find the words to say to those I love seeking reasoning when I could give them none. He gave such a raw performance that it ripped at some of the deepest  most sorrowful places of my heart.  It reminds us at times all we have to offer is the beacon of our love and friendship along with prayers for comfort during deep valley's of sorrow.  

     When things seem to be going well we can lose sight of where our help comes from when hard times surface.  I Look Up is about walking through the valley and holding to the promise that He is right there with us.  The peace that surpasses all understanding knowing that He suffered much more than we ever will and He will carry us through.  "Love is a man hanging on a tree, with His Heart pouring out for me. Love is a King watching over me and when I look up He is all I see."

     Point To You is hands down my personal favorite on the album. From the melody, to the lyrics and within the background singing on the chorus it's simply an amazing song. It's about how God wants us to come to Him exactly how we are no matter how hurt or broken or scarred His arms are open wide to begin the fulfillment of our soul. One of my favorite lines that really hit me the first time I heard it choked me up. "People say I've lost myself. I say I'm found in you. People ask, where does my story end. I say it starts with you." 

     We often listen to these bands and singers that we have come to love the music of without taking the time to learn about them or their testimony in their walk with Christ. I would suggest you Pre-Order your copy of their debut album because We Are Messengers are carrying spiritual mail right into your ears. Coming from a heart transformed through the light God shined through Darren's wife that brought him to the foot of cross, these songs will minister to your soul.
     
      Darren has much to be thankful for these days as he is now living his dream of being a musician but now he does it all for the glory of God. While celebrating life with his beautiful family and bride Heidi, who stood by his side long before God intervened in both of their hearts.  He has been travelling with the largest Christian music line up this year and Tour plans for the remainder of 2016 seem to continue to grow.  Let's all join together and lift them up in prayer as they are about the Father's business sharing their gift with the world.

     One of the missions we strive to accomplish is expressing the importance of sharing our testimonies with the world.  If you have a testimony you would like to share how God has impacted your life through We Are Messengers or any other Christian group please create a 2-5 minutes video testimony and share on our page.   It can also be how He ministered to you through a certain author, speaker or personal revelation of the mighty power of our Heavenly Father.  Remember someone's victory could be waiting on the other side of your obedience!

Winter Jam 2016

     Winter Jam has become one of the most highly anticipated Christian concerts to travel through the Country each year. Fans patiently wait to see whose names are added to the line up hoping to be able to catch their new favorite, or veteran performers.  

     This concert has always been formatted so that everyone can afford to bring friends to hear the message of hope found in Christ in the midst of jamming to some of their favorite tunes. First come first serve has sometimes created max occupancy in buildings causing some hopefuls to be turned away at the door.  One of the things you can do as a fan to guarantee entry and other benefits  is to become a member of Jam Nation. 

     We Are Messengers opened the early jam session performing Everything Comes Alive and I'm On Fire. This was my first exposure to them which means it probably was for a lot of other people attending the tour this year as well.  There was a genuine spirit of restoration that came through these guys who later during the offering performed one of my favorite songs of the night called I Don't Have The Answers. All three of these songs will be available on their upcoming album you can pre-order now. Check the video out below of their current Klove hit.

     Next to hit the stage was Stars Go Dim singing You Are Loved, Giants and Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow. They were very energetic and seemed to be having a lot of fun getting the audience involved in singing along with them.

     Christian Rap Artists KB and Trip Lee both brought a lot of base to the arena while sharing their faith in song and getting the crowd's blood pumping. Both of these guys have a strong fan base and neither fall short while giving God all they have on stage.  

     Throughout the evening while they were breaking down and putting up new sets a different artists from hosts Newsong, would take a few minutes out of the evening to share information about sponsors and charities that they support.  One of the things I seen at this concert, that I had not seen before, maybe simply due to seating, was that they had a section for the hearing impaired, which I thought was awesome.  

     Newsong of course took the stage and they always sound great but for some reason they sounded superb that evening to me.  Opening their set up with Hallelujah (Bride In White), followed by Russ Lee talking about how depressing the news can be sometimes and how when we look around to everything going on today it often makes us want to go home. That opened the gateway for for him to belt out Don't It Make You Wanna Go Home. 

