God Struck

We started in February of 2006. Our keyboardist and drummer began playing in Sunday school. That went on for two weeks and then Ben,the singer, began to play with them. At that point Ben had only been playing the guitar for two months. We continued to play in Sunday School and eventually started to figure out there that there was a difference in playing music and leading worship. Later in june, Barrett, the electric guitarist, and Cody, the bass, began to learn their instruments; by the end of june, they were playing with the band on a weekly basis! I say all of that to show how things work when God puts it together and not us. Because two months after Ben began learning and one month after Barrett and Cody started learning, God was already putting things together which shows that it was nothing but Christ. In the early part of 2007, we were playing in our church worship services as well as Sunday school. Everywhere we go it is our desire to take time to invest in the lives of the people we are there to lead in worship. Because we know that a relationship with someone impacts lives more than us playing music. God has given us a vision and that is to minister. We are just blessed enough for God to allow us to use what we love, music, to get into people's lives so that we can reach them. We also share with people that we love and get excited about music but music is not our motivation. We find our excitement, our joy, and our motivation comes from Christ. Just as every worship band has done at least once in their career, we have tried things on our own and it's then that we fall on our face and are not being used by God. Inside the band, there are different personalities which also allow us to reach a wide variety of people. This leads me into sharing where we hope to be. Eventually the band hopes to lead thousands in worship. We want this not so that people know our name, but more so that we can reach a larger number of people. Being on the radio sounds good as well but again, we want to be able to invest in the lives of people to build relationships in order that those people would have a personal relationship with Christ. Because we believe that a religion is not going to get people to heaven but rather a relationship with Jesus Christ.God Struck
