Well, it's tour time again for Wind Ensemble.  We are about to embark on a 3 day, 6 concert tour of schools and churches in Nairobi.   We will be able to speak freely about our theme at all 6 venues.   The theme for this year's tour is "Believing the Promises, Revealing the Lies".  We are looking at the promises that God gives us and the lies that Satan tries to tell us.  We are hoping that through our music and the students testimonies that we will encourage our audiences.    Our prayer request is that as we go, we would truly embrace the promises of God in our own hearts.   We would ask for prayers for safe travel.  The last 2 years we have had accidents in the buses.  No one has been injured but these accidents have delayed concerts and been very expensive.   We would also ask for prayer that the students will be able to focus.  We normally go on tour the weekend before mid term but this year's calendar had to be changed. This past weekend all the students went off campus for midterm. (We posted photos in the family section of our adventures)  The senior class is returning today from their "senior safari" to the beach.   They arrive tonight, have classes tomorrow, 2 rehearsals  and we leave Friday Morning for tour.    We have tried to learn 5 new pieces in 6 weeks of rehearsals so the students will need to be very focused not to mention the conductor :-)  I still have many things to master in my conducting of this music as well as devotional thoughts for concerts.    Thanks for your prayers.