     After performing an always electrifying Arise My Love they shared the importance of the body of Christ reaching out to the many orphans that need our help.  Below you can watch the video about why they share the outreach of such an important ministry in Holt International.

     The only female on the tour this year seemed to float onto the stage as she laid her heart out to the Father.  Lauren Daigle effortlessly invited everyone into an atmosphere of worship with her captivating vocals and lyrically moving song selections.  

     Opening her set with the chorus of It Is Well, leading right into one of her fan favorites, First and closing out with How Can It Be. No one can question the huge amount of passion and beautiful voice she carries around in such a small package.  I don't know how God fit that big of a gift in her but we all truly appreciate it.
  

     Sidewalk Prophets took the stage next, engaging the crowd with Prodigal off their latest album Something Different along with Live Like That and Words I would Say.  They also performed their rocking title track Something Different closing out a stellar set. Sadly after nine years this is the last tour that drummer Justin Nace will be joining them as he has shared with friends and fans.  We are all going to miss him but we need to keep them all in our prayers as they continue seeking God's plan.  

     These guys have built a name for themselves in the music industry and in the lives of people they have invested friendships in. Not only are they musically gifted but they have a way of reaching out to their fans that impacts them in a way that is difficult to put into words. On this tour especially, they have picked a fan out of line at each stop to join them on stage during their set to sing with them. At this time I would like to introduce you to Jennifer Nicole Brown who was one of the lucky one's picked to join them on stage. She took a few minutes to share her testimony of of how Winter Jam and Sidewalk Prophets have been a blessing to her.

     Pastor Tony Nolan has been one of the speakers travelling with Newsong for quite some time this year. We recently attended the Xtreme Winter Conference as well where we heard him share his childhood testimony of neglect and abuse. Unfortunately this also included his first experience with people who declared the Lord as their Savior. Many young and old people alike can relate to the emotions that Tony dealt with growing up and that can often times leave people feeling like there is nowhere to turn.

     Tony touched on sensitive subjects that boiled down to finding who we are in Christ and not arguing about who we are and about who He is and just surrendering everything over to Him. Tony lived with his adopted father telling him numerous times he wished he would have never "bought him." It wasn't until many years later he heard his Heavenly Father say, "I've never regretted purchasing you." His goal is to tell as many people as he can that prayer is the language of the soul and not to listen to the devil because he is a punk.

     I have often wondered at these events why they always seem to have a group in the line up who don't really fit into the CCM industry. Not to mention they seem to be placed right in the middle of the line up after someone like Tony speaks about difficult subjects. 

     This particular afternoon it dawned on me. I'm almost positive there was a good amount of people who came specifically to see Red perform. Most of the people in attendance who like a majority of the other groups sit there in a state of shock when Red takes the stage. Lyrically they sing about deep places of darkness, anger, frustration and feeling trapped.

     Lead singer Michael Barnes does speak of God briefly while the band is putting on an explosive (quite literally) show on stage, but lyrically it's more of a perspective from someone dealing with struggles along the same lines as those Tony described he faced as a young man. I honestly believe they include Red (or similar; Skillet) to draw those out who feel exactly like their lyrics to hear the messages around them to introduce them to Christ. 

     During the set change to prepare for Matthew West a prerecorded video greeting from Newsboys introduced the trailer for God's Not Dead 2. They stressed the importance of us inviting non-believers to go see it with us upon release currently set for April 1, 2016. If nothing else you could talk your friends into going to see Deadpool with you, your treat and then when you get there say April fools! (It's ok you can laugh).  

     Matthew opened his segment of the evening with respect for the Nation asking everyone to sing God Bless America. He also carried an enthusiasm and humor throughout sharing very touching stories and testimonies.  During his opening fan favorite Day 1,confetti shot out over the audience and the crowd was re-energized. Going directly into a passionate performance of Hello My Name Is.  

     Matthew never fails to make people smile when he is on stage.  He has a genuine desire to make people happy, all the while spiritually drawing us to a deeper understanding of being there for others.  

