Proof of Purchase is our student worship band for the summer!

Yes, that's right! They were in the NYC! They played at an inner city rescue mission and also at the Empire State Building!

Here's a brief update from Corbin (guitarist/vocalist) on what happened at their shows:

Good morning, everyone. Today marks our first full week of touring.

Tonight, we will be worshiping God at a homeless shelter in New York City. We're all looking forward to this because we will be able to spread the gospel to new ears.

To get you up to date, we began our tour in Ohio. Proof of Purchase was able to fellowship with staff at King's Domain Camp.

We joined about 20 staff in the evening, and also after breakfast the next day. After the evening session, one staff came forward to a director and confessed some sin that was going on in his life. He was moved by the Holy Spirit, and didn't feel he deserved to be in this position at camp. The director took this in grace and love, and talked it over with him.

Please pray for all the staff at KD, that they would be open and let the Holy Spirit work through them like this young man. We will be heading back to King's Domain this weekend to join with all the staff and also the campers!


The Second stop of tour was Philadelphia, PA. The Bethel Temple took us in with the most loving hospitality. I felt like family the minute I stepped into the church.

The church held 2 services Sunday morning in which at least 200 people attended all together.

Also, a large youth group from North Carolina worshiped with us there. Please pray for this group as they complete their mission in Philly. Pray also that God would continue to use Bethel Temple for His glory, reaching out to the community in love. I know He will.


Sunday night we started toward NYC, until some of our housing plans fell through. At that time, we pulled up to a gas station in New Jersey to figure out our next course of action. Everyone thank Tom in marketing for opening his home to our group. We were blessed to stay in his home 2 nights, and then in a hotel 2 nights.

Monday night POP joined with the summer project Tribeca at King's College, located in the basement of the Empire State Building. There we joined with about 70 college age students, or freshly graduated adults. The team took extra time to praise God through the Psalms before leading others in worship.

For the past couple of days, we have taken the opportunity to explore the city. We've met a lot of new people, including past Keynote staff. And through meeting the city and it's people, and think we're better equipped to relate to those at the shelter tonight.

God bless you all, and see you in another week,

Corbin and Proof of Purchase
