What an honor to present the UniShow at LeTourneau University for the second year in a row! The beautiful, state-of-the-art Belcher Center was packed for this all school chapel.
Students were very responsive and we had a great time. Afterward, the director of Fine Arts was highly complimentary about our presentation and message delivery. Katie and Misun even had students wanting to know how to get their costumes.
Here's our new promo video where most of the footage came from our event at LeTourneau: https://youtu.be/zYBwl4c4ULg
UniShow Universe Launches in Florida
Down the road at First Baptist Church of Belleview Florida, we presented a community outreach event. There was a great turnout for this UniShow Universe Spectacular and we received much encouraging feedback afterward about the creative delivery of testimonies and the Gospel.
This church has a serious follow-up program and will be contacting each person who indicated a response to the Gospel invitation.
Moving on to Texas, we had the privilege of presenting a chapel at LeTourneau University in Longview. This was an especially meaningful event since Dustin’s dad and brother both attended LeTourneau in the 60’s and 80’s. They have a state-of-the-art theater with a beautiful stage which was a treat to perform on. It was fun to see posters in the wings of others who have shared this stage: Stomp, Lord of the Dance, Charlie Daniel’s Band, Jewel, Beach Boys, Drakeford, Rick Springfield, Rend Collective, The Oak Ridge Boys, Casting Crowns, Brian Regan and Lecrae to name a few.
A group of high school juniors were on campus for a preview day and joined the chapel. Advisers told us afterward that they are always nervous bringing potential students into chapel wondering what impression it will give the students. They said this was the best chapel they’ve ever had for a preview day and they wished we could present every time since we knocked it out of the park.
It was encouraging to later receive this feedback from the chapel coordinator: "What a great, energetic, nail-biting experience, that also took time to share about the importance of salvation with Jesus on the cross. Such a powerful and relatable message for students and adults alike!"
We loaded the trailer afterward in the biggest thunderstorm and downpour we’ve ever packed up in. Our equipment was completely soaked, not to mention us and those helping. That night we filled our hotel room with unicycles, packing blankets, equipment bags and clothes drying around the room.
Because of friends we met and served with in Egypt over the years who live in Texas, we were invited to present at First Baptist School in Dallas. We arrived at the school before daylight to set up for a bright and early assembly. The students were enthusiastic and on their feet at times jumping up and down in excitement. We love sharing a message of hope with all these students.
Here's a recap video of this USA tour January - March 2018:
On March 30th we presented our last UniShow of the month which brought the total of events this month to 25. This goes down in history as our busiest month of ministry in the USA so far. We thank God for opening doors and for using our friend Mark, with Adventures in Missions, to make so many connections.
This last March UniShow was for an all school chapel at Plainview Christian Academy in Plainview TX.
Afterward students of all ages approached us with encouraging feedback about the presentation and message. After we packed up, as we ate lunch in the teachers lounge, a high school student sought us out wanting to hear more about how to use his abilities to serve God. It was exciting to meet this young man eager to make his life count for eternity and a privilege to be able to pray for him and speak more into his life. "We were so impressed with Dustin's phenomenal skills and abilities, how the intensity and pace of the program held the attention of our kids, and how his stories and comments gave the kids a great example of spiritual depth." - Teacher at Plainview Christian Academy
