Celebrating 300
Last week we celebrated our 300th concert since we sang together for the first time in late 2009! We are praising God for His guidance, providence & continually giving us the faith we lack. Thank you to each and everyone of you who have supported us & our music over the years! We know that we couldn't do this without you! Thank you! - E & M xo
JAWE Conference in Switzerland
Since we last wrote, we had just arrived in Munich, Germany. Now it's a week later and we are feeling much more accustomed to the time zone. Here in Switzerland we are doing a few concerts including one at the JAWE Conference that just finished this past weekend. The organisers of the JAWE conference had asked us to do a concert on the final night, this meant coming two weeks earlier to Europe and we couldn't say no. Since reflecting on the weekend we are very happy we made the decision to come to Europe earlier than planned. We heard a number of inspiring comments from our concert, here are a few.
- "During your concert I felt close to the divine, I could see Jesus through what you were singing and saying." - Attendee at JAWE Conference
- "A lot of musicians and singers out there sing to glorify themselves, it is clear that your main focus is singing for God and that came across in the presentation." - Attendee at JAWE Conference
- "Your music is not superficial, lyrics are deeply biblical and your music is modern." - Attendee at JAWE Conference
- "I shared your music with random people in the street during outreach time and they said that they loved your music and want to buy it off ITunes." - Attendee at JAWE Conference
There were a number of other comments and we came away from the weekend feeling really blessed to have shared our music ministry and really glad that we came early. We have three concerts in Switzerland coming up, to check out the details head to our tour page.
Until next time,
God bless,
Eric & Monique
The Tropics and the Long Drive Home
We've returned home from the Australian leg of the 'Everlasting' Release Tour after driving 13,513km & completing 27 concerts/music-sermons in eight weeks. To say the least, there's a certain combination of burnout, joy and surrealism that accompanies a music ministry tour.
I have come to appreciate the small moments, the short spaces of time when a connection is made, a story is heard or a testimony is expressed with tear filled eyes. These are the moments scattered amongst the repetition, the rush and the tiredness that matter. These are the moments amongst the music, the words, the budgeting, and the countless emails that remind us of the reason why.
- A non-Christian husband who comes to church for the first time with his wife
- A lady having a particularly terrible day, being able to have a moment of rest
- A Bible study group's recent studies flowing perfectly into the concert's topic
- A young man, studying the Bible with the pastor, being emotionally moved to the point of conviction
- A lady, who randomly came to church after a series of bad circumstances, who was brought closer in her relationship to God as a result.
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue on with the 'Everlasting' Release Tour in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom.
