Day #4 His Radio Music Boat Cruise



They say all good things come to an end and I feel a bittersweet sensation at the thought this cruise is nearly over. Crew members have verbalized how this group has been different and more "decent" than many organizations that have taken over the entire boat. The casino has been largely empty and the purveyors of tropical drinks have learned to say "alcohol and no alcohol" to drum up more business. This has been a wonderful group of people with a great witness.


Today has been a more reflective day and I have so enjoyed hearing the hearts of the artists and performers that are here with us on the cruise. Today is the National Day of Prayer and many of the activities have focused on teaching and worship.


Jason McLeod (“Brock” the death crawl guy from “Facing the Giants”) shared his testimony and heart for ministry. He is one of those guys who has always been a “good kid” and even a leader in the youth group. He also loves football. Jason really did play football for four years in high school and went to college on a football scholarship. Interestingly enough he has left college because he feels the Lord wants him to go into ministry. (Right now “ministry” also includes a day job at a chicken farm!) He’s a really sweet guy and I wish the best for him.


One of the highlights of this week would have to be the artist question and answer session after lunch with Mercy Me, Audio Adrenaline, Pillar, and Fee. These guys are all “sharp” Godly men. If you think of it, be in prayer for the guys from heavy bands like Pillar and POD that have a lot of temptations that other Christian bands may not have to face openly. If it all works out I’m hoping to post a brief video of the Q&A (with my question) on the blog when we back on dry land..


Tonight it’s Mercy Me and Barlow Girl… I’d appreciate your prayers for a safe trip home. I miss you all and can’t wait to share more about how God has challenged me during this great week. If you are interested in going on the next His Radio Music Boat Cruise, it is November 8-12 and it will have three stops Nassau, CocoCay AND Key West. I also just discovered that Third Day will be on that cruise. I’d do this trip again in a heartbeat!! Check it out online at www.musicboatonline.com.
