Well, tour time is revving up. We crossed a major milestone this week. We sold our stage to a church plant in Savannah, Georgia. That stage was the first major purchase we made when we first felt God leading us to a touring ministry. In the 3 years we've had it, it has held thousands of kids in over 50 productions. Though it's heavy and bulky and difficult to deal with in many ways, it was a huge blessing to us, and we pray that it will continue to be a blessing to our new friends in Savannah. They'll be leading worship on it this Sunday. I prayed for them today as I thought of them rolling it out of a trailer and setting it up. within the next month, we'll be order our new, lighter weight stage. We're excited about it and blessed to have it. It's a big investment, but we felt God's timing in making it happen for us.
We're rolling out of a really busy season. Christmas, for Frick and Frack Music, meant two shows (the kids were great!), and two handbell concerts. For a first ever, our children's handbell choirs played at the White House in front of the National Christmas Tree. We were really excited that the seniors from our church chartered a bus to come see us. They were a great audience, and the kids were so encouraged. This ministry continues to grow and we are praying that God will provide us with the funding for two more octaves of bells -- we are currently nearly maxed out on the number of players we can accommodate. We need two more octaves in order to continue growing the ministry.
Please pray for us as we juggle the responsibilities of our busy home schedule -- we have Kidstuf responsibilities on Sunday as well as two shows at Mt. Ararat and a third class we've added this semester at Grace Prep School. This is our busiest season, and we need discernment in time management, energy in task completion, health and mental well being as we juggle the many tasks that lie ahead.
And on a practical note, please pray that all our printers and equipment continue functioning properly! Like many ministries, we demand a lot of our resources. When equipment fails, it can mean time and money lost.
We have booked all 13 weeks of tour, despite a struggling economy, and are eagerly anticipating what God will do through us and in us this summer.
