Comments:
Thank you all for coming out today. This has helped me more than you will ever know. May God bless you all in everything --Tabitha
I have been a Christian for a long time, but find myself falling sometimes. Programs like yours are uplifting and remind me of who I am and why I'm here! Thank you! --Jessica
"Thank you. Your testimony gave me some things to think about. I have accepted Jesus in my life, but I have fallen from having a strong relationship with the Lord. I want to build my relationship with Him." --Victoria (wanted to join Bible study)
"The band today has really made everything that I have gone through make a ton of sense and I would like to thank you for that." --Daniel (Accepted Christ)
"I'm very happy I came today. I feel like today marks the day I start living my life for God." -- Alishia (Accepted Christ)

Awesome. Thank you for opening a Jew's eyes to the love of Jesus. -- Jaquelyn
***WOW!***
You were the highlight of my basic [training] experience. --Amanda
You guys were amazing. Awesome. I cried but had a great time! Thank you! I have been a spiritual person all my life...your words today brought me back closer to God. --Megan
I loved the show and the spiritual comments touched me heart and soul. I say that because although I believe in God your group made me really think about wanting to go more in depth with my Lord Jesus Christ. --Tameisha
Concert was really motivating. It really got me in touch with God and really opened my eyes for life. --Eric
Loved the show. We really needed that. I feel so homesick and remembering God loves me was a good feeling. --Tracy
It was a very inspirational show and helped relieve a lot of worries and fears being here in the Army. --Sara
I loved you guys. It's one of the first times I've smiled since last week. Thank you so much. --Matthew
And the best comment I've ever gotten on my playing:
Drums were the best I've heard live --EmmitWOW! I'm glad you think so Emmit, 'cause I know I'm not the best drums I've heard live!
I don't share that comment to boast, but I share that because I'm humbled. I KNOW that I, myself, am not the best drums to be heard live. But to know that I'm one that sticks out in his mind as the best he's heard live is really humbling. It signifies to me just how much the concert meant to these soldiers and how it touched their lives. I don't think I'll ever forget it for the rest of my life.
Thanks Emmit. And we're praying for you wherever you go in the future. We pray for your safety, protection, and salvation to be in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
Have an awesome weekend everybody!