     After some silly interaction with the audience and bringing a very lucky little boy named Hunter to join him on stage he began to explain the heart of his actions. "You see there is a method to this madness.  We don't know each other, so though you might be holding hands with someone you don't know, we have ONE God who has two hands reaching out to all we just have to raise our hands and surrender everything to God."

     Shortly after returning a very happy Hunter to his parents they shared an emotional skype video from Rob testifying about how he has worked his way through Teen Challenge. He also passed on hope to others letting them know that it doesn't matter what you've done, God's not done yet. Matthew closed out in my opinion the best witness performance of the night with Grace Wins as the crowd roared with applause.  

     While they were preparing the western saloon stage setting for Crowder, Stephanie Fast began to share her story of survival.  A true walking testimony of grace, found in a heaping pile of trash by one she considers a hero in her life, gave her the opportunity to be adopted into a loving family. She once again spoke of how important it is to sponsor children. 

     The crowd began to go crazy when Crowder started to open up with I See The Light.  If you have never seen some of these bands live you are truly missing a wonderful experience. I'm not sure where Crowder goes when he is performing but he puts every single ounce of energy into his music and you can tell he is one of the most passionate people in the industry.

     He is definitely one that leaves everything he has on that stage every single time. Performing I Am, Prodigal, Come As You Are, He Is Jealous For Me and the good ole' fashioned hoe down of I'll Fly Away it's always a treat to know he will be present at a concert. 

     There was a brief intermission where Newsong explained the benefit of this tour and how you basically pay one dollar to see each band.  With the cost of touring and renting buildings they always take a few minutes to pass around an offering plate to help keep costs down for tickets.  One of the things they went into detail about, which I thought was a wonderful blessing for each city is that they research local ministry prior to each event and donate 10% of their offering collected into a local outreach.  City Gospel Mission  in Cincinnati had no idea they would be receiving that so I thought it was an amazing way to sow into each city they praise through.  

     For King & Country have exploded into the CCM realm over the last couple of years and if you have ever seen them perform you would understand why.  Most photographers have a shutter speed setting specifically designed for them alone.  They are so animated when they are on stage you have to wonder how much coffee they drink while on tour.  I love watching them express their praise and worship and imagine this team on the front of any spiritual battle field would be hard to beat.

     Performing some of their best known songs including It's Not Over Yet, Fix My Eyes and Priceless they shared their heart for women and their fight against the horrible atrocity of human trafficking.  They have created a movie out of the desire to help those trapped in that evil which will be releasing this fall, check out the trailer here.

     They often speak of how much respect they have for women and how men should honor them as Christ loved the church. As much as they love each other as siblings a few of them have suffered from serious illnesses which have created some of the their most beautiful songs.  Luke shared a portion of his struggle before an impassioned performance of Shoulders.   

     I cannot speak for everyone else who has had the opportunity to attend Winter Jam this year, but I believe this is one of the best crews they have ever had.  One must take into account when it's called Winter Jam that is exactly what you need to expect.  These groups are there for a Jam session and in the midst of that leading people to Christ through spoken words, songs and testimonies.  Together uniting for one purpose and celebrating one King and one Savior who we come to lift up in praise and adoration and celebrate what He's done for all of us.  

     If you have never had the opportunity to go to Winter Jam there are still a few remaining chances to catch them live!  If you are unable and would like to take a friend to experience what it's all about on April 19th you will have your chance to watch it in the movie theater as you can see below!

     You can also swing by to view the rest of the photos from the Cincinnati Tour and if you would like to share your video testimony about how this event or one of the artists has influenced your walk with Christ please feel free to do so.  We feel it is important for everyone to share their testimony.  You never know, someone else's breakthrough could be on the other side of your obedience. 

Casting Crowns Delivers First Live Worship Album

     On November 13, 2015 Billboards top selling act in Christian music since 2007 provides another ministry tool to the body of Christ in their first live worship album.

     Casting Crowns has been a staple in the Christian music industry since 1999. Releasing their first independent album in 2001 which received vast local recognition. However in 2003 they received world wide recognition with their Self-Titled first label release through Beach Street Records.

