Balans Club Gig Pix - Istanbul, Turkey

On Wednesday night, while in Turkey, we did a club show. With Chris and Jordan not with us, we got some great help from a fill in drummer named Samuel! Thanks Samuel! (Samuel doesn't speak English and we don't speak Turkish, so it was pretty interesting getting the material together!)

To our knowledge, this was the first "praise and worship" gig in a secular venue in modern Turkish history! It's hard to know if this is absolutely true, but a great crowd showed up and a very cool time was had by all!

We hope to come back and do another show some day, but with the whole band next time!

Enjoy the pix!

Hope you're finally over jetlag.... It's a killer, going westward, eh? Thanks for coming to IGA, our school in Istanbul. The music was great...even without Rick's (broken) guitar. Thanks, too, for being honest and real during the question and answer time. Encouraging to know that you struggle with motives and priorities and getting time in with God--just like we do. Oh...and thanks for shooting baskets with the kids and putting your hands in the paint to leave your "marks" forever (or at least as long as we are still using the building). "Yine sizi bekliyoruz." (We are waiting for your return.)

Have a great Christmas with your friends and families. God bless!

Cool! If it's really the first "praise and worship" gig in Turkey... awesome! By the way, hope and pray you'll be able to have a concert here in the Philippines. Amen to that! ^__^ God bless!
