New Kid on the Block!

WOW!! What can I say, I am truly blessed to be a part of TST. Talk about a culture change! I come from a city with a population of 100,000 people and businesses that are piled on top of each other all cramped together, to a population of only 20,000 and everything is so spread out. Also the the different word phrases such as "mash a button" instead of "push a button", or "Coke", could be either, Pepsi, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, or even just Coke! It's all new to me. I understand about 3/4 of what people say around me. I have to ask them to repeat themselves at least 2 times! Boy, have I got a lot to learn! Well, I am always ready for a challenge. I've been reassured by Barry, Jill, and Dedra, that I will be understanding this language in a couple of months. I was even told I would be speaking it as well. We'll see!

I would like to thank you all for welcoming me to the TST. I appreciate your encouragements!! It gives me great joy to know that I am accepted into a truly anointed ministry. I'm looking forward to seeing what GOD is gonna do through TST.

I've been in GA now for almost 3 weeks, and am having the time of my life! I am currently staying with Barry and Jill who have lovingly welcomed me into their home. They are the best!! And mom, you don't have to worry, I've been helping around the house! I even cooked dinner the other night, and cleaned up afterwards! lol

I've been looking for a job for almost 2 weeks now. The job market is real low here in Carrollton, but I know I cannot-I mean will not give up. So I've been relying on that for help. Plus I've had such uplifting words from friends and family. I'm heavily relying on the scripture found in Philippians 4:13, "...I CAN do ALL things through CHRIST which strengtheneth me...." Please keep me in your prayers.

Also, please keep the TST in your prayers. We want to go full force for GOD. We know that we have a calling and want to fulfill it! We want to see God move like we've never seen before. TST truly believes in the power behind the music. GOD'S POWER! Music is great, but when you put with it HIS Mercy, Love, Forgiveness, Peace, Protection, what HE'S done, and what HE'S gonna do? Man oh man, you can't tell me that someones not gonna get blessed!


Well, this is where I stop for now. Keep reading up on where we've been, where we're going, and what's happening. God Bless you all, and please come see us in your area. WE'D LOVE TO MEET YOU!!!

What a week-

We have just returned from the 2nd Annual "Gloryland Gospel Cruise." What a week...
This year's cruise took us to Key West and Nassau Bahamas. Unfortunately the weather was cold- in the 60's all week. Despite the cold weather, we had a tremendous time! The worship services and concerts were amazing. God moved all week long. There were a lot of talented groups on board the ship this year (Carnival's Fascination). We enjoyed the fellowship of the guests and other artists and certianly enjoyed the shore excursions in Key West and Nassau. Make plans to join us for next year's cruise! We truly have an awesome time and turn that cruise ship into a "Good Ole Gospel Ship."
This week was Angie's first official week with TST and she did an outstanding job. She sang under the anointing and was well received by everyone. Be sure to come out next time we are in your area and hear the new sound.

Stay encouraged this week, God has been so good to each of us. Remember, He woke us up this morning, put air in our lungs and started us on our way. He is so deserving of every ounce of Praise that we can send up! My prayer is that God would put someone in our path this week that we can be a witness to. Now more than ever, Let's spread the Good News of Jesus Christ!

Until HE Comes,
Barry
