Playing in the Band

This is from the archives. The spring break during my senior year in college was spent with the Cedarville University Brass Choir. I play trombone.
We went to Greece for 10 days. We went to Athens, Corinth, and Thessaloniki playing for evangelical churches, accompanying a Greek evangelist who has a ministry in New York City. We were witness to so many things. This is a passage from my journal in the days followed our return to the United States.

"Reflecting on Greece, I think the experience helped me to realize how much we really need to depend on God for everything. Through the whole week we needed God for strength and intervention when we could do nothing. He was with us the whole time. He is truly there working, and though He could bring a revival through His own strength, He chooses us as instruments to sound His praise, and His message. But we must be obedient to the message and His prompting to play."
