Diehard Mission Trip

[This is the same note I wrote on facebook. Don't mind me.]

An opportunity to be serving together in another country (but not too far from the good ole U.S. of A) has come up and I seriously want each of you to pray about it. It's been a dream of ours and we can finally combine the world of Music and Missions through the Diehards!

In the Christmas season, the group that goes will be serving with my dad's ministry in Nuevo Laredo (right on the border) with mission churchplants in the skirts of the city, in some of the most impoverished areas I've ever been in. This is a place where people like you and I live in houses made of cardboard and loose tin, with doors made from rags. We all know some of the darkest times in our lives can been the holidays whether we've lost a loved one or are far from family. Some don't have blankets to keep them warm or food to eat during these times and it can be a devestating time for many! Worse is that many die in the cold nights without ever hearing the name of Jesus!

On the nights we will be in these churchplant areas, we will be creating an atmosphere in which the Gospel of Jesus Christ can be shared, either corporately or individually. We will be helping feed the hundreds that are not used to smelling food in their neighborhood and happen to walk by in curiosity. We will be encouraging the local missionaries and believers to continue to store up treasures in heaven by serving in the hungry places with selfless faith.

Dates: December 19-23.
Cost: Estimate $250-$300

Share this with your crew. Maybe take some bands to Mexico? I dunno.

Contact me if you're interested. I'm pretty much heading the logistics of this. I'll give you more information once you and I talk. Holler at me, playas.

Long Time, No Talk

Hello to all out there in blogger world :) Sorry we've been gone awhile. While you think summertime may allow us to slow down & breathe, it doesn't. School starts in 2.5 weeks and then we will be back in a regular routine & all back in Nashville, to slowly get things going again with The Diehards.

In the mean time, be sure to pick up both This Beautiful Republic's & Family Force 5's new albums on August 19th if we don't talk before then.
