Summer Gathering/Camp Nachomamma

Posted by:

It is always a blessing to walk into a camp as totally strangers and walk away believing you’ve made life long friends. We’ve played for much bigger crowds with much sharper production and much more posh facilities, but these guys were being moved by God…and so were we. What an honor it was to spend a week with people so ready to give God everything and worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Were you there? What say you?

    Will!!! You and the guys are such blessings! Last year ya’ll really touched my life through worship.This year as well I could see you ushered us into the Presence of God. As I waited for the youth to come to the alter…I knew that the Holy Spirit was working in the hearts of those young people…and we had 7 who repented and came to Christ! Praise God!

    Well, Thanks for coming by to say goodbye this morning and for Paul, Michael, Ryan,Kyle, and Joe for coming to the bonfire.

    Wow! What can I say. I was such a cry baby this week, but the spirit of the Lord just overflowed in our camp. It was great to hear some awesome music, but more important… Will, it was awesome to worship with you. Each night the Lord blessed my heart in your worship service. I truely left Natchamama CHANGED. My chup overflows, and everytime I throw that CD on, it brings me right back to it. God bless you. Hope to see you again, and thanks for being a great “Ultimate” player.
    Your sister,

    Hey!! You guys were so amazing at Camp Natchamama!! You guys truly worshipped God and to bring us into the worship was just amazing!! As i watched the affect you guys had on all the youth i realized how much one person, or one band can change the lives of many youth!! Thank you for being our worship band and sacrificing the nice facilities for our hot, buggy camp!! HaHa! Thanks you guys rocked!!
