ALONG THE WAY is a daily journal of our travels. We will share the daily happenings of the WORSHIP ONE, LOVE ALL TOUR - prayer requests, photos, event stories and more. We believe this journal will be a way for us to share our experiences with our ministry friends and family, so you can see what God is doing through us to touch the lives of others.

Day 95-96: October 15 & 16, 2011:

Tonight Brian led the Saturday night service including worship and speaking at Paradise Hills United Methodist Church. It was a night with the Holy Spirit as Brian sang. Many lives were definitely touched. Brian spoke about the importance of having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Many go to church and "Do Religion" and spend an hour a week in church but having a relationship with Him leads us to true salvation.

On Sunday morning Brian played a worship song and spoke at all (3) morning services. Brian was very authentic and his word was felt through and through by many. Brian talked a little about his own living testimony and how he came to know the Truth.

Later that evening, many returned from the morning services to hear more and those from the community as well. Brian did a worship concert and gave the entirety of his testimony. Brian knows the Truth and he wants to spread that Truth to all he can. He explained how the word "Christian" is becoming a cliche' and how a Disciple of Christ is how he defines what he is. One of Brian's songs can sum it up by saying, "Let what we do in here, spread to the streets out there." AMEN and God Bless.

Day 94: October 14, 2011:

Tonight Brian did a worship concert and spoke at Copper Pointe Church for the folks of Celebrate Recovery in Abuquerque, NM. Brian supports this ministry in all entirety and believes that everyone could benefit from being a part of it. Brian welcomed the Holy Spirit in tonight by doing "You are Welcome" as an opening worship song. Many lives were touched tonight as some accepted Christ into their lives for the first time. Brian describes it as being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to reach people in an authentic way as Jesus did so long ago.  For this reason, Brian and his wife are both Disciples of Christ.

After the event tonight, Brian and Mary Beth spoke to many hurting people and prayed with them. May God take their pain away as they walk in His path and give their pain to Him.

Special thanks to all the volunteers with this Celebrate Recovery program. They were all so accommodating and helpful during our visit to their church.

Day 90-93: October 10-13, 2011:

We woke up this morning and left Tucson, AZ. Today we traveled for most of the day while doing some site seeing along the way. We are headed to Albuquerque, NM for the week. We stopped in the Chili Pepper Captiol, Hatch, New Mexico, at a chili pepper shop. There were some very unique things to see in the shop as you can see in our pictures. We loved the cross made from red chili peppers. There were green, yellow and red peppers that they used to make decorations out of. Hatch is a very neat little town and we recommend you stop in if you are in that area.

The mountain view in Albuquerque is absolutely breathtaking. We stayed in a very nice model home furnished by a dear friend of Brian's, Miles. We want to thank Miles again for inviting us to stay here and for being so kind during our stay. The view in the morning consisted of a beautiful sunrise with hot air balloons. Albuquerque has a Hot Air Balloon Festival the first week in October so we just missed it. At night, the view from the home, overlooks the city and all the lights are just breathtaking with a faint line of mountains behind it. The weather is very nice too. There is a constant breeze and sunshine on most days. It hardly ever rains here.

We had 6 events cancel due to church and program closures in this area. It is very disheartening that this has happened, and we pray for all the folks that will be affected by this and that they find new homes soon. We also need your prayers and/or donations for our ministry as well. You can support our ministry through PayPal at brian@briannealministries.com. Also, please visit our Partner with Brian Neal Ministries video on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxADVb-olPU .

We appreciate your support and thank you for being a partner with Brian Neal Ministries.

May God Bless you ;)

Day 89: October 9, 2011:

Today we are heading to the home of Karleene Talley in Tucson, AZ for a House Concert. We are really looking forward to it and want to thank Karleene and her family for inviting us into their home not only for the concert but to stay the night as well.

Tonight's concert was very nice. Karleene had a very nice environment and set up in her backyard that was absolutely amazing with a full moon and stars as scenery with a slight breeze. Thank you for your great hospitality Karleene. We really enjoyed our time visiting with you and your boys.

Day 88: October 8, 2011:

This morning we left Prescott, AZ headed to Tucson. Again, a special thanks to Ms. Ann and Carmine for their hospitality all week. We loved being in Prescott and seeing all the beautiful sites.

Tonight Brian led worship and spoke at Northwest Community Friends Church in Tucson, AZ. A special thanks to Pastor Adam and his wife for having us over for the night in their home. We enjoyed our visit with them very much.

