Old Home Week

That’s a phrase my Mama used to describe reconnecting with long time or “old friends”! Friends that feel like “home.”

Well, I have been having “old home week” at the LifeWay Kids Conference all week. What a blessing to see people you have partnered with in ministry for so many years. To remember and reflect on all the amazing things you have seen the Lord do… together!

With my buddy, Jason Smith, after my VBS class

I was also excited to make a lot of new friends as well. My class on Monday was so much fun! It was packed full of incredible people who were ready to rock it! :smile:

My desire is for a class like that to feel more like a worship time than a training time, and that’s exactly what it was. We spent two hours celebrating God’s awesome power and declaring His power over our lives!

On Tuesday we had a flash mob performance of the Amazing Wonders Aviation Theme Song before the general session started. It was so great!

That night I drove to New Albany, MS to perform with my Aunt Linda for a breast cancer awareness luncheon. She gave her testimony and we played and sang to a packed house.

She was such an inspiration to the ladies, many of whom were cancer survivors. There were also many there just beginning their journey into treatment.

Linda had them all belly laughing as she recounted her journey and shared some of her secrets to beating stage 4 breast cancer TWO times: to keep laughing and stay positive! She gave all glory to the Lord for His awesome power and faithfulness.

That’s been the theme of this week! :smile:

    Jeff, my mom was at the luncheon and enjoyed your family’s songs and of course, Linda’s testimony. She loves Linda and told me how hard she laughed as well as how beautiful the singing was. Just wanted to share that with you. Hope you enjoyed your time with family in my home town. :)

    Hey Jeff,
    Bobbie and I wanted to thank you again for the great time we had at Lifeway KMC this week.

    The blessing that you spoke over us was just what we needed to hear. It meant a great deal to us.

    What is an email address that I can send a picture of us to? We still want to have you come see us some time in Oklahoma.

    God Bless,

    Tony & Bobbie Back

    Wish I’d know about the luncheon! Love Mrs. Linda! My mom had breast cancer twice before it turned into lung cancer and she lost that battle just after Christmas last year. Maybe next time I will hear about the luncheon and get to attend!
