Update

Wow, it's been a long time since I have written. I apologize. One of the main things I have been busy with is planning the benefit concert that the flyer below is advertising.

Some info about the actual night (Friday, May 29) is this; the event is being held at The Loft at The Woodlands United Methodist Church. My little brother is a paid musician there and the youth director, Bob Swan, has so graciously opened up their doors for me to hold this event. The doors open to the event at 6pm and the first band goes on at 6:30pm. The Lord has blessed me with incredible connections with musicians through my brothers and my own booking company. The artists are: James Caronna, Justin Tinnel (my older brother), Zach Hendricks and Gatlin Elms. These are four (4) incredible up and coming artists in the Houston area. I am honored to represent 3 of the 4 band performing. I, also, have asked each of them to ask God about giving them a song specifically for our Zimbabwe/South Africa trip, and I know a few of them are already writing.

Below is a copy of the flyer we are using to promote the event. I would love not only for each of you to show up to this event, as this concert will help out my whole team, but also to help promote the event in your area. 100% of the proceeds from this event will go towards paying off the remaining "debt" of my team members (those who have not yet raised the $3000 like myself) and then all proceeds above and beyond that will go towards allowing the pastors in both countries to attend the event without having to use their personal money or the churches money.

We will have a merch table at the event. A friend of mine is making prayer jewelry and I am selling “Love Does Something” t-shirts that look like the logo at the top of the page. Also at the merch tables I will have a few copies of different support letters my team and I have written to so that all who attend can see why each of us uniquely is going on this trip and as the support letters are read, we hope to stir excitment in them the same way we are.

I am excited about the event and excited about what God will do. Please pray along with myself, Colin, and each of the musicians as we are praying for God to bring in $100,000. Please pray with us for GOD’S WORK to be done and for the night to bring him honor! Thank you for your prayerful support of me and my team as we are preparing for this journey. May God be honored in all we do and may his blessing fall on you.