Day 87: October 7, 2011:

We had an off day today, so we wanted to take in all of His wonderful creations and take the time to let Him know just how much we love Him. To absorb, to breathe and just to get alone and Praise Him for all He has done for us. He has given us so many opportunities over the last few months and we know because of this we are very blessed. We have been a part of the greatest of all things possible with over 400 individuals giving their lives to Christ since we began this tour. Now they will spend an eternity with our Savior in the Heavens above. This is why we are Disciples of Christ!

God made it possible for us to spend the day hiking at Watson Lake's Mountains of Rocks; one of His most beautiful creations. He gave us the most perfect day. The skys were blue, the sun was shining, the clouds were of the Heavens, the waters were clear and blue and reflected all that was above. The rocks were placed on top of each other and balanced just so, and it is obvious that God himself  placed each one of them there. God is amazing!  Remember, God gave us all these things because He loves us and nothing can take this away ;)

Day 86: October 6, 2011:

Tonight Brian lead worship and spoke at American Evangelical Lutheran Church in Prescott, AZ. There were many people there from the Celebrate Recovery group and many hurt souls looking for the Glory of Christ. Brian opened up with "You Are Welcome" to invite the Holy Spirit into the room. He definitely was in the House tonight and everyone became ON FIRE FOR CHRIST as Brian worshiped in His name. There were at least 10 people that accepted Christ into their lives; ten more people to spend an eternity with our Savior. Yay!!!

A special thanks to all the staff there for their hospitality, especially Ms. June for inviting us there to be a part of such wonderful life changes for so many people. A special thanks also to Ms. Ann Brand for inviting us into her home. Her and Carmine were absolutely awesome while we were there. Please keep all these people in your prayers and may God give back to them as they have given to us. God is awesome!!!!

Day 81-85: October 1-5, 2011:

We have done a lot of site seeing since in Arizona. We went to Jerome and Sedona which both were absolutely beautiful. The drive up Mingus Mt. to Jerome is breathtaking. We ate at the Haunted Hamburger there which was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on The Food Network. We highly recommend. There are many shops to walk around in that contain hand made items from around that area.

Today, Monday (10/3/2011), we took Tate to the Phoenix Airport so he could go back home. We have thoroughly enjoyed having him with us on this trip and will miss him greatly.

Day 80: September 30, 2011:

This morning we left Cottonwood, AZ and headed to the Grand Canyon. It will definitely be a day spent with family as we admire one of God's greatest creations. We stopped in Flagstaff and had lunch at Olive Garden. The mountain views there are spectacular.

As we walked up to the Grand Canyon we all felt the presence of God move throughout us. Tears filled our eyes in awe of His creation. It looked unreal, like a backdrop in a movie. The colors were spectacular and the shapes cut in each rock were incredible. There is no picture that can explain the beauty and the presence of God felt while we were there. WOW! Brian explains the Grand Canyon like this, "I don't see how anyone could walk up to this Wonder of the World and still not believe that the Bible says God is the Creator."

A Big thank you to Ms. Ann Brand for opening up her home to us in Prescott, AZ this entire week.

Brian will lead worship and speak at American Evangelical Lutheran Church on Thursday night (10/6/2011) for the Celebrate Recovery group.

Day 79: September 29, 2011:

Tonight Brian led worship and spoke at the 75th Annual Celebrate Recovery Celebration at Verde Baptist Church in Cottonwood, AZ. Tonight was awesome as everyone worshiped and sang praise to the Holy Spirit. The room was filled with intense emotions as Brian sang. A special thanks to Scott and all the staff of the Celebrate Recovery group for providing us with such good hospitality. We thank you for inviting us to be a part of your celebration.

Day 78: September 28, 2011:

We are leaving Albuquerque this morning and will be heading to Casa Grande, Arizona where Brian will sing and speak for the women at the Teen Challenge Home of Hope.

Tonight God was definitely at the Home of Hope as Brian led worship. Many lives were changed tonight as several ladies accepted Christ into their lives. Everyone was very nice and made us feel very comfortable. Thank you all for setting up our room with snacks. They were very much appreciated.

Day 77: September 27, 2011:

On the road again with final destination today Albuquerque, New Mexico. The sites were absolutely amazing along the way. We saw windmills, cactus and mountains as we drove along Route 66. The further we drove into New Mexico the more mountains we saw. It is truly one of God's most amazing art works.

A special thanks to Miles Melton for allowing us to stay in one of his beautiful homes in Albuquerque. The view from this house was spectacular. We were able to watch the sunset and see the lights from the entire city after dark. Tomorrow, we head to Arizona ;)

Day 76: September 26, 2011:

Today we are heading out after being at home a few days for New Mexico and Arizona. We are so excited because Tate, our son, is coming along with us. He is 19 years old and was able to get off work to join us in experiencing God as He changes lives.

