Upon joining RYFO, I immediately became excited. Touring bands are desperately reliant upon the sheer hospitality and goodness of people who believe in our mission and love our music. This organization does just that.
As a band, we have benefited greatly from knowing that there are people who are out to help us make the dreams we've been given possible. The books have allowed me to minister to my family, increase my knowledge of Scripture, and encourage others. Last summer, we stayed in the same host home twice on tour. The amazing friends we made also got us one of the best shows we ever played. We were privileged to get to know other musicians with beautiful hearts and maintain contact with them as well. Our host home gave up of themselves and were instantaneous confidants on a spiritual level. The fellowship and Christian love that was kindled there has not died out, as we still keep in contact and pray for one another whenever need arise. We did not simply share music with them, but also part of our hearts.
I thank RYFO for having this vision and seeing it come to fruition in our lives. The sense of community and partnership RYFO creates does not only embody the necessity of the musical world, but the Church as well.
Grace and Peace,
