Hey Everyone!
I pray you all have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!!
Well, we’ve been traveling in Europe for the last 2 1/2 months and now I’m getting ready to come back to the U.S. for our Christmas Tour and I can’t wait!! It’s been an interesting time over here and I am so thankful for all of the experiences and opportunities that we’ve had. Getting to write songs in a 16th century church in the middle of Florence, Italy, doing concerts with Christian artists from all over Europe, and leading a small church in worship every week–these are just a few of the highlights that have made this an incredibly memorable journey.
I’m returning refreshed and inspired and full of new song ideas that I can’t wait for you to hear on the next album. And, the instrumental album that I’ve been dreaming about for years will be produced in the next few months, thanks to the wonderful inspiration from Italy.
Most of all, I can’t wait to get back for my favorite season of the year…Christmas, and get to share our Christmas Tour with all of you. We’ve been working on the show and it’s going to be great! This will be my first Christmas Tour ever, and I feel fortunate to share it with the guys from Downhere and Alli Rogers, all incredible musicians.
When I was young, my dad would always take us kids to a Christmas show and I looked forward to it each year. I want to make that a tradition in my family too, and I want to share that experience with all of you.
Hope to see you all at one of the upcoming shows!
God Bless,
Mark

Hi, Mark.
The teens from my church are some of your biggest fans. I’m looking forward to meeting you this tour. I have been friends with downhere for a few years. The closest show to me is Kernersville NC.
Congratulations on the awesome time in Europe. To God be the Glory. I’ll never forget the moments that were life changing for me while I took my parents to the Holy Land in 1999. There’s just “something” about that place.
See ya…
Love in Christ,
Jack
Do you have a tour in Florida scheduled in 2011? Thanks
I listen to Christian music all the time, but am especially drawn to the words of your music. I’ve seen you a couple of times in Texas, and am amazed how wonderful your music is with just a piano! No fancy band. Love your sense of humor too. God bless your family, and your ministry. My family is going through a tough time right now, and your music inspires us all. Thank you.
well i don’t think you’ll get this little letter of thanks but my 2 favorite words are faith and hope. I would like to thank you for your beautiful music.