Today was a very long drive. We stopped for the night in Amarillo Texas. Tomorrow we will head to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Day 69: September 19, 2011:

We headed towards South Carolina today after spending the night in Virginia. Brian is doing a concert for the singles group, Columbia After Dark, in Columbia, SC. The concert was at Carolina Wings. We want to thank everyone for having us there and a special thanks to Owen Black for inviting us into his home for the night. We had a great time as Brian welcomed in the Holy Spirit which was felt by all. Praise God! Brian gave his testimony tonight which touched many lives; the truth is there is a God. The power of prayer is real and it moves God's hands. Please keep this group in your prayers. We enjoyed being with everyone tonight as they were such a joy to be around. We hope in the near future you all have us back. God Bless all of you!!!

Day 68: September 18, 2011:

This morning we woke up very early and headed back to Hope Valley Community Church. Brian did worship this morning at the Sunday morning service. Brian welcomed the Holy Spirit into the Church which was felt so intensely. It was definitely a great morning to worship our Lord and Savior. Special thanks to Brian for sharing his gift that God has so blessed him with.

Special thanks to Pastor Peter and all the staff and members of HVCC. We really appreciate you all  for allowing us to be a part of your church family on this day. God Bless each of you and we hope to be back again soon!!!

Let us not forget that attending our church homes weekly is only a small part of being a Disciple of Christ. It is the relationship we have with Him that is the most important. AMEN

Happy Birthday to Mary Beth!!! ;)

Day 67: September 17, 2011:

Today we headed to Red Hill, PA. Brian will be doing worship and speaking tonight for the Celebrate Recovery Group at Hope Valley Community Church.

Tonight was awesome! God was definitely in the House. Brian spoke from Mark 12:28-31.

The Greatest Commandment

²⁸ One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” ²⁹ “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.³⁰ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’³¹ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  There is no commandment greater than these.”

God definitely was working on many lives tonight. Many accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior as they let Him have their hurt. The Celebrate Recovery Group is a wonderful organization ;)

Special thanks go out to Kelsey and Aaron for inviting us into their home. We greatly appreciated it.

Day 66: September 16, 2011:

We drove all night and straight through from Louisiana. After checking into a hotel and resting up a bit, Brian did some speaking and singing at Cornerstone Community Ministries in Elizabethtown, PA. There were many youth that gave their pain and heartache to God tonight. We send out a prayer request for all of them. They are awesome kids!! Also, we would like to say thank you to the staff for welcoming us there and providing a very comfortable enviroment including lodging for us. We would love to come back soon and look forward to seeing everyone again ;) God Bless all of you at Cornerstone and keep setting the FIRE for CHRIST!!!

P.S.

The Chicken and Waffles were delicious!!!! God Bless the cook ;)

Day 65: September 15, 2011:

We left this morning heading to Pennsylvania for a few days of worship and speaking. It was a very long drive today and we are exhausted. Thank you all for the prayers as we travel along the way. There will be no stopping tonight...keep on going. God Bless you all!!!

Days 48-64: August 29-Sept 14, 2011:

We are now on a short break from events back home in Louisiana. This will be a time for rest, spending time with family and working on booking more events! If you or someone you know may be interested in booking us to come to your church soon, please give them this website so they can email us by following the icon to the left of the page; Book Brian Neal for an event...www.briannealministries.com. God Bless all of you ;)

We have been enjoying our grandson so much while we are on our break home. He is an awesome mess!

Tropical Storm Lee hit us yesterday (9-2-11); typical Louisiana summer for sure. It has been raining non-stop since, and the wind has been crazy. There are many places flooding around us but thank you God for keeping us well and safe.

Our home College Football Team, LSU TIGERS, played the OREGON DUCKS last night and WON. GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Day Forty-five: August 26, 2011:

Today we saw our family after six weeks of being on the road. We missed Kaden, our grandson, as you all know if you have been following our updates on Along the Way and Facebook. Kaden turned 3 on August 11th while we were gone. We were able to get him several things while on the road including jelly beans from the Jelly Belly factory. When he saw them he said, "Oh my gosh!" How funny is that ;) We love you Kaden!

Day Forty-four: August 25, 2011:

We made it back home to Louisiana safely last night. Thank everyone for your prayers while we were on the road. We will be home about 2.5 weeks until our next long road trip. Saturday we are heading to Mathiston, MS to Clarkson Baptist Church. Brian will speak and sing at the Sunday morning service and a concert that night. Please join us if you are in the area. We look forward to meeting everyone and to watching Jesus change many lives ;)

Today we will catch up on some busy work and wash clothes.

FAITH is not believing God can, it is knowing that God will!!!!

