weekend in high point, nc

W-O-W! We are STILL overwhelmed and feeling super blessed from this past weekend spent in High Point, NC with the people of Crossover Community Church! Our weekend was filled with good food, great people, and awesome worship!

We would like to give a SPECIAL THANK YOU to our host homes: John and Michelle; Jeff and Tammy Smith (and Owen!) and Neil and Leslie Grimes (and Ben!). You guys truly blessed us with your hospitality!

*As many of you know, we have been praying and preparing to head into the studio in January to begin working on our second CD- our first full length album. As most of you also know, recording and producing a CD is very expensive, and we have been praying for God to affirm our desire to move forward in our ministry. This past weekend in North Carolina, through an overwhelming donation, our finanacial need to begin the recording process was MET!!! We will never forget the selfless gift that was given to us, the gift which affirms God’s plan for our lives. We now know that God has each of us right where were are supposed to be!

*WE CANNOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH to this particular person, along with EVERYONE from Crossover who encouraged us and supported us through purchasing pre-sale CD’s and other merchandise and through giving to the love offering. We will continue to keep your church in our prayers, and we cannot wait to see you guys again!

Here are some pictures from this weekend!

Saw You @ the Pole Rally-Water Valley, MS

We just returned from our trip to First Baptist Water Valley in Mississppi for their “Saw You at the Pole Rally” and WHOA was it a trip! The rally was AWESOME and we TOTALLY rocked out and celebrated our Lord and Savior in a BIG BIG way! With the help of a great message by “Wilsey” and the organization of an incredible youth pastor, Hal Clark, the night was truly a success!

However… getting there and back was a different story. God was TRULY watching over us. On the way, we had a 3 1/2 hour delay attempting to find an alternate route through Atlanta on Tuesday night. Interstate I-20 was closed and almost all of the detours were closed due to flooding. PLEASE keep the families in Atlanta in your prayers and those that have lost friends and family members. The flooding is A LOT worse than it looked like on the news…the water literally looked like RIVERS running across roadways. Very scary. God protected us and kept us safe, as that very night, on those residential roads, a man lost his life when his car was swept away by the flood waters.

On the way home, in Atlanta, our trailor lost a tire on interstate I-20. God was also watching out for us here because if we had been in any other lane than the far left, the tire could have caused a serious accident. This caused a 5 hour delay in Atlanta…and God watched out for us as Bryan repaired the tire and got us safely on the way home.

Despite all of the evil that tried to creep into our trip, we had a BLAST and cannot wait to go back to Water Valley! Hal, thanks for showing us a great time! And to everyone there, You ROCKED!

Here are some pictures from Wednesay night!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Quick Update

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to check in and give you guys a quick update!

We will be heading to Water Valley, MS for the See You At The Pole Rally THIS Wednesday and we are PUMPED!!! Due to some band member’s school schedules, we will be traveling a good bit in a 24 hour period. Please pray for our safety and perseverance on this trip! Also pray for the students that we will have the opportunity to impact while we are in Water Valley!  We are SO excited and we know that God is going to show up and do some BIG things Wednesday night!

Also… we have added some new lighting to our rig that we travel with for shows… be on the look out for pics of our new gear coming up later next week!!!

AND… Please keep our NEXT CD PROJECT in your prayers as well! We will be headed to Atlanta in January to begin recording our second CD. We need prayers that God will show us how He wants to use this next CD to minister to His people! We are so excited that we have been blessed with all the doors opening to be able to record this CD! Please pray for the process to be smooth. More details coming soon so check back often!!!

We also would like to let everyone know that we still have dates open for Fall 09 and Spring 10 that we are trying to fill. Please email joseph @ booking@josephchristieband.com or call him @ 706.306.8190 if you have any questions about booking. Remember that we travel with a complete lighting and sound rig and a sound technician, so you are not left worrying about those details for the event you are planning. We have been called to ministry through music by our Lord and Savior, and we are hoping to come and lead worship for YOUR next event! Never planned a big youth/church event? Give Joseph a call, and we will help you out. We have contacts for speakers/ministers as well. We will do everything we can to help make your next event a SUCCESS!
