Day 16- July 31st – The Warehouse – Roxboro, NC
Posted By: Jesse
We awoke around twelve thirty this morning drained from the ten plus hours of driving we had done the previous day, and really starting to feel the effects of 15 days on the road!!! After packing the truck for the millionth time we headed out on what was going to be one of the final legs of the tour. After one lunch stop at chick-fil-a, and a short hike we arrived in Roxboro at the Warehouse. The day went by much to quickly. It was so great getting to spend another day with all my dear friends who I had spent every waking moment of this summer with until tour started. For those of you who are a little lost right now, the “Warehouse” is a youth center that was started by Youth for Christ of Roxboro this summer. It is where I had the privilege to intern this summer. This tour was very near and dear to my heart for many reasons. First, of all because it was spent with three of my best friends, whom I love dearly. Second because it has been an elusive dream of mine and Aaron’s since we first picked up instruments, a dream we have finally been able to see come to fruition. And third because the way it started and ended. We started the tour playing at the Master’s Inn Camp where I spent all last summer working as a youth counselor, and we ended the tour as you already know in Roxboro with all my kids and newfound partners and co-laborers in ministry. We spent time with all the kids and hung out for what only seemed like minutes, and then played our hearts out. This has been an amazing tour, seeing the generosity of others and how God has blessed us so richly as a band has been overwhelming. Growing together with other believers in Christ whom we met and found strength and encouragement in along the way, and every night joining with my fellow band mates in some of the most passionate and intimate worship that I have ever felt with my creator is simply indescribable in human language. I thank everyone so much…for those we met who blessed us is so many ways, and to those who supported us physically and spiritually. But most of all I thank God for the way he has so richly blessed me when I am so undeserving. This summer truly has been amazing!!!
With A Heartfelt Thanks,
Jesse