Day Forty-two & Forty-three: August 23-24, 2011:

Travel days....we are headed out this morning to go back home to Louisiana for a short period during the "Worship One, Love All" tour. These last 6 weeks have been awesome, and Brian has led over 250 people to Christ in this time alone. God is so amazing! It has been so incredible to reach out and touch so many lives and watch their lives change as they accept Christ into their lives. May each one of you and many more continue to reach out to God and give to Him your lives as a Living Sacrifice. The power of prayer works and it is very real. Through Brian's testimony alone...you can experience the powers of prayer and know without a doubt that God is amazing!!! Please continue to follow us on this website and Facebook as well. The mission of "Along the Way" is designed so that you can experience the Work of God with us. Brian says, "For many...you may be the closest thing to Jesus that some EVER experience."

Our trip home was about 19 hours in total over a two day period. On day Forty-three alone we crossed into 5 different states: Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana. We stopped on the first night in Sikeston, MO and had dinner at Lamberts; home of the throwing rolls. As a gentleman stated as we were walking out together, "This is something you only do once maybe twice a year." We were very full and the food was outstanding. After eating on the road it was nice to have a home cooked meal. If you have not been we definitely recommend.

We also stopped back by the Mars Cheese Castle and bought some gifts to bring back home. We couldn't leave Wisconsin without cheese ;)

The cross pictures below were actually on the side of the road as we traveled. The sky picture looked like Heaven to us so we snapped a picture of it and then after when we looked at the picture...there was the cross in front of it. God is truly amazing.

Day Forty-one: August 22, 2011:

We slept in this morning at the Beach House on Lake Michigan. The breeze coming through the windows made it so easy to do so. Today Brian prepared for a great night tonight at Bethany Church in Sheboygan, WI with the Celebrate Recovery group.

Tonight at least 10 people found Christ through Brian's words and music. Brian was led to speak about "Suicide" tonight, which hit home for many that were there. Our presence with them tonight was nothing more than the work of God. There were folks there that needed to hear what we had to say and for some meant a matter of conquering this life and turning their troubles over to God. We made many new friends here as well. Through tears, smiles and laughs many lives were changed. In God all things are possible. Brian states, "Sucicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." Live life and allow God to be your best friend. He loves each of us so much that he gave his son. When you think LIFE is not fair, take a look at the cross. God Bless.

Day Forty: August 21, 2011:

Today is Sunday, the day for the Lord! We woke up early as Brian was leading worship at both the 9:00 and 11:00 am services at The Reformed Church in Oostburg, WI.  The first service was televised..very neat. They gave us a copy of the service on CD. There were many lives touched by the Holy Spirit this morning. We appreciate the Church having us there and a special thanks to Valerie and Pastor Wayne for everything they did to accommodate us as well. A special special thank you to Rita Beth and Al for inviting us into their guest house on Lake Michigan. It is a beautiful place and another one of God's artwork that is absolutely amazing.

Day Thirty-nine: August 20, 2011:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BRIAN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!

Celebrating your Birthday on the road is not the easiest thing, but it started out very nice. The Kolbe's sang the Happy Birthday song to Brian at breakfast and gave him a card with Matt's Cookies. They are so yummy. We want to thank the Kolbe's for inviting us into their lovely home. It was like being in a Bed and Breakfast. Your hospitality is greatly appreciated and we hope to visit again soon.

We headed out of Crystal Lake, Illinois (near Chicago) very early to Sheboygan, Wisconsin where Brian would have a concert at The Upper Room.

Along the way, we stopped at Jelly Belly in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. We road a train through the plant and took a tour. It was so much fun. We felt like kids again as we wore baker caps on the tour. After the tour, we sampled every kind of jelly bean you can imagine. Brian was not brave enough to sample the "dogfood" flavor one though...LOL. Our next stop was the Mars Cheese Castle. This was our first encounter with the "Cheese State." We sampled cheeses of all sorts. We will definitely have to stop back by on our way out and pick up some gifts to bring back home.

Tonight was awesome as God was definitely in the house at The Upper Room in Sheboygan. Many people had life changing experiences and at least 5 folks found Christ. Brian gave his testimony and we all worshiped to his music that brought the Holy Spirit so in tune with many. Special thanks to Mary who is a great lady and is doing a great thing at The Upper Room. We surely hope you will have us back in the near future. Thank you for making us feel so at home with you and everyone that attended tonight. God Bless you!

