Eight hours a day in planes, trains, and automobiles has left the team in a stupor. With 4000+ miles of confined spaces and expensive visits to the restroom, we have learned the truth about the morose tedium of international travel. Fortunately, our team has managed to bear our “great burden” of jet-lag, hard work, and early mornings with good humor. Mirth, happiness, and, frankly obnoxious, spurts of laughter, filled our bus ride across Germany. Then… We hit the Alps.

A mad dash ensued; everyone scrambling for cameras and views of God’s finest wrinkling of the earth. It was a sight to behold: the frenzied hunt for the perfect picture, that is. Many “wow!”s were voiced; many praises to God were spoken. And in the end, the plethora of gorgeous photos taken outweighs the many near death experiences faced by the brave photographers. The environment looked like a green screen; like something out of a movie. Blacks, greys, and whites formed a perfect picture of God’s creative glory.

The singers finished the day with a beautiful performance at the chapel of the US Army base in Garmisch, Germany. Nestled comfortably at the foot of a massive mountain, the venue was perfect, inside and out. And while the concert’s attendance was not as great as others, it was definitely the most musically solid performance the group had yet put on. No doubt, every soul present was touched by their beautiful ministry… and the view…

Reporting with wonder,
