4 City Christmas Tour

 Hey Friends,

I guess we ended up with a mini Christmas tour this year. 1 date grew to 2, then 3, and now we are ending it with number 4 shortly before Christmas. We are celebrating the Joy of Christmas through song. 

We could have added more dates. I know we had some requests for other services. Due to my recent surgery, I only felt comfortable staying closer to home for this tour. 

The final countdown is on. It is an exciting time, but nerve-racking as well. We are working hard to prepare. It is coming down to the wire. 

We have 2 Christmas services this weekend. Both Friday and Saturday nights, we will also be joined by Bro. Colton Deane of Cantonment, Florida. We are so excited to sing with Colton. He is exceptionally talented!

A huge blessing for us this tour; since we are close to home, our band from DRPC has agreed to do most of these services with us. Mom and I are thrilled. That helps us tremendously. These 3 gentleman are like family to us, and we work together so often. It is extremely fun to make music with them!

Please keep us in your prayers. Stay tuned. I will recap each tour stop in a blog post. 

Thank you for reading. Hope we can see you soon.

Isaacs Christmas Concert 2025 Centerville, OH

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by to visit. Did you see my post yesterday? I had pics from being with the Isaacs and Jason Crabb last month. Check it out HERE.

Last night, we also got to be with The Isaacs locally. I have anticipated this concert for a year. As soon as it was announced last December, I put it on our schedule.  

This was a Christmas concert put on by Strictly Gospel at Sinclair Community College, Centerville campus. This one was close to home. We had lots of family and friends there. It was great to experience this incredible night with everyone.

The Isaacs did a phenomenal job! I am amazed every time! An Isaacs Christmas concert is another level of magnificent!!

The concert was an hour and a half of amazing music and singing. All good things must come to an end, but I was nowhere near ready for the night to end!

Here are pictures from last night’s concert. Thank you to Bro. Michael Alexander for contributing some of these pics. I hope you enjoy!

Isaacs and Jason Crabb 11/15 Waverly Ohio

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by today. Please keep praying for the requests I wrote about HERE  yesterday.

Our Aunt Carol Montgomery really needs prayer today. The doctors decided yesterday that she was not a candidate for open-heart surgery. Today, they are supposed to be doing surgery to try to put a stent in.  It is a risky surgery. We are praying for good results. 

Here is a PSA reminder for my local Ohio readers. Tonight is the Isaacs Christmas concert in Centerville, OH. Doors open at 6, and the concert is at 7. Tickets are still available HERE.  

I am doing a bit of a Flashback Friday today. The second Saturday of November, Mom and I traveled to Waverly, Ohio. 

Jason Crabb and The Isaacs were both singing at a concert that night. We had a fabulous day and night. We got to see some friends along the way.

I never got the pictures from that concert up on the blog. So I am remedying that now.

The buses 

The Isaacs are now sponsored by Icee. This was our first time seeing the bus officially wrapped. It is so cool!

I love my Ben!

Meet and greet time. 

Jason Crabb's sound guy came and introduced himself. This is David Mann of The Mann Clan. His family has also evangelized in a bus. We have known of them for years. Visiting a lot of the same churches and sharing friends, but never officially met them. 

His Dad, also named David, was driving Jason's bus that weekend. We were able to meet him too. It was neat to officially meet up with them. 

Dad had discussed bus stuff on the phone with Bro. Mann, but they never got to meet in person. 

My friend Andi was there to see the Isaacs too. We bond over our mutual love for the Isaacs. 

Jason Crabb time. 

Jason's daughter Ashley and her husband were with him. They are both very talented. 

The Isaacs time. 

Jason Crabb and The Isaacs both on stage to end the night. 

That wraps up a fabulous night in Waverly, Ohio. Stay tuned for more Isaacs pics tomorrow.
