The Lifesong Tour, featuring Casting Crowns, Nichole Nordeman, Josh Bates and speaker Tony Nolan, just wrapped up after 3 months, 47 cities, and major ministry impact.
The tour allowed the artists to see over 43,000 decisions for Christ and 12,000 World Vision kids find sponsors. Casting Crowns lead singer Mark Hall recalls, "We prayed for three things to happen on the Lifesong Tour: that people would come to know Jesus, that believers would grow closer to Jesus, and that they would walk away challenged to find their ministry in the body of Christ. God was honored and Jesus was lifted up and He let us be a part of what He is doing in 84 cities."
Nichole Nordeman adds, "It was a great experience to see so many people over much of the country, these past several months. I'm not sure when I have enjoyed playing music live as much as I did on this tour... I felt as though I hit the lottery every night playing with such amazing players. God was, as He always is, faithful to show Himself to me in very new and unlikely ways...and I am richer for the experience."
"It was awesome to see that Casting Crowns' individual lives for God offstage are just as powerful as their collective music onstage," notes Josh Bates. "It was a real encouragement to my personal walk with God just to get to be with them on the road as my friends and for me to be a part of this tour."
Guest speaker and tour pastor Tony Nolan states, "Casting Crowns has redefined what it means to be a Christian artist. God was so thick in every venue and we saw over 43,000 decisions made for Jesus with over 85% of those being for salvation. Glory to God." The buzz in each market was electric and exceptional numbers helped make the Lifesong Tour one of the most successful bills of the spring. "The Lifesong Tour was the most well attended Christian event in this park's history," said Brian Davis, Promotions Manager, Six Flags New England. "Six Flags New England creates family fun and fond memories by providing our guests with a diverse entertainment package. Casting Crowns exceeded all expectation, delivering an unforgettable and powerful performance."
