Wow, what an amazing 3 years it has been… 3 years! I can hardly believe it. These years have gone so quickly, but have been some of the most amazing, fun, rewarding, challenging and exciting years of my life! Being involved in ministry has taught me more than ever to trust God, to have faith that He is going to provide everything I need and that He will never leave my side. He called me into this so I know He’ll be with me every step of the way; guiding me and leading me. Sometimes I am quite good at worrying or thinking it’s not going as planned, but Gods plans are way better than my own, which is another thing I’ve learned.

Over these years in tbc we have seen well over 100,000 kids — not even including teachers and parents. All of those have heard openly about our faith and how much we love God, and how much He loves them and wants a friendship with them. We’ve had concerts where between 100-200 kids would become Christians in one gig! God has used us in ways that we couldn’t even imagine.

We’re just ordinary girls doing extraordinary things for Him, and we are weak, but with Him we are strong. We’ve had opportunities to travel (which is one of my favourite things to do) all over the UK, South Africa and America! We spent 2 weeks in South Africa, and had an overwhelming response. In one public school, after we’d done the assembly, all the students (about 1,000) started singing the worship song, ‘One Way, Jesus!’ This totally blew us away, we had to hold back the tears! And then we spent 5 weeks in America. We went to North Carolina, Georgia and Connecticut! It was such a fantastic experience, it was challenging as we were away from home for so long, but God showed us so much during the tour and hundreds were saved and saw breakthrough in their lives! We’ve been to loads of festivals and just had the chance to sing to and speak to thousands upon thousands of people.

We want to show young people that being a Christian isn’t about loads of rules and regulations that they have to follow, but it’s about having a friendship with God. He knows what they’re going through and struggling with, and wants to help them and be there for them. So many people come and go in our lives, and hearts get broken when people betray our trust, but God is the only one who will NEVER leave and will NEVER let us down. We also want to show them that Christianity is exciting, not at all boring, and it is relevant to them. There are so many other bands out there that are entirely inappropriate for young children, they are not good role models and are teaching them things that aren’t healthy, so we want to give them an alternative. We try to communicate our love for God through up-to-date chart style music, and a high energy show that is full of dancing and different ways for them to interact!

Never in my life did I think I would be able to do this: fulfilling my dreams of singing and dancing for God! It is funny how when you try to make things happen in your own strength, it doesn’t work very well and you get burnt out. But when you hand it over to God and let Him take control, things happen beyond your wildest dreams, and better than what you could ever imagine! So why don’t we ever learn our lesson? Believe me, I’m still working on that. But God is so full of grace and unconditional love for us. I know Gods plans are perfect, so I dont know how much longer He wants me to stay here, but either way I’m so looking forward to whatever He’s got planned for these next couple of years… so bring it on!
