I’m in Germany…

So, like I said, I’m in Germany. Kind of random I know, but I’m here nonetheless. I won’t be here very long though. I’m actually on my way to Budapest, which is in Hungary for those who weren’t sure. I had an hour to kill here in the airport before I get on my third and final flight of the day, so I got a tomato, mozzarella, pesto panini (which I am eating right now and it is amazing!), sat here on the floor, and I wanted to say hi to you guys. Hi.
The past 24 hours kind of feels like a dream. Last night I played at this massive outreach that happens every year in Orange County called the Harvest Crusade. It’s this amazing evangelistic ministry that’s held for three night in a row at the Aneheim Stadium. David Crowder and I played for the first night, and a ton of people came out for it, enough to give me a little bit of the butterflies. It was actually kinda surreal cuz I remember going to those crusades every year when I was a kid. Once, during my high school days, my youth group took a couple vans to it, and I remember my youth pastor telling me that I was going to play there one day. I was like, “Psh! Yeah right.” Anyway, I guess he was right after all. So that was last night. Big. Loud. A blur. Now, not even a day later, I find myself in the heart of Europe, sitting on the airport floor, minding my own business, while people from all over the world pass by occasionally glancing in my direction to check out my guitar case.
I’m on my way to Hungary to meet up with a church group that is out there serving and telling people about Jesus. I’ll be playing at some concerts/outreaches that have been put together to set up a platform for the gospel to be preached. I’ve always loved being apart of these kinds of trips. Please keep us in prayer as we bring the gospel of Jesus to many who have never heard it. It seems the enemy works extra hard against these kind of things, and the power of prayer is immeasurable. My flights boarding, and I gotta go:)
Thanks,
-phil

    I was on the net looking for guitar chords to “Fall into You” and happened to see this page!! Bless God for the work He is doing in you and through you!! I’ve been doing some studying for a course I am taking at my Bible college and have been taken by this scripture, may it bless you:

    1 Cor. 9:26 Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I buffet my body and make it my slave, lest possibly, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.

    That last line is very staggering, but may we all be encouraged on this strait and narrow path. What a glorious journey!! We have a good, good God!!

    I think “Shining” is one of my favorites… it’s from his first album, but then again, all of Phil’s music speaks to me. God bless!

    Seems a bit late to be mentioning it but myself and nine dear friends were at the concert in Budapest. We were there to support YWAM Budapeast by leading worship at 1/2 dozen street outreaches. Your concert got us all right in line with why we were there, thank you. We were uplifted, moved, convicted and inspired. Again, thank you.
