Micah's Christmas Tour Adventure
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Micah. I have been invited to be a part of something very big and big cool. After traveling extensively for the past 4 years (over 200 dates this past year) I have been invited to join Christian Recording Artists Phil Wickham and Shane & Shane on tour for their 2014 Christmas Tour!
Woah!
It will start in Washington DC, make its way through TX, and end up with playing a few dates in California. This is a HUGE opportunity!
I need your help!
Touring is an new investment for me and after seeking wise counsel and talking with the tour manager, I'm learning what it will take to go. As an independent artist, I am having to pay for my spot on this tour and it is coming out of my own pocket and I will not get paid to be on this tour.
Here are some of the costs of the tour:
- Merchandise - to help get my music out there and also help get offset cost, I will be selling CD's, Shirts, and bracelets on the tour.
- Gas Money - This tour does is not using a tour bus so everyone is just driving to all the shows in TX. I'll be loading up "Burby" my 2000 Chevy Suburban and hitting the road to travel close to 1,000 miles around TX starting in The Woodlands then heading to Deer Park, Waco, and ending up in Dallas.
- Plane Tickets - I'll need roundtrip tickets to/from Washington DC and Southern California. Once I get to those places the tour will take care of my travel and lodging.
-There are other costs involved with touring that I'm still learning about as I go. This all might seem like a lot, but for me to be step out into this new phase of ministry as an independent artist, this is part of paying my dues. I've sought counsel and wisdom from peers in the industry on how much to raise and this is what the resounding suggestions were.
--------------------------------------------------------
After praying with my wife, we feel lead to take this opportunity and be faithful to the calling. This is such a special chance to learn firsthand from heroes in this industry and also broaden and strengthen the platform He is building with my ministry.
So...
Maybe your Sunday School Class or Small Group could collect money to help with one of the plane tickets?
Maybe you have some Frequent Flyer miles added up that you could donate to my minstry to help?
Maybe your family could pray about giving towards buying CD's that might reach hearts that need to hear the Gospel?
Maybe you could donate $5 and skip on coffee one day?
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO WILL HELP AND BE APPRECIATED!
Thanks for reading, please pray, and check back. I'll be updating as we follow and seek whatever comes next!
