The last time I went on choir tour was in 'o3 when we went to Washington DC, and I wasn't sure that I wanted to go on tour this year, but I am glad that I did. God is doing amazing things not only in the services we perform, but also in the hearts of everyone in the choir. It has been a humbling experience to see how intensly everyone hungers after God. Over the course of these 12 days I have seen many tears shed, wounds healed, and hearts filled because of the love of Jesus Christ.

Ok, my experience on this trip has been wonderful. I've gotten to meet lots of different people and experience lots of new things. I've grown stronger in my walk with Jesus Christ, and learned new things about my faith. I've also built stronger relationships with my aquaintances - that now I'm proud to call my family and friends.

Hey Ya'll, this has been my 2nd choir tour, and I have to say that it has been amazing!!! People that we have met at some of the churches have told us that God is really moving in and through us, and I agree. It has been so amazing to see the younger ones grow closer to God and to see some of them come out of their comfort zones. I personally have to say that I think throughout this tour, that I have formed a closer relationship with God than I had with him before we left. God is truly with us and is doing amazing things through us!

Throughout the trip I could really see that God was moving. My life and the lives around me have gotten the full effect of God's power. We have all become closer to one another. And the beach was a blast...

points-OF-view

so tired. i'm not very good at writing from a group point-of-view, so to speak. i can write my own stuff but it's hard to get everyone's opinion's in there ya know?

so since i'm staying with some friends i thought i'd get their input on how the tour's gone so far.

It's pretty good, there's a lot less 'drama' and everyone gets along very well. The 'cliques' are being loosed and we're coming together as a real group. God's doing great things and we're having a bunch of fun! Uhm... no don't put 'uhm'... don't type that!!! stop!!!! Anyway, it's been an experience that I don't think people will forget - it's drawn us together as a group in more ways ways than one. Everyone's on fire for God and I hope that when we get home it'll stay the same.

It's been amazing to see God move, not only in our audiences but also in our youth choir. It's amazing to see the Holy Spirit fall in something as simple as a spoken drama or an act of service. The bus rides have been long - but somehow still entertaining, and we're all looking forward to Gulf Shores tomorrow.

Alyssa Duvall -

It's been my first tour, I think it's been a mixture of frustration, excitement, and sheer stupidity. I mean, I haven't ever laughed this hard, and it's fun to be able to see the impact we're making on other lives. In one word - it's been an adventure. I've made new friends, and also built better relationships.

Tour this year has been different than the other tour's I've been on, there's allot more God-experience. Our middle school group, man, I look at them and I'm amazed at their hunger for God, I can't wait to see the stuff that's going to happen through them. Every service I look at them and think "wow" i want that, it's different though because I'm supposed to be the model, and they are. It is different, but I like it. There's been a lot less drama, on every trip there's some, but here there's less. I've gotten closer to lots of people, and it's been a great road to travel on. I'm happy to be here and.... and.... and.... *high pitched voice* I really do want world peace.