Day Thirty-eight: August 19, 2011:

Along the way to Illinois, we decided to stop and do some site seeing while we could. We visited the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, IN. It was so neat to see. Geaux LSU Tigers! We also visited the Chocolate Cafe' while we were in South Bend as well. We had lunch there and had the BEST Peanut Butter Cookie drizzled with chocolate fudge ever! After leaving South Bend we could not continue on without visiting the University of Notre Dame. It is a beautiful campus ;)

We arrived at the Evangelical Free Church of Crystal Lake after a grueling 2 hour drive through Chicago. Brian ministered and worshiped with the folks from Celebrate Recovery. There were many awesome things that happened which included 8 people accepting Christ into their lives. We want to give a special thanks to The Kolbes for inviting us into their home and for their hospitality.

Day Thirty-seven: August 18, 2011:

Today we left Akron, NY and drove across NY, PA, OH and into IN. It was a long day of traveling. We ended up stopping in Elkhart, IN. and had a nice dinner at Olive Garden. Tomorrow we will head out to Chicago, IL for a ministery event.

Day Thirty-four thru Thirty-six: August 15-17, 2011:

We arrived in Akron, NY to visit with family and to take a short break from ministry events. We had a wonderful time reconnecting with family that we had not seen in awhile. It brought back a lot of old memories. We went to Niagara Falls with them and rode the Maid of the Mist boat and experienced the Falls up close and personal. God's artwork was very evident here. This is something we will remember forever. We want to give a special thanks to Phil, Emily, Eric, Kimberly, Marcus and Artie the dog for making our stay a pleasant one.

Day Thirty-three: August 14, 2011:

Today Brian led worship at the Sunday morning service at Flowing Spirit Church. Many people were touched by the Holy Spirit this morning in ways they had never known before. God was definitely working on lives this morning as Brian ministered and worshiped.

Brian also worshiped again that night with Flowing Spirit and shared a message from God's Word. After 2 weeks in the tent, it was an awesome ending for the revivial but for many a new beginning.

Day Thirty-two: August 13, 2011:

Day 3 of the Flowing Spirit Tent Revival. Many people came out for the service from the community. Brian spoke tonight about the truth and what it means to have a relationship with God. Many people go to church all their lives but do not know who He is. Brian has lead many people over the age of 75 to Christ that have gone to church all their lives but never truly had a relationship with God. Brian ministers as God's hands and feet to the religious as well as the lost.

Day Thirty-One: August 12, 2011:

Tonight was another amazing night of Worship and Ministry at Flowing Spirit. Brian brought everyone upfront with God tonight. The music was absolutely a spiritual awakening for many. There were more people tonight than last night and tomorrow night we are hoping for even more. May God continue to touch lives and make life changing adjustments as we give it all to HIM. God Bless!

Day Thirty: August 11, 2011:

Today we traveled to Shelton, CT. Brian is leading worship at Flowing Spirit Tent Services through Sunday. Tonight was awesome as always. Brian sang "You are Welcome" to start off the service to welcome the Holy Spirit in. He was definitely felt all through the night. Ron Nugent put it best, "You have to come out tonight to hear Brian Neal play guitar and Worship OUR LORD!!! This is a must hear event...A True Worship Experience." AMEN!

Day Twenty-Seven thru Twenty-Nine: August 8-10, 2011:

Off days ;) Site seeing and Traveling in Amish Country

Day Twenty-Six: August 7, 2011

We headed out to Wallingford, PA this morning with Satan at work by throwing every barrier at us he possibly could. However, in the name of Jesus Christ, we won! The service this morning at The Foundry was absolutely amazing and touched many. Brian used scripture from John 18 and spoke about The Truth. It was an eye opener for many. Special thanks to Chuck, his wife, Joy, and their 2 beautiful daughters, Sarah and Mary. God Bless you all and our prayers are with The Foundry.

Day Twenty-Four & Twenty Five: August 5-6, 2011

The last 2 nights were spent at the Crossfire Tent Meetings in Reamstown, PA. It was great to see the community come out and share with us in inviting the Holy Spirit in and worshiping in His name. Many lives were changed over these 2 nights. It was great seeing all the Crossfire kids participating as well. We believe this was an awesome mission and our blessing go out to everyone involved in making this happen. We will pray for all of them as they continue to reach out to the community and be Disciples of Christ. Special thanks to Jim and Mike for their hospitality. God Bless you and keep it going!

