Prep Work & First Show!

Preparation

It has already been a week since Sarah got here! This past week has been filled with Sarah's awesome hard work of booking shows along our route, us practicing music, recording songs, and working on fundraising, while I am working part time at the mexican restaurant and helping out with the high school cross country team.

Local Newspaper

As I write this blog we are sitting at the local coffee shop, and Sarah is back to booking shows.  We also just had an interview with a writer from the local newspaper about our music ministry tour. We are really excited to get the word out about what God is doing through this ministry and feel blessed that this opportunity came up to publicly share it.

First Show

Last night, September 28, we had our first show at Cesar's Kitchen.  This is the mexican restaurant that I'm a waitress at on the weekends. Last Saturday during work the idea of us playing there came up, and Cesar and his wife were all for it.  They are very supportive of what we're doing and graciously gave me 2 months off to go on this music ministry tour. Shout out to their beautiful, kind hearts! It was a lot of fun and a great way to kick off our music ministry tour. Also, it was a great way for me to get a taste of what it's like because I've never really done anything like this before.  Sarah's a good coach and knows what's up and how all these things work from her own experience with her music and gigs she has done in the past.

We have one week of preparation left before we hit the road. We still need to add a few things to our songs on the new cd, book more shows, and practice more songs.  Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare and pack for this 2 month journey.  

Here's a fun video we made promoting our tour.  You can also find it on our fundraising page. Our goal is $2,000 through indiegogo.com Check out our indiegogo website by clicking here to see what fun goodies you can get in return if you support us! As of today We have $415.  Give and get either a postcard from us on the road, a homemade bracelet, a free single of Sarah's new song "Be Still," a tshirt, our cd, or a package deal!

One Step Closer!

Sarah made it to my house last night!!! I made her oreo cupcakes to celebrate her 25th birthday!

So far we've been working on booking more shows for September (check out our shows page to see if there's one near you!), our friend Sally came over and did a mini photo shoot for the posters (which will be coming soon!), and we played through a few songs we've played together in the past just to brush up and get a feel for what it's like playing and singing together again.

We're really excited for these next few weeks as we prepare and it starts becoming more real.  Be sure to keep checking our shows as we keep getting more confirmed.  So far we have shows in Seward, NE, Lincoln, NE, St. Joseph, MO, Kansas City, MO, and St. Louis / St. Charles, MO!!

Please keep praying for us as we prepare and practice our songs and get some of the details worked out.  At first glance it's overwhelming but we're just trying to take it one step at a time in the direction He wants us to go.

Much Love!

Welcome!!

Hey Guys!

As I write this Sarah is still in Indiana and I'm here in Nebraska. In about two weeks (around Aug. 19)  Sarah will be making her way over to Nebraska to be here a few weeks before we hit the open road! (Around September 12 or so) During this time we will pray, prep, record, and even do a few area shows before heading southeast to Georgia!

Please keep us in your prayers as we want to bring Glory to God in everything we do, every note we play, every mile we drive, and in the midst of every person we meet along the way.  May His Name be glorified and lifted high throughout the southeastern states of the U.S. of A!

Much Love!
