The Journey Begins

Well we have finally become bloggers!! Rina and I figured this was the easiest way for us to keep everyone updated with all our exciting adventures and life on tour as we seem to meet more and more people who want to journey with us and it is becoming increasingly difficult to remember everyones email addresses!!

So, this is where we will post all of our news, photos, videos and general useless information we feel inspired to share....and perhaps some things of interest because we would hate to bore you with our stories of relaxing, sightseeing, eating and sleeping in till all hours of the day : ) We're sure no-one wants to hear about that....

Anyway, we want to start this blog by thanking everyone for your prayers and support over these past few months. Life on the road has been an amazing adevnture so far, and we want to share a few of the amazing things God has done since we arrived here in Adelaide, South Australia.

For those of you who have journeyed with us for any time will know the challenges we have endured just to get here today. Losing my voice, needing to sell our house and 2 cars, finishing the new album, organising a 6 month national tour as well as buying a caravan and 4wd all before we left seemed like an almost impossible task 1 and half months out before the tour. Luckily our amazing God has great plans for us and His promises never fail - 1 Thes 5:24.
Now 2 months on we can testify of Gods incredible faithfulness!! The album is finished and is now available Australia wide, Sean has been overwhelmed with bookings to churches and schools great and small (Hillsong, Edge Church, Citylife...), God provided a beautiful 18ft Caravan and 2004 Landcruiser Troopy for us to borrow free of charge (see pics), We sold Rina's Audi just 1 day before we flew out to Adelaide and have slowly been getting my voice back day by day!!! God is sooo good.
Now to the here and now - Since arriving in Adelaide we have been incredibly blessed by Adelaides warmth and hospitality, as well as seeing God open some amazing doors and opportunities for us and His Holy Spirit to move.

We have played in numerous Christian and Lutheran Schools as well as a few conferences and Churches with great response and feel God has given us a timely message to help Connect Children with God!! Have spent a few days exploring the coast and hills as well as catching up with new friends for lunch and dinner. Off this weekend to AAMI Stadium to watch Port Adelaide vs Carlton which is the other unofficial reason why we are touring Australia - to visit every ground around the nation!!!

Anyway, we are really excited about what God is doing and the seeds He is sowing through this ministry. Please keep us in your prayers as we finish our time here in Adelaide and head off to Melbourne for an extremely busy and highly anticipated time ahead! God has opened some incredible doors and opportunities for us to play, however we are aware the enemy is not happy as my voice is still really quite sore and desparately needs Gods healing power. On a week break so please continue to uphold us and this minstry in your prayers.

Until next time - God Bless
Love Sean and Rina