Day Twenty-Three: August 4, 2011

Tonight was awesome at Triple Tree Church. Everyone had a great experience welcoming the Holy Spirit with Brian as he ministered and worshiped. God was definitely in the Biker World tonight. There were many that needed prayer requests for both immediate and distant family members. God watch over these individuals and bless them with the understanding that in Jesus' name all will be well. Brian read from Mark 12:29-31, which is where the name of the tour, Worship One, Love All, is derived from. Jesus answered, "The most important command is this: 'Listen, people of Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.'The second command is this: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' There are no commands more important than these." - Mark 12:29-31 (NCV) God Bless all at Triple Tree and special thanks to Mike and Nicole for inviting us into their home and the hospitality. We enjoyed spending time with you both ;)

Day Twenty-Two: August 3, 2011

Moving on further down the road, we headed towards Pennsylvannia stopping for the day and night. We are catching up on some rest and preparing for a big night tomorrow at Triple Tree Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvannia. God Bless ;)

Day Twenty-One: August 2, 2011

We left the farm this morning in Great Falls, VA and headed towards Baltimore, MD. Satan was attacking us all day as we traveled and prepared for the event tonight. Brian said it was because awesome things were going to happen tonight, so we prayed in the name of Jesus Christ that many lives would be changed and the presence of Jesus Christ would fill everyone up with His love.

Tonight was absolutely awesome at Community Gospel Church in Pasadena, MD. People came from all over to worship with Brian and I. The Holy Spirit was definitely in the house. Many lives were changed as Brian worshiped and ministered the Word of Jesus Christ. It was very powerful.

We want to thank everyone there for inviting us into their church and community. The love and hospitality was so awesome. A special thanks to Linda and John. We hope to see you all again really soon. God Bless each of you.

Day Twenty: August 1, 2011

Today was an "off day." Brian and I caught up on a lot of work today and went into town in Sterling, VA for Starbucks. It was very nice. Then, we went back to the farm and walked around. We saw a lot of deer and a huge hawk.

In the evening, we enjoyed spending time with Julia, since it would be our last night with her this trip. We really want to thank her for everything. Our stay on the farm was very peaceful.

Day Nineteen: July 31, 2011

Finally, we were able to sleep in. We took our time getting up, which was very nice for a change. Brian and I hopped in the car and went to Starbucks for some morning coffee. After returning to the farm house, Julia surprised us with Mary Beth's first cousins, Stephen and Beverly at the house. It had been many many years since she saw them as well. It was a very nice reunion. Who would have thought they lived only an hour away ;) We hope to visit them in Culpepper, VA soon.

We went and had a very nice lunch together with all of them and caught up on so many stories from Mary Beth's past. It was really an awesome day.

Day Eighteen: July 30, 2011

Today was an "off day." We woke up this morning and had breakfast with Deborah and Mitch. The French Toast was absolutely yummy. Special thanks to both of them for inviting us into their home and making us feel so comfortable. God Bless them and their families.

After breakfast, we headed to Virginia to see Julia Runnels. Mary Beth had not seen her since she was a little girl. We are very excited to reunite. Along the way, we stopped in Leesburg, VA., which was founded in 1758. We went to a few old antique shops and had a very nice lunch. It was absolutely beautiful. Later that evening, we arrived at Julia's to an old farm house built in 1750. It is awesome to just be there. Brian and I saw deer and a fox when we arrived. They play in the land around the house. It is so neat to sleep in a house this old and think about all the history there. We want to thank Julia for her hospitality.

Day Seventeen: July 29, 2011

We took off for Allentown, PA today for an event at the Kingdom Roadhouse.

It was absolutely awesome and everyone was so friendly. Brian did many worship songs and even a few new ones that he wrote himself. One of the songs was "Love Her Like Jesus," which is a song he wrote about his wife. It has truly been a big hit at all the events on this tour so far. Brian plans to record it very soon and hopefully while on tour. In the meantime, you can find it on you tube. Make sure you let us know how you like it.

Special thanks to Deborah and Mitch for inviting us into their home and making us feel so comfortable. They ordered pizza and it was sooo yummy. We hope to come back again soon ;)

Day Sixteen: July 28, 2011

First off, Happy Birthday Brian. Today marks 14 years since the day he became a disciple of Jesus Christ. You are truly His hands and feet with many across the world. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing! Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we travel on this tour.

Tonight was absolutely awesome with the middle schoolers at Crossfire. What an amazing group of kids. God was definitely in the house tonight as Brian worshiped and spoke to them about having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Lives were definitely changed as His presence was felt so intensely. Praise God!

We are really looking forward to coming back next week for the Tent Meetings on Friday and Saturday night with Crossfire. The folks here are doing a wonderful job in reaching out to the community, especially the kids that are crying out for help. Whether it is just because they need a warm smile, a hug or a father/mother figure to listen...its amazing. May God be with each of you as you continue to minister in His name.

