How to Respond
Hey everybody,
I wanted to give you guys an opportunity to make an eternal impact. Most of the things we do change a moment. We play Xbox, or we order a coffee from Starbucks, or change our Facebook profile picture. They're not bad things, they just have a very small effect on the big world we live in. Like pebbles thrown in an ocean.
But what if we were given the opportunity to alter the course of history just by the click of a button? What if we threw a pebble in the ocean, and it created waves and not ripples?
We are in one of those moments right now. In fact, I would argue that we're ALWAYS in that moment, it's just that we see it a little better right now.
So, as a band we are committing to keep giving, giving, and giving. We'll give whatever amount God tells us to give, and we'll go as many places God tells us to go. We're willing to make the sacrifice, to follow in the footsteps of Jesus into the hard places. And we really want you to come along with us.
So how do we do that? Here's some advice...
1) Get on your face before God and encounter His love. Acts of service and sacrifice are just natural responses to God's love.
2) Give your money. There are problems in Haiti (and the rest of the world) that can be solved. There's great organizations that really need resources!
3) Strapped for cash? Consider doing an extra side job and donate the money. Or just sell all your unused stuff on eBay, and let your buyers know where the proceeds are going.
4) Get out of your house! Step... away... from the computer. : ) Go with your friends to a local homeless shelter and meet some people in need. Find the people that no one wants to touch or talk to, and invest time in their lives.
Come one guys, we want to go to a new level this year! We'd love for you to come back to the website and share your stories on how you've applied this.
We love you so much!

NZ Update
Hey, it's jack. I'm in the hotel right now and lee's catching some extra rest in the bed, so I'll try to type quietly. We're playing main stage at Parachute Festival tonight. It's the 20th year anniversary of this amazing event in NZ, so it should be an EPIC worship night. Especially since we're sharing the stage w/ Hillsong United and the Parachute band! Please be praying for us and we minister tonight to thousands. We long to see God glorified in this beautiful nation.
Oh... and we're playing rugby today against some Kiwis. We're going to get OWNED! We'll post more stuff when we get back to the states (the land of the free internet).
Much love.

"Follow You" Haiti Mix
We wanted to share this new mix of "Follow You" featuring quotes on the situation in Haiti created by Jason Rackow at WBGL in Champaign, IL.
During this time of great need in Haiti, we have a chance to put our faith into action and not just talk about the love of God, but show it. We want our lives to overflow with action and love to the world around us, and we hope others will join us in praying for the people of Haiti, and donating their time and money to help extend His hands and feet. -Leeland
