Back to Ireland
We arrived home to a grey, wet Irish day after an overnight flight from Calgary. We have had an absolutely amazing time together and couldn't be more blessed and encouraged. God really has given us His favour over the past 2 weeks and we really believe that our lives have been enriched and hope that we have really encouraged the people from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. It has been an absolute privilege to work with Starfield, Unite Productions, Will Graham and all at the Billy Graham Association and the various churches and staff along the way. We feel very much part of the family and are very excited about our return visits over the next year.
Leading people in worship is an honour and we were so delighted to meet people and hear a little bit about their journey and how our songs and music had helped them. There were times when it was hard to believe how amazing our experience actually was. The opportunities to drive across the Prairies in the sun watching wild antelope, drive through the rockies and look out across Banff and the surrounding mountains, was a real treat. Each day was spent driving 2-5 hours to the venue across a stunning country and we felt stirred and prompted to worship even more in response to the landscape and how amazingly God has created and crafted Canada.
I know I have come home with a stretched heart, one that is encouraged in my personal walk with God, strengthened and blessed in the gifting he has given me and excited about the future of the band and the new songs and experiences we are going to have. I think I am speaking on behalf of David and Johnny when I say that we are soooooo blessed by the people of Canada, by God's guidance and favour, by those we got to know well and those we met for just a few moments. The support people offered us was incredible and we can only hope and pray that we have left a similar mark on peoples lives as they have on us.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. Thanks to all of you who came out to worship with us and Starfield. We really hope you will stay in touch and that our paths will meet again very soon.

I sent a note via gmail but it was great to have you in Canada. It is a grand country that must not presume that without effort, it will remain that way.
Hello!
I saw you guys (& girl) in Lethbridge (last stop of the tour!). It's been a few weeks since you were here, but I wanted to thank you for coming. You guys were such a blessing and really enjoyed your set. Come back soon!
