Alive And Well On The Road

The Indescribable Tour has a breather today in Ann Arbor on the way to Saginaw tomorrow night. Four straight nights made for a quick start and we are all (especially the crew) ready for a break...if only a short one. We met new friends and saw some old ones in Wexford, PA, last night and sensed through the night that God's Spirit was powerfully at work.

But one of the most encouraging things about the night was the report we received from DC that a friend of one of the guys on our team came to Christ as a result of what God did there Saturday night. Right on! We have all been praying each step of the way that these nights will be more than just a "great experience," but that the Kingdom will come in power and that supernatural things will happen in our midst. As we gather for prayer before each night and seek God together, it's not enough for us that people come to a concert/worship gathering, we really do want God to open our eyes to the staggering glory and grace of Jesus Christ. What a privilege.

Thanks for your prayers as we seek to serve Him!
Louie

PS-For those of you who follow the Blog comments, we do see the criticism I/Passion receives from time to time. Though completely mystified by conclusions some draw that are so far away from what is in our hearts, the best way to respond is directly with the person if possible and not on the Blog. After all, the biblical approach is to first go to people privately with disagreements and concerns. I think we (our hearts and motives) are transparent to most of you as we seek to inspire a generation to live for God's fame and spread His name to the ends of the earth. Let's pursue loving Jesus and telling people about Him...and let that be our focus.

  • You guys are just so amazing... everything that you are doing for God's glory is so amazing and is a blessing to me and I'm sure to the many people who are seeing you guys each night and reading this blog every day as well. Louie, I can't thank you enough for who you are and the heart that you have for college students... you are truly one of the best communicators out there and God teaches me something new everytime you teach. Thanks so much for all that you guys are doing and we're looking forward to you coming to Athens in a few short weeks!

  • At church last Wednesday we were watching one of Louie's DVDs about your boat ride when you thought you lost Shelley...and your strong tour guide. My small group girls just loved that story and how you related it back to God!...well and of course I loved it too!

  • Louie I love how much you encourage college students! God uses you in amazing ways and we are all blessed! I especially love how you seem to find encouragement from us. You aren't underestimating of us and know what our generation is capable of accomplishing. It's good to know that when the rest of the world has just assumed that college students are only interested in partying and "livin it up"(for the world), that there is someone who is challenging us to "live it up" for JESUS! And that is where the true satisfaction is! So thanks!

  • Thank you so much for your ministry to me in Columbia on Thursday night. I was able to attend Passion06 and coming back to my local church, I had a difficult time describing the atmosphere of worship, but God allowed me to take 23 others with me down to Columbia for the Indescribable tour... What an AWESOME GOD we serve, thank you for communicating that in such a powerful way. If I could have picked which message I wanted my fellow worshippers to hear it would have been that one Louie. I am praying that our indescribable God will continue to put a new song in your mouths, that you may lead others to the throne of grace.

  • Louie, be encouraged my brother! There are thousands of people backing you up in prayer! God has used You greatly in my life. Obviously the glory there goes to God! Let Him keep You humble and completely dependant on Him! Don't listen to those who question Your motives. Kepp a heart that longs for God's glory and He will continue to shine through You! Don't mean to sound preachy. You are a blessing my brother! I pray encouragement and the power of the sweet Holy Spirit upon you today. The Lord has led me to seek Him and prayer and fasting today. I will lift you and the guys up throughout this day! Gratefully Yours!

  • I love when people have opinions and then hide behind "anonymous". I particularly loved the comment about "all Louie does is tell stories"....so did another guy-his name was Jesus. They were called parables back then. Today they are illustrations. I think the worst place somebody can be is criticizing a ministry that God obviously has his fingerprint on. Philippians 2:14...NO COMPLAINING!
    Louie, looking forward to South Bend!

  • Hi guys, it is great to read this from Australia and know that while we may have different views on many things and you may spell and speak words in strange ways and play strange sports, the one thing that is not different is the army of Christians. It's amazing to know that while there are so many things different, there is this unstoppable unity.
    I will continue to pray for the Passion movement even though I have no hope of getting to any of your gatherings in the US any time soon. I'm also guessing there aren't any plans to bring any Passion tours to Australia, but who cares? You are doing what God needs you to do and that is good enough!

    Having said that, I think many people could be reached if the Tomlin/Redman/Giglio trio were to do the Indescribable tour over here. Oh, and please release the first iTunes bundle to the Australian Music Store!

  • Amen. (to the comment about occasional criticism. I think it is so wack, and if someone has time to do that, they need to find something better to do - themselves - for God, honestly.)

    Thanks for all you do for God and furthering the Kingdom!
