This tour was packaged together to reach an audience that most likely doesn't set foot in the local church regularly.  Disciple, Project 86, Children 18:3 & speaker/live art performer Eric Samuel Timm hit the road with us for 12 days and the tour was a tremendous success!  Nearly 1,700 Book of Hopes were handed out to people raising their hands making a commitment to Christ and 1,036 of them completed a response card with their contact info and turned it into us.  The local promoters in each city along side of us are now following up with those who made decisions as they begin their new journey!

DISCIPLE:   After more than 15 years of playing together, Disciple doesn’t just rock harder than most bands—they work harder than most of them, too. Southern Hospitality, the band’s third album with INO Records, finds the Knoxville, Tenn. band using change as a catalyst to re-think the entire way that they make music.
The bar for Southern Hospitality is set pretty high. The band’s last record, 2006’s Scars Remain, took the band to heights that few Christian hard rock bands have reached. The single “After The World” topped the CHR charts for two weeks, and the album won the GMA Dove Award for “Rock Album of the Year.” The band also saw their music break into a whole new audience with exposure on shows like NFL’s “Total Axxess,” WWE’s “Cyber Sunday” and “Best Damn Sports Show.”
While the band enjoys getting their music to the masses, they’ve never lost their focus on the Christian community. “Christian music changed my life,” Young says. “It’s important to me now because it was important to me as a teenager. A youth pastor introduced me to Christian rock music, and it really became something that I fell in love with. I fell in love with the music, but the message led me to Jesus. I was a Christian before, but I wasn’t really following Jesus before. Christian music had a huge impact on leading me to follow Him.”
It is for that reason that Young and the rest of Disciple have pushed themselves with Southern Hospitality. “Once you’ve written so many songs, it’s easy to run out of ideas,” says Young, the band’s solo lyricist. “In order to remain real, you have to stretch out a bit. I think we’ve written more relevant songs than ever before.”

PROJECT 86:   One thing about Project 86 is certain--The band has staying power. In fact one could argue that Project 86 has become the blueprint for bands seeking longevity in an industry that is anything but stable. Through perseverance and determination Project has been able to do what few bands ever can: Create their own signature sound while reinventing themselves along the way. After 13 years together, and over 350,000 career albums sold, the group just released their 7th full length album titled Picket Fence Cartel on July 14, 2009.

CHILDREN 18:3:  The place: a farmhouse outside a tiny town of little consequence in rural Minnesota. The players: three siblings--two males, one female--with the given name of Hostetter, each possessing complimentary skill of extraordinary potential. The motive: to combat the stale, ordinary, and predictable nature of popular rock music wrought of the unimaginative. The result: an undeniable sound backed by an undeniably unique persona.

Three kids born and raised on a farm in Minnesota? Playing rock music? Writing amazing songs with thought-provoking ferocity? Destroying stages?

Are you kidding?

No.

On the right side of the stage you see David, the eldest, lead vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist. Long black locks swirl around piercing eyes that bleed black mascara. Sleeveless, torn, jean-jacketed, a vision of a classic era, spirit of ʻ77. On the left side of the stage sister Lee Marie swings her bass high above her platinum blonde maelstrom, supported by white high-heels. She screams with lipstick-laden vocal yelps and finger-points to the sky. And behind, brother Seth twirls his sticks and bashes in rhythm to complete the whirlwind that is...Children 18:3.

ERIC SAMUEL TIMM:   He’s part artist, part speaker, and all passion – this is what gives Reverend Eric Samuel Timm relevance in today’s changing landscape. Speaking, painting and performing to hundreds of thousands each year, Eric captivates his audiences with a unique communication style and unforgettable one-of-a-kind live art performances. He is sought after for his ability to present God's truth in ways that are attractive to both the church and people who aren’t in a current relationship with Christ. Eric stirs up what lays dormant and leaves his audience inspired. When Eric speaks, people listen; when Eric paints, people see worship differently. Eric resides north of Minneapolis MN
