Whew!

Wow, what a trip. One camera, three vehicles, 17 people, 26 states (New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhoad Island, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas) 7100 miles, and well over a thousand conversations and meetings.

We visited the Cadillac Ranch, Oklahoma City bombing Memorial, Wall Builders headquarters, the Fort Worth Stockyards, Jackson Square in New Orleans, The Chickamauga Civil War Battlefield in Chattanooga, The Charleston Market, Jamestown Living Museum, Colonial Williamsburg, the Gettysburg Wax Museum, Christian Commission Museum, National Cemetery, Plymouth Rock, the Jenney Grist Mill, The Old North Church, Quincy Market, Paul Revere’s home, Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Christ Church, Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove, Times Square NYC, Statue of Liberty, Family Resource Council headquarters, U.S. Capitol, Monuments in Washington (Washington, Lincoln, FDR, Korean, WWII, and Jefferson) the Smithsonian, Creation Museum, St Louis Arch, and Main street Branson.

We road on the New Orleans Trolley, Staten Island Ferry, Philadelphia T, and the NY, Boston, and DC subways. We ate gumbo in Louisiana, pizza in New York, Steak and Cheese in Philly, chowder in Boston, shrimp on Roanoke island, chili in Cincinnati, and pork steaks in St. Louis. We sat in George Washington’s pew, held a revolutionary rifle, boarded a colonial ship, meet with the Chaplin of the Senate in his chambers, saw Chinese acrobats, watched many street performers, saw Paul Baloche and Big Daddy Weave in concert, and members of the team got to pet a Zorse, get bucked off a mechanical bull, ride a longhorn, and swim in the Atlantic Ocean.

We were interviewed by KLOVE radio, Bridge FM, CBN, and CC Magazine. We met with Mormons, Muslims, Jehovah Witnesses, Buddhists, Jews, Atheists, Agnostics, Psychics, Tarot card readers, Professors, Debate teams, homeless people, intoxicated people, Christians of every flavor, and people from Denmark, Trinidad, Spain, England, Russia, Ireland, Germany, Australia, France, and a few Americans.

We slept at a bazillion campgrounds, four churches, and one parking-lot on Staten Island. We spent uncountable hours cheek to cheek in vehicles, studying our Bibles, and reading great books. But more important than all of this, I believe we heard from God. I have heard from the team that they have been touched and challenged to live their destiny. We are not here by accident so we must live on purpose. I truly believe the trip has just begun!