     It didn't take long for them to become one of the best known and loved Christians groups to grace the waves of the industry. Casting Crowns are no strangers to RIAA award recognitions either with a vast list of gold, platinum and double platinum achievements. In January of this year they were given the much deserved platinum certification for their album Until The Whole World Hears. 

      Throughout the years of their music ministry each member remains faithful servants within their local church as well. Lead singer, Mark Hall has been a full time youth Pastor for 20 years at Eagles Landing First Baptist Church. It's no surprise that they would choose this location to record their latest album, A Live Worship Experience. Consisting of five worship songs shared in churches all around the world and six original fan favorites affirming tugging at your spiritual heartstrings. 

     If you have been involved in church or you are familiar with Christian music you will definitely recognize several of the worship songs they incorporate into the Live Worship Experience. One of my favorite they recreated live is Here's My Heart, Lord.  (Video Below) Written by the amazing Chris Tomlin and shortly after conquered by David Crowder, this has always been a favorite of mine. I have no doubt both of them appreciated the passion the Crowns infused into it. 

    

     Great Are You Lord is an original from All Sons And Daughters as well as Called Me Higher. For me personally the versions on this album were the first I had heard either one. Regardless of the number of remakes, both are beautiful messages. 

Great Are you Lord,  is one of my favorites delivering a simple yet profound message with authentic conviction. " You give life, you are love. You bring light to the darkness. You give hope, you restore every heart that is broken, Great are You, Lord. It's Your breath in our lungs, so we pour out our praise. We pour out our praise. It's Your breath in our lungs. So we pour out our praise to you only."

     If you don't recognize all of the songs you will quickly come to enjoy them with their signature sound and spirit intertwined into the messages.  Other covers include Good Good Father which was introduced by Housefires and skyrocketed into the top ten by Chris Tomlin.


     Megan Garrett delivers an amazing vocal of No Not One, originally written and performed by Christy Nockels.  Some may not agree with me but I actually enjoyed this version more than any other I have heard.   It may simply be because I have always loved Megan's passion that she conveys through her delivery in the message. Either way it's a great rendition of a beautifully written song.

     For the huge fan base Casting Crowns already has supporting them on their amazing journey of ministry, you will be encouraged to know the six original tracks included live come with an added bonus of ministry from Mark.  If you have ever been able to attend a live concert you know these guys share the love of Christ in messages both in word and song to bless and strengthen the body of Christ.

     Just Be Held was a song that Mark had no idea would minister to him in his own life when he came against a personal fight with cancer. At Calvary was first included on their album Glorious Day; Hymns of Faith . Other favorites you will blessed by include Thrive, You Are The Only One and The Well. 

     The last song I want to mention is one of the most powerful messages in my opinion that has ever been birthed out of a Christian band.  Jesus, Friend Of Sinners displays the love that should pour out from us to those who have yet to come to know Christ.  It's so important that we understand we were not sent to judge the world we were placed here to compel them to come to Christ.  The live version of this song seems to carry such a greater quality to me than the studio version and it may be simply because it's the heart and prayer of the true body of Christ desiring a movement of repentance in the world.  

      When that is shared in a setting where everyone is in one mind and one accord there is a precious moment that occurs that cannot be explained in words, only felt in the spirit of the believer. This album is a testament of the victorious messages they share through the faith and love that they embody as musicians. Not only for God but for others striving to grow closer to the Lord and reach others who do not know Him.

The OutCry Tour

On A Mission For Christ

  

     On July 24, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois this movement kicked off with a bang with a sold out gathering.  Unlike other concerts this was more of an awakening of the Body of Christ and a call to those who have wandered away from the faith or those who have never committed their lives to Christ.

 

     I travelled to Pittsburgh to The First Niagara Pavillion along with my husband, brother and close friend Becky for the second night of the tour. Unaware of how many people would be attending the evening we arrived an hour before doors opened to a mass of people flocking to parking spots.  I was not shocked by the number of people showing up considering the line up for the evening.  However, it seemed many were overwhelmed by the waiting lines to get into the gates to the Pavillion. I don't believe the facility expected that many people to turn up to send praise up.
 

