Getting over Jetlag – fast

It’s Sunday morning and the guys have gotten into things fast. Yesterday was spent keeping them awake until the evening to get them over jetlag. Today, most of the group woke up at 4 AM waiting until everyone else woke. Then they hurried off to the church (we are about 1 km away) for a quick band rehearsal before services started. The guys got to supplement the church’s worship band (they didn’t have a drummer or guitarist for the day) and do a song from the concert line up (it was kick’in!!).

Tonight will be a community concert and tomorrow we’ll be doing a concert for a local vocational school. Then on Tuesday we start going to the prisons (5 prisons, 5 days, 5 concerts) including going to the oldest juvenile prison in Poland.

Please keep all of the concerts and logistics in your prayers. Pray for those that will be at the concerts and for the band as they present the Gospel through blues music.

Waiting for the band in Poland

I haven’t forgotten about all my blogs that I want to write about Ukraine however I’m just so excited. I’m sitting in Warsaw, Poland waiting for the “Kyle Dillard Band” (Kyle is the worship director of our home church, Lake Forest). I just got an SMS that they are in Europe with only one more flight before they are here in Poland.

This is going to be an awesome time as we are going to be doing Blues music in places that know something about blues – Warsaw prisons. CreativeWorks, a ministry of GEM, has connections with a local church that does work in these prisons. Using the music of Blues, we’ll be able to tell and show the Gospel. It’s going to be great. Also as a bonus, I get to see some great guys from my home church that I haven’t seen for almost 1 1/2 years. Awesome!!!
