The New Year with Purpose

Looking back over 2013 proves to me we’re on track with God’s purpose for us as a band. There were some amazing opportunities for us to share the Good News outside the traditional walls of the Faith.

One such opportunity was to play at the local shopping mall. We setup in the food court area and were allowed to play Christian music for two hours! We met some wonderful people there. Not only did we make new friends, we shared the most important message of our lives with people walking by the stage. God confirmed to us His purpose through a young lady from upstate New York who was passing by on the Interstate and decided she was hungry and would go to the food court at the mall. Now people there are at least 15 places to eat before you come to the mall!

She told us she was visiting Liberty University in Virginia and was driving home. When she entered the mall, she told her mother she could hear Christian music. Her mother said that was highly unlikely. As she made her way to the food court the music became clearer and her heart jumped! She said she knew God wanted her to go to Liberty University because in the most unlikely of places God was waiting for her! The song we were singing at the time spoke confirmed to her God’s plan for her.

Now the God thing was as a band we prayed before the event that God would reveal to us that we heard Him correctly and were obedient to His desire for us. We asked specifically that someone would come forward with confirmation. He meet our hearts desire through this young lady and so many others. What a privilege it is to be a part of UpFront!

2014 is shaping up to be another year of bringing hope to a hurting world. We’ve made some changes to improve our presentation of that message and have invested our time and resources to that end. Our single desire as a band is to bring Glory to God and to share the Hope we have in Christ Jesus.

We hope you make it out to one of our events and get a chance to get to know one another! Until then, be blessed.