     Unfortunately due to mile long lines to pass through check in we didn't get through in time to catch DJ Promote or Trip Lee who opened the night. 

     Lauren Daigle was on stage when we made our way to our seats.  She was talking about how she was reflecting earlier that day on the goodness of God and how special it was to be a part of the evening. 
 

     Nashville native Daigle poured her heart out on stage as we were able to catch her sing her K-love fan awards Worship Song of the Year,  How Can It Be. Being a young woman in ministry her maturity shows in her personal statement on her website that lines up with the purpose for this tour. 

     "My heart’s cry is that people feel empowered as a body of Christ. It’s just heavy on my heart for all of us to rise up in unity and recognize the goodness of God. My hope is that people are empowered by knowing who they belong to, knowing that they are the son or daughter of God, and in response to that being able to worship fully, worship with complete abandon.”

     Between set changes Nick Hall came on stage to speak about the importance of gathering together to worship the one who came to set us free.  He also shared information about the purpose behind the tour and how they are trying to call upon the Body of Christ to Unite as one and make an imprint on our Nation. 

     While Passion commanded the stage I believe that is the moment I began to start wiping away tears.  It wasn't because of my love for some of the songs they did, but the spirit in which it was delivered and the unity of the crowd.   It's hard to put into words what happens at an event like this if you have never experienced it yourself.  There is something so undeniably powerful about the spirit of God in an atmosphere of corporate worship. 

     
     You could see Crowder on the side lines when the first couple artists took stage and he was worshipping all the while. When he entered center stage something happened to him.  The passion he carries behind that Duck Dynasty resemblance is hard to beat. 

     He empties everything that he is out in worship.  With a strong bluegrass incorporation into his unique sound mixed with pop rock he is a breed all his own. 

     I wasn't quite sure what the story was behind the stuffed white dog on stage with them but as far as performances are concerned he NAILED it from start to finish.  You could hear people as they were leaving the event saying, "Man, Crowder killed it tonight!"




     During another stage reset Shaun Groves shared of the importance as the Body of Christ to step up and help those in need.  Compassion International is a huge organization that creates a pathway for others to make a spiritual impact in the lives of children all around the world who need a light to shine through the cracks in which they have fallen. On this tour alone the last time I checked over 4,000 children have been given the gift of hope through caring brothers and sisters in Christ.




 

     

     I feel extremely blessed to have been able to partake in this evening and have the opportunity to see Jesus Culture and Hillsong United.  This tour was intricately woven together with amazing artists and worship bands and to have these two close out the evening of worship is like a Heavenly encounter that truly has to be experienced to grasp.  For those who were there that night and for others that experienced the tour at other locations including the sold out shows in Chicago, Atlanta, Miami and Houston it is hard to put into words.
     

 

     What happens when the unity of worship combined with expectation births in the atmosphere is unexplainable.  For many it created a new fire in their spirits or awakened callings.  For others it opened the realm of the Holy Spirit so thick that the light knocking they felt on their hearts before caused that door to bust wide open. 

     The most memorable moment for me was when Nick Hall started speaking about blind Bartimaeus  (Mark Chapter 10) and how he was calling out to Jesus and everyone was trying to make him think Jesus didn't care about him.  Despite what others were saying to him he began to holler louder.  Well, as the tour says we are louder together and each night as displayed in the pictures below from five different locations these lights represent thousands whose eyes were opened either for the first time or rededication to Christ.  That moment took my breath away and was one of the most amazing spiritual things I have ever experienced personally. I cannot even fathom the celebrations that have been occurring in Heaven during this tour. 

 
Each light represents souls won for

the Kingdom of Heaven!

The cross of Christ shining bright!

     One of the things this tour was created for was to bring awareness to a movement they are planning for July 16, 2016.  Below you can see the video for the call to this generation of believers to come together in an effort to impact our Nation leading people back to the message of the cross. 

Sign up to attend this event today!
 

Together Unified as the Body of Christ
