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 Europe and UK Leg of the Everlasting Tour Begins
20 hours of flying time is quite a lot, but it went by so fast. It might have been the on board entertainment or the 5 hours of sleep that I got, but Australia to Germany has never felt so fast! I love traveling via Abu Dhabi, it is the most direct way, took 13 hrs 50 mins and then another 6hrs 30 mins to Munich.
The Everlasting Album Release Tour 2015
All of our gear at Melbourne International Airport.
Some great things have already happened and we've only been here a day, we got the best deal on car rental, probably one of the cheapest we've been able to find out of all the international touring we've done. I also love it how pretty much every German car is an awesome one, they very nicely decided to give us an Audi A3 which thankfully takes Diesel fuel, which is the cheapest fuel option in Europe coming in at about 1.16 euros per litre. We'll be racking up the kilometres on this trip, so we're really thankful to God for providing us with this awesome deal!
Hello Germany 🇩🇪 Enjoying the Autobahn!
So anyways enough about car talk, as I could go on, when we hit the autobahn at 9am local time we drove to our first night of accommodation which wasn't able to check us in until 3PM. So we took the liberty of having 6 hours or so to go and explore Augsburg, which just so happens to be a well known place for Martin Luther and the reformation. I had no idea about this, as we didn't have time to research tourism stuff much before leaving, so while we struggled against extreme tiredness and jet lag, we checked out some amazing sights in Augsburg.

Here's a photo album of some of the stuff we experienced yesterday.
Anyways, this is all I have time to write about at the moment, we drive off to Switzerland today to have our first concert this weekend at the JAWE youth conference, keep checking this blog as we aim to update you on our tour along the way.
Much of God's blessings,
- Eric
