I left Montgomery at 10:00 a.m. Friday and headed to the Atlanta airport. After checking in, I went to the gate where I found most of the group. We boarded the plane and had a pretty smooth 7 ½ hour flight to Frankfurt. We landed around 7:00 a.m. local time on Saturday morning and found the weather to be cold and snowy! The drive from the airport was scenic with the snow.
After a lunch stop, we proceeded to our hotel in Koln. We had a rehearsal at a local Baptist church and then went to dinner. It was a traditional Germany “schnitzel” meal that was very good. After a LONG travel day/night, we are headed off for a night of rest! J Please continue to pray for our group that we will shine a bright witness for Christ through our ministry of music and encouragement!
It’s been a long day(s), but our tour is off to a great start. I’ll try to post an update with pictures every day. Thanks for following along! chip Check out today's video at www.e-zekiel.tv/view_video.php?viewkey=7a2b30089a025618e1c6

PS #1: TO MIKE KYSER AND THE FBC BROADCAST TEAM...with the combo of my editing deficits and the European challenges (ie: power converting, German internet service, etc.), I am aware the video is less than the FBC standard :)...we'll try to do better tomorrow!
PS:#2: It's now early Sunday morning. The first picture in this post is me and my roommate Joe Estes who is Minister of Music at FBC Trussville. To all who know (and love) me best...NO, Joe does not snore!!! We had a great (and much needed) night sleep!

Watched the video - the view of the cathedral made my breath catch. I loved the snippet of the rehearsal. What a lovely sound! Have I mentioned that I'm running a serious good music deficit? You enjoy your schnitzel while I muck down some more kimchi.

Chip, I happened to see on Facebook about your trip. I enjoyed the videos. I think your roommate's grandfather performed the marriage ceremony for my parents (more than 50 years ago) in Louisville at West Broadway BC.
