Let me just start off by saying that our last week of tour was stupendous! The IMPACT youth conference was a great way to end the summer. We were able to hear some great men of God such as, Bro. Kenny Baldwin, Bro. Greg Locke, Bro. Steve Roberson, Bro. Ralph Sexton, Jr., Bro. Clint Fredericks, and, of course, one that is near and dear to our hearts, our college chancellor, Bro. Eric Capaci. The Lord worked on the hearts of many young people and several trusted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and gave their lives to Him. – The week was also chocked-full of fun activities like enjoying a delicious meal at the Dixie Stampede, and riding some thrilling roller coasters at Dollywood, just to name a few! We had a great time visiting with friends that we have met through our travels and meeting tons of new ones! We were able to toss out some free t-shirts and backpacks and pass out brochures everyday, and it was a blast getting the crowd fired up! – As the end of the summer drew closer and closer, we took time to reflect upon and thank the Lord for the amazing experiences that He allowed us to have, and for the many memories we have made, as well as the lasting friendships that we have developed. Praise the Lord for His safety and protection as we traveled the country, and for working in our lives in ways that we never imagined!


It was a great crowd! About 2,500 people were in attendance!
