Thanking our Special Guests

This morning I spent some time calling on out of state donors to thank them for supporting and encouraging our ministry. One gentleman asked me “What night are the Newsboys playing?” Guessing correctly I said, “Sunday night, and it is likely to be Peter’s last performance with the band.” Shocked the gentleman asked “What do you mean his last performance, where is he going?” The truth is that I don’t know much about the Newsboys but I answered confidently that he was going to continue to write songs for them and spend more time with his family.

I also spoke with a woman from Beaver Creek, MN. She was thrilled to be talking with someone from LifeLight about the Festival. I had the website up and told her it’s only: 28 days, 21 hours, 48 minutes and 43 seconds away! She has been to every festival except the first one. Her words: “I have been in rain, heat, dust, great weather, bad weather, mud, sun and I would not miss it for anything!”

I spoke with another woman from David City, NE (not the City of David). She is driving the 205 miles to the Festival with a group of girls. How big a group of girls you ask? For the third year in a row they will be booking 13 rooms at a motel by the Empire Mall.

Positive and encouraging (has someone else used that??) is all I can say about my morning of visiting with our special guests at the LifeLight Festival.
