Oh NO!!
Hey guys! SO sorry we didn't blog the last day of GMA and we haven't since.
Let me catch you up!!
The last day of GMA (for us) was Wednesday. We did the Objective with the Extreme Tour and it was a 5 hour workshop. Allan got to share with everyone what God has put on his heart, about the body of Christ Today and what God is bringing us into. How to walk the walk and talk the talk, serving, living, and eating the word of God.
It was so powerful and I think a lot of people had revelation.
God is really bringing out the gift of healing in us all. That day we had our workshop 2 people were healed from pain in their bodies. Later that night we went back to the house we were staying at (thanks Michelle!) and really just soaked in the presence of God. We prayed over Michelle and God healed her from pain she had for years! How awesome is that!? He is giving us just a taste of what his kingdom is really like. No sickness, no pain!!! We Got to bless our friends Ian and Elysa Hellermann and pray over them! They are such a sweet couple and God is really going to bring them into an intimate relationship with him! It was such a sweet time in the presence of our king. We know God is going to bring us deeper and deeper every day we press in.
The following day was our day to hit the road and head back to Texas, but before we did we stopped to check out some tour buses. Man they're so cool!! What a way to travel, Luxury!! We left Nashville around 2 or 3pm and headed for Texas it was a long trip but we all got to look back at what God had done and set a goal to pursue him even more for our next trips.
So we're home and boy have we been busy!?! Those of us with work or school had to jump back (quickly) into our normal schedules but at the same time prepare for our next trip! IT's crazy! We leave this Monday for Colorado Springs! We'll be visiting with some family in friends up there to touch base and then we'll be headed to Utah for a conference. God is going to move and bring us to a new level of faith, love, intimacy, and gifts the next few months.
Please continue to pray for finances and provision for our band. We have the Faith and we see him being faithful and a blessing to our family and community. Don't forget our Cd is available and hopefully soon we'll have the full length! WoohoO!!!
Please feel free to e-mail us, comment, find us on facebook or myspace so we can keep touch with our community out there!

GMA Day
Today was the first day we spent at the Nashville Convention Ctr where GMA is held.
We were all dressed to the nines and within 5 minutes we had an interview with Russia's JCTV. It was so awesome!
We got to see some old friends i.e Tre from P.O.D, Pastor Sammy Palermo with Heirchex Digital Services etc. Pastor Sammy spoke some words over Hunter and I (Saphraine) and it was great, God is working in the most random ways it's so beautiful to see him move through and in us.
After spending some time with GMA friends, visiting with new ones, and spreading the word about our ministry, we did another interview for gospelreggae.com. They cover reggaecentric news and information in the Christian Music Industry. (awesome!)
Allan (Papa) got to meet Phil Keaggy for the first time! How exciting is that! According to Allan he is "A guitar god!" He is so intuned with the Heart of God in his music that it was such an honor for him to meet him.
We 'enjoyed' a little bit of Toby Mac's show with his new Ministry E-Raced bringing DiverCITY together. We danced a little bit to their music for fun but unfortunately they aren't exactly our kind of flava.
After enjoying coffee with our new friends Ian and Elyssa Hellermann (Ian is the man that manifested healing at last years GMA with my papa) we came back to our humble aboad (for the week) and we're all watching a movie. It's great to be in community and enjoy friends wherever we go!
We are so blessed to be here and God is providing every day for us. He is so gracious to us!

Nashville Experience
Hey Everybody!!
We made it to Nashville, Tennessee!!
Sunday Night (last night) we got to minister at The Foundry in Downtown Nashville. Before our set even started Hunter and I (saphraine) got to speak with a young girl Cassie, we got to share with her about our ministry. It was so exciting to meet young people with a heart for the nations and that have such a passion for the Lord.
She explained to us some pain she's been having in her wrist and Corin and I offered to pray for her. It was so amazing to feel the fire of God coming on us and filling her arm with the Holy Spirit. She said the pain had decreased and the movement came back into her wrist! God is at work in the young people of this nation. He is raising all of us as believers to be passionate and practice our Healing and Prophetic gifts. How exciting is it to see the Lord work in us!
I got to share some prophetic words I had with some of the young women in this ministry. It was amazing to feel the Lord work through me again, it was something that I haven't experienced since Cyprus and I love that God is bringing this passion back and strengthening my gifts!
After we prayed for some of them they offered to pray over Corin, Joey and I, we were so blessed with some of the words they gave us confirming things that have already been spoken over us. Saying we are forerunners and we aren't alone in this crazy walk with God. That he is bringing us into a season of discomfort and it will be uneasy but He is always there and WILL always be there with us. How GOOD is our God to confirm these words!
After they prayed for us we went on stage to enter into worship as Men As Trees Walking.
Our first show I think went pretty well! We of course had some mess ups but I felt the spirit of the Lord in our music and he touched my life deeply. Broke my heart (like always) for this nation and the Body of Christ. I was so blessed to have unashamed tears, and to express my love for the Lord!
Afterwards we opened up for Prayer, we got to pray over some amazing people that are going full heartedly after Gods own heart. People who were joining with us to see this Nation fallow him!
We also met a family called The Lacks who are also a family band! It's so crazy what God is doing right now. So many people joining with their families and leaving their 'normal' lives behind to do this 'music' thing. God is calling us to much deeper place and bringing people along side us to do this thing! It's amazing how many people are out there experiencing the same things we are!
We got to pray over their family and bless them. They are so hungry for God and his gifts. Things we have experienced we were able to share with them. We got to pray over them the blessings and provision the Lord has placed in our lives. They are such a wonderful Family and God is going to do mighty things in them! We had dinner with them and got to share our lives with them until 3 in the morning!
We know the Lord will bring our families together and we will for sure keep in touch with them.
Today (monday) we are going out to Nashville to GMA! Seeing some old friends and sharing about our ministry to everyone we meet! We pray God will continue to use us for healing, and sharing with others.
God is already blessing us here in Nashville and it hasn't even been 24 hours! Heaven is opening up over us everywhere we go!
We'll be sharing as much of this trip as possible so come back to check out what happens. God is moving here and we're changing the atmosphere!!

Testing one, two, three...
Deuteronomy 26:5-8 Then, in the presence of ADONAI your God, you are to say, 'My ancestor was a nomad from Aram. He went down into Egypt few in number and stayed. There he became a great, strong, populous nation. But the Egyptians treated us badly; they oppressed us and imposed harsh slavery on us. So we cried out to ADONAI, the God of our ancestors. ADONAI heard us and saw our misery, toil and oppression; and ADONAI brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with great terror, and with signs and wonders.
