Blue Cloud...

...and Crazy Creek gettin their groove on at the Celebrity Theatre.



When we went on that six week mission trip w/Native Praise Gospel Band my road name was Rainbow Rainbow. We caravanned in four cars...throughout Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma...and everywhere in between....using walkie talkies to communicate while in transit. "Rainbow Rainbow needs to pullover again for another pit stop." What a fun trip!

We slept in guest rooms, church basements and even on the floor of a Victory Outreach. It was the first time in our lives when being "white" placed us outside of already determined circles. I'll never forget arriving at a home and hearing.... "What are these white kids doing in my house?"..... when the patriarch of the family entered the room. He might've been joking....but he was serious. Also, hearing all about "white" churches for the first time. What an education. Breaking through barriers wasn't the easiest thing to do...but once the Lord tumbled walls...life long friends were made.

We all learned a lot about grace on that trip.
