Ascend The Hill

Pura Vida

What can we say about our time in Costa Rica…other than Pura Vida! Pure Life. It’s exactly how we felt from our time there. From the hang outs, to the worship sets, the prayer ministry, to adventure sports…pure life.

Below are some photos from our trip, we didn’t take them, the ministry that hosted us put them on their site and we wanted to share them with you. If you’re ever in San Jose, you have to connect with the crew from New Life New Glory Ministries. Real people.

Enjoy the photos.

On the flight heading home from our first trip of 2013. We spent some time in Boston at a youth pastor’s training conference with the Awakening crew from Providence, always an awesome time with them!

Then we headed over to Manchester, CT with the Merge Ahead crew for Submerge. What a beautiful time of worship Saturday night with a room packed full of people hungry for an encounter with our loving Father.

We then led worship for Church of the Living God’s 3 Sunday morning services and closed out our weekend with some pretty intense Q&A time for the youth Sunday night. What happened in that 1&1/2 is nothing short of divine. To think that God sees fit to use 4 ordinary dudes who screw it up more than we care to admit is beyond us, but it was a special moment of transparency and impartation. It was beautiful.

Encouraged by our time there with so many new friends who God used to love us so well.

Heading home to sunny Tampa with full hearts.

Love.

 

Well, there’s no place like home for the holidays…indeed. We’ve been enjoying a wonderful, much needed respite from the road with our families and friends here at home in Tampa for the entire month of December!

It really has been an unbelievable year for us. Not only have we been able to stay close to home, while still traveling and ministering across the globe, and release a new full length worship album,  but we’ve been able to GIVE AWAY OVER 130,000 RECORDS IN 2012 ALONE!!!

It is just unreal to consider.

Thank you so much to everyone who believes in us, supports us, covers us in prayer and is impacted by our worship. We pray that through our humble efforts, God has been glorified and we have made much of the name of Jesus.

Wishing you a happy new year and fruitful 2013.

Here’s to dreaming big…

love,

Joel, Hayden, Jonathan & Seth.

Hey everyone, just a bit of an update! We just got home this past week from our trip to the Northeast and into Canada. This was our 3rd year at Soulfest and our 2nd time in Canada…although our first time to Montreal and Quebec City.

We had a blast!! Not only were the worship sets awesome, but we had an amazing time building/nurturing old and new relationship and we got to talk and pray with a ton of people. Really doesn’t get any better for us. We’ve included some pictures of the highlights, but we really wish we could pack you all in our luggage and let you experience all that we do when we get the opportunity to travel and worship with the body of Christ across the world. It truly is humbling and exhilarating to be used, and to see the same spirit at work at home in Tampa, Fl…and thousands of miles away in a French speaking church in Quebec. Mind boggling.

We love you all and are looking forward to a little over a month off at home with our families and local faith community Ecclesia Tampa. Please keep us in your prayers as there is a lot on the horizon for the future.

Blessings,

ATH