Day Fifteen: July 27, 2011

We woke up this morning and headed to Hershey, PA. The sites there made you stop and thank God for his creations. Wow! We visited the Hershey Story Museum, which was absolutely awesome. We recommend! Of course, we had to go shopping for our grandson in the Hershey shop before leaving. We miss our Kaden very much ;)

Tonight was amazing. It is wonderful how God works through so many directions. The folks at Crossfire are so blessed in being God's hands and feet. They work with children from all over the area, and it really shows in their little faces. The kids are awesome and you can see the flow of the Holy Sprit in them.

Day Fourteen: July 26, 2011

We spent most of the day on the road to Akron, PA from Connecticut. The power of prayer is working,because God is keeping us safe as we travel. Thank you for all the prayers.

We had a great night of ministry with the staff and students in Akron, PA. Tonight, many lives were touch by the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Everyone on staff and the youth are awesome people. We thank all of you for making our stay with you comfortable. We are already looking forward to seeing you all again in October.

Day Thirteen: July 25, 2011

We woke up this morning and left Attleboro, Massachusetts. As far as site seeing on this tour, it was an awesome day. We began by visiting Walden Pond; home of Henry David Thoreau and his famous short story, Life In the Woods. We walked the paths both in the woods and along the pond. In fact, we even got in the pond ;) It is absolutely beautiful here and very very tranquil. It was so neat to stand on the grounds where Thoreau possibly slept and even wrote one of his famous short stories. We took lots of pictures and posted them on Mary Beth's facebook. Please visit our albumn there titled "Worship One, Love All."

On the way back from Walden Pond, we traveled through Rhode Island and Connecticut along the coast on Route 1. The sites along the way are breathtaking. The older home structures, especially the Victorian style homes, are beautiful and some of them date back to the 1600's. In Preston, Connecticut, we stumbled upon something that was very familiar to both of us; The Norwich State Mental Hospital, located on Thames River. We had seen this hospital on Ghost Hunters not long ago. It is considered the United States most active hospital for paranormal activity. It was so creepy to actually be up close to it.

It was a long drive along the coast today so we arrived in Wallingford, CT fairly late and very tired. Tomorrow we will drive to Pennsylvania for an event tomorrow night.

Day Twelve: July 24, 2011

We had a full day today! God was working so powerfully as we felt his presence this morning during service at Good News Bible Temple in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Brian sang, "For the Glory of Christ," sending the Holy Spirit through everyone. Tonight, Brian worshiped by praising our Lord and Savior in concert at this same church. There was an ambiance in the room that was very inviting. Brian sang a song that he recently wrote called, "Love Her Like Jesus." He wrote this for his wife and it tells a story of a dream he had about her father. After the concert, many came up to us wanting to know which CD it was on. Looks like Brian needs to record this song soon!

A BIG thank you again to Linda and Jim and their children for opening up their home to us. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our visit with them a lot. The picture below is of their cat "Duke." He is a mess for sure AND a Harley Davidson Bike Cat at that. LOL

Tomorrow we will travel all day and head to Connecticut. It will be a much needed "off day" for us. Please keep us in your prayers as well travel. The power of prayer is so real ;)

Day Eleven: July 23, 2011

After a much needed night's rest in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, we headed to Memorial Baptist Church in Seekonk, MA. Brian worshiped under a beautiful Copper Beech Tree that we were told dates back to the age of the town itself. We were told that the town was founded in the late 1600's. It is the oldest tree in Seekonk. Everyone tonight was so friendly, and we would like to say a special thanks to Mr. Bruce Potter for his warm hospitality and to all the folks that attended and joined us in worship.

We were invited by Jim and Linda Amara of North Attleboro, MA, to spend the weekend with them here. We appreciate and thank them so very much for going far and beyond to make us feel at home and as comfy as possible. It was very nice to spend time with them telling stories of God ;) Tomorrow morning Brian will sing at Good News Bible Temple at their Sunday morning service and then back again tomorrow night to do a concert. God is really doing some awesome things on our travels, and we look forward to all that is still to come!

Day Ten: July 22, 2011

This isn't goodbye Camp Fair Haven, it's until we meet again. Everyone was absolutely amazing and we thank you so much for your hospitality during our stay. We sure hope everyone keeps in touch with us and don't forget to request us on Facebook as well. Our cabin was very nice and the view from it was spectacular. We definitely enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Hopefully we will be back next summer ;)

It was the hottest day yet here in Brooks, Maine. Campers were busy saying goodbyes and getting packed to go back home. Brian did some worship songs and thanked God for an absolutely amazing week. God Bless all the teens and staff at Fair Haven Camp.

After a long day and packing up all our equipment, we were on the road again. Tonight we stopped in Tewksbury, Massachusetts for the night. After roughing it all week with no air conditioner, a nice hotel was definitely on the agenda. Tomorrow we will be heading out again and look forward to ministering God's word in new and familiar places.

