A Tour-Ready Night at Huffman United Methodist Church
The day ended with a return to a place that has long been part of our tradition — Huffman United Methodist Church. While we usually visit in the morning, this evening stop felt just as meaningful and well-loved. The church has always been generous with their space and time, and once again they opened their doors to a full room and open hearts.
We started with a special Parent Meeting, helping families prepare for the journey ahead as Tour draws near. Then, the kids stepped into their full performance — and they did not disappoint. The energy, the emotion, and the unity of the group shone bright. You can really tell the kids are connecting to the message of the songs and the heart of the dialogues, and it's taking their performance to a whole new level.
Thank you, Huffman UMC, for being a consistent and gracious partner on our path. It’s always good to be back.

Tour Day 5 – Buffalo NY to Niagara Falls NY
One of the best parts of tour are the unplanned moments; unwritten, if you will. You may remember me talking about our friendship with Paul Lintern. Well, today Paul was helping add to the mission of tour all the way out here in Buffalo. He worked out a deal with some...
Tour Day 4 – Mansfield, OH to Baker Memorial UMC in East Aurora NY
If there is a “routine” day on tour today, was it. Up in the morning to get picked up from our host families, scrambling to get all the suitcases and sleeping bags loaded up, and rolling out of Mansfield, OH on our way to Buffalo, NY. But, of course, no day on tour is...
Tour Day 3 – Clay City, IN to Mansfield, OH – Jericho Wall & Arc Community Church
Hey Joe Town! Joseph here again. Today we pushed farther east. We saw the cities turning more and more industrial as we drove through Indianapolis. We even got to talk a little trash on the Colts as we passed Lucas Oil Stadium. This rust-belt industrialism is a...
Tour Day 2 – Rochester UMC then to Faith Southern Baptist in Clay City, IN
Here I am, Lord. Well folks, Joseph here again, and we’re in another time zone. My watch is telling me that it is 9:15, but my phone is telling me it’s 10:30… and my body is too. You can tell we are further east by more than just the move into Eastern Time, though. ...
Tour Day 1 – Send Off at AUMC & Rochester UMC in Rochester, IL
Hey everybody back in Joe Town! It’s Joseph here with our first daily blog of Tour 2023. I know you might have been expecting Matt to write these, but I mentioned interest, and he immediately challenged me to a good ol’ fashioned arm wrastle. You can obviously see...
Sing-Out #10 – Wyatt Park Christian Church – 07/09/23
To say we are grateful for what started in this church is a major understatement. Someone had the vision, and the bravery to start something that has been able to endure over a lot of challenges, and positivity. This year as we conclude our Sermon in a different...
