Gates Wide....Tag Team....2 Locations

Gates Wide was split this past weekend on Friday night as Adam performed at the Blue Moon Cafe in Eufaula, AL and Kevin spent his night with the youth of West View Baptist Church.

Adam enjoyed his night with the crowd that gathered at the Blue Moon Cafe in Eufaula as he packed the house at one point with 30 to 40 people packing the small cafe. Adam performed several original songs as well as a few covers for the ones who were in attendance. Fun times at the Blue Moon Cafe.

Kevin also had a great night at West View Baptist in Enterprise, AL as 25 youth came to have a night of fun and fellowship and faith building. The night started with food which is always good and the standards were provided from two of the major food groups....pizza and hot dogs! My favorite was a dish prepared by a couple of adults who were in attendance....Sausage Stuff!!! I believe I could have just ingested Sausage Stuff and that would have been enough to sustain me for several days. And yes I walked away with the ingredients and preparation instructions!!! Following the food, Rick Hayes...the pastor...had the youth do an ice breaker game which was a lot of fun. The youth drew a picture of one member of the group they were placed in and tried to have the best, most recognizable picture. Once the ice breaker was complete and voting on the best picture completed, one of the youth shared a testimony of her struggles with her walk with the Lord. It was a riveting and moving testimony that left most in tears or at least having to choke back tears. My time of the service immediately followed the testimony and I had to switch gears to accommodate for the great words of hope that were shared from this 14 year old girl. I performed a couple of original songs that helped the words she shared sink a little deeper as they were appropriate for her testimony. You know what time was next....ah yes....it's worship time, baby!!! We danced, we sang, we shared!!! The message also went over really well as their hearts were already softened to receive the word. Once the night was complete many were crying again as the entire group circled and prayed and leaned on each other. It was truly an awesome night.

Gates Wide is off again this next week...I am sure we will practice a couple times this week but I will keep you posted.