Day Nine: July 21, 2011

Today we went to Camden, Maine. It is a very old town with the most beautiful homes. On the bay, you will find many large sailboats and yachts. The water is so blue and beautiful. We walked around and went to several shops to look around. We absolutely enjoyed it and the time just spending with each other.

Tonight was our last night at Camp Fair Haven. It was an awesome night of worship and ministry. Brian gave the teens the option of writing down things they were going to do for God and/or negative things they needed to let go of. Then everyone went outside and put them in a pit so they could set them on fire and watch as these things went up in flames; an offering to God. After the flames went up, you could hear silence in the air. It was incredible. At this moment, one by one, several teens shared their stories and thanked Brian for bringing them closer to God and in some cases, for finding Him. There were  a lot of tears shed this week during chapel. Teens got on their knees at the altar and prayed and many accepted Christ. Totally awesome week ;)

Day Eight: July 20, 2011

Brian and I went canoeing on the lake at Camp Fair Haven this morning. The weather was very nice today. There was a nice breeze and perfect for enjoying the outdoors. While canoeing we saw some awesome sites. There were two loons playing in the water and diving for fish. The noises they make are so unique. It was so peaceful to be the only ones in the middle of the lake and look around at all the wonderful creations that God has given us. We were surrounded by mountains and at the very top of one was a cross...so beautiful to say the least.

Tonight was very hot during chapel. Brian asked everyone to take a moment and ask God if He would bring coolness to the air. It was amazing, because within minutes, the room became cool and a breeze could be felt. The power of prayer is so real. Brian ministered this same thing tonight.

Day Seven: July 19, 2011

Tonight Brian spoke on "Hell" and the reality of it. It was very intense and could be felt across the entire room. Everyone was very attentative as he spoke about the realization that if we do not accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, this place will become our final destination. He also shared it is our job to assist God and be His hands and feet in saving the world from this horrible place. God is working here at Camp Fair Haven. Many teens are already changing their lifestyles and views on God. God is good!

Today, Brian and I visited the town of Belfast. We had a nice lunch at Sengs Thai Restaurant. The view was spectacular as it overlooked the bay. We watched sailboats sail across the ocean. We feel so blessed to see God's beautiful creations ;)

Day Six: July 18, 2011

Another awesome day and night at Fair Haven Camp. Last night Brian's words touched many as campers came to the alter on their knees to pray. Brian spoke about how there is power in prayer and prayer moves God's hands.

Day Five: July 17, 2011

Up early! We headed for Brooks, Maine today. We saw deer standing on the side of the highway in Connecticut, and the traffic did not even bother them. You could tell they were very use to it. The countryside was absolutely amazing. We traveled through Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and then FINALLY Maine. We arrived at Fair Haven campground where we will spend the next week. Brian will be doing worship and ministry twice daily. Tonight was wonderful. Everyone at the camp greeted us with a warm welcome. It is great to see how so many people are working hand in hand to serve God through such a wonderful mission. All the campers are amazing. They range from the ages of 12-19. We look forward to the week and changing many lives.

Brian is speaking on Revolution which is hitting home to many. There were 40+ campers that came down during the invitation at the end of the service tonight. We are doing our best to be God's hands and feet. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Day Four: July 16, 2011

Heading towards Maine today for a camp all week. We left Pennsylvania around 2:00 pm after rearraging and packing the car. The drive today was once again long but we saw so many neat things along the way. We went through New Jersey, New York and stopped over night in Hartford, Connecticut. We went through several turnpikes too. We went across the Hudson River Bridge and could see New York City from the top. It was beautiful.

Day Three: July 15, 2011

We had a late start today and a long drive ahead of us to Pennsylvania from Knoxville, TN. Of course, our first stop would be Pigeon Forge, so Brian and I could get a cup of Starbucks before moving on. The view is absolutely breathtaking. There was a lot of tourist on the road today, especially since it is the start of the weekend. We traveled through Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland along the way.

Day Two: July 14, 2011

We got up very early to head to Knoxville for worship and speaking at the Church Street United Methodist Church. It was a long drive today but we saw a lot of beautiful sites. The Smoky Mountains were absolutely breathtaking. Both Brian and I love this part of the country more than anything. We had a great time worshiping with the Singles Group at the church that evening. They were all very kind people and Brian and I both want to thank Pastor Chuck for his hospitality.

Day One: July 13, 2011

Today was the first day of the Worship One, Love All Tour! We started it off by traveling to Columbus, Mississippi with rain and lightening along the way. It was all and all a good drive though. Brian did worship and ministry with the youth group at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. They were all awesome and we hope to return again soon! Moving on, tomorrow we head to Knoxville, Tennessee bright and early.
