    I saw you guys tonight at Busch Gardens and thought you were fantastic! “So long self” is such a powerful song, not to mention “I can only imagine” and “finally home.” I still consider myself a novice when it comes to Christian music but you are among the best. Thanks for a great evening!

    God Bless You,

    Awesome show at Busch Gardens last night!!! You are a true blessing to all who hear your music and your message! Keep sharing The Truth with all who hear you through your wonderful ministry!

  • The Yokley Girls

    You all were incredible last night. What an amazing time of worship. My three daughters and I were praising, dancing, singing and being undignified for Christ. You all are so blessed with a gift to really minister to people’s hearts. Thank you for allowing me and my girls the journey into incredible praise and glory to the Lord. God Bless you all*

  • Pat Martin

    Your show was awesome last night. The whole crowd singing Amazing Grace was truly moving. God Bless you all, and keep up your awesome work for the Lord.

  • Scott

    I want to thank you for being at Bush Gardens last night. You not only played wonderfully but what you said between songs touched my heart. As a pastor, father, and husband there are times I start to feel overwhelmed and I need to be reminded o God’s mercy for me. May God bless you as he blessed me through you last night. In Christ and God Bless you,
    Scott

  • Jennifer

    A heartfelt THANK YOU!! The worship service that you led us in last night was incredible!! It was so awesome to worship with so many. We were so blessed and appreciate your service for the kingdom!

  • Ramona

    Thanks for coming to Busch Gardens last night I was truly ministered to. What you talked about hit home. I am going through so much at this time but God IS there with me through it all.

  • Debbie

    God is good and I was able to make it to see you all last night at Busch Gardens..my Dad died a year ago on June 1,2008 it has been a confusing year it is a wonder how God uses music to speak to us and other people. Was my first time seeing you guys and it was worth the traffic and the crowd to be there. Just wished I was a giant so I could have seen better, there were a lot of tall people there who were hard to see thru..May God keep working His power through the music..Thanks so much for comming.

  • Ewa

    This was my first time attending such an event at Busch Gardens and I was blown away. It was so uplifting, words can not express how much we enjoyed your music and the praises. Both my husband and I felt as if though God was speaking directly to us through you. It was just what we needed.
    God Bless You.

  • Eric S.

    Thank you for ministering to us at B-G last night! At age 46 it was my 1st MM concert and it was such a blessing to me. I identified with Bart’s sentiments about his dad, because my father died unexpectedly when I was 17. In the years since I’ve found myself wishing he could see me graduate college & carve out a career, see my son grow up, see my daughters, meet my wife. I am sure he’d approve of all, yet I yearn for his advice on each! I did not even know about “Finally Home”. I do now, and I thank you so much for that song, as well as “Word of God Speak”.

    TJ: I am as excited to see them on Saturday as you are!! I have not seen them since last November in Iowa and am thrilled they will be in our home town!
    The crowd should be great!
    MM: Have a safe trip to Minnesota and try and do a meet/tweet? PLEEEEEAAAASSSEEEEEE? Although, I have told so many about the tweets that you may get scared?? (so, maybe not? I will sacrifice and look like an idiot for the team, if you dont have the time or your scared of us Minnesotans?) lol

    I have been waiting 3 years to see you guys in concert. Now of all times you guys were here at Busch Gardens on my birthday. The concert was sooooo amazing and sooooo powerful. You guys are such a blessing and I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday.
    I have to tell you one thing though. . . When you anounced the $5 cds that God loving crowd changed. It was awful. My husband got in line to buy me 2 of your cds and some guy shoved him out of line. When my husband said “excuse you” the man cussed him out and wouldn’t let him back into the line. Not getting the cds was not a big deal, but knowing where we were and what we were there for and that this man acted this way broke my heart. I really do wish poeple would pay attention to the way they speak to others.
    Thank you guys again for such a beautiful show!

  • Pam

    To say that your concert was amazing would be an understatement. All of your songs are awesome, but the song that hit home the most was bring rain. My brother was there with my family and both of us have being going thru alot of hard times. That song just reminded me again that this life is not about us. We are here to advance his kingdom. It is like the song says, if this trial brings honor and glory to the father i will stay longer that i need to and will praise his name while I am going through it. May God continue to bless all of you, and thank you for being obedient to him by letting him use you to minister to others. hope you will come back to busch Gardens next year

  • Marie

    I agree with Pam. Bring the Rain is a fantastic reminder that being a Christian will not always bring us perfection on Earth, but Christ is our perfection and our portion forever. The concert was God glorifying and Christ honoring. The focus was all on Him and not on us…as it should be. Thank you for the gentle reminder. My mother passed away several years ago. I have a daughter graduating this year, and I’m really missing my Mom right now. Finally Home reminds us that not only will we glorify our Father in heaven, but we have a hope and do not mourn as those without it. Thanks again.

  • Lois

    I am so thankful that I got the opportunity to be apart of the worship service in the Gardens at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It’s amazing how music can minister to your soul. It’s been days since the concert and I’m still meditating on the lyrics. They have been my heart cry.

    I thank you for making your show all about God and not about yourselves. I can see your love, joy, and peace and it’s a wonderful testimony.

    God bless you all!!

    P.S. I got the 10 CD and video combo. Thanks for the great deal!!! :-)

  • Kenneth Manuel

    Great show at Busch Gardens this past weekend. It was such a joy to see all the Christian folks that showed to worship God. It was a really meaningful time in my life. Word of God Speak and I Can Only Imagine are my favorite songs and that made my day even better. Thanks to all you do. And especially using yourselves for the glory of God. AMEN.

  • Rob Valentine

    Was at your worship concert in Williamsburg this past Sunday with my 19yr old daughter home from school. What a blessing to be with her and share Gods word and “HIS” music through you. My daughter attends Carson Newman in Tennessee and I understand some in the band are very familiar with this School. God has lead my daughter there and is doing great things in her. Your music, and words effect us so much that it moves me to get closer with God and my daughter. Mike, thanks so much for getting the guys together for the picture on the bridge with my daughter and I after you all took a ride of Griffon. And yes Mike, we are getting to old for those rides. If you are ever in Carson Newman….please contact Megan Valentine…she would love to show you all around a great Christian Campus. God bless you all and your are reaching so many souls for Chirst.

  • Tracey

    I was at Glory in the Garden Last weekend with my husband. It was amazing and powerful. Music ministers to both of us and you guys certainly did that. I cried half way home 2 hours, so touched. Jesus bring the rain has stayed on my heart since, especially when you talked about defining moments, what are we going to do when faced with difficult times or challenges….. It is so big to even try and think about, but so is our great God! Thank you to your families for their sacrifices. Blessings.

  • Jill

    Glory in the Garden was SPECTACULAR!! I agree with everyone’s comments here. I love christian music and listen to it all the time but MercyMe is by far my favorite band!! Your music is a true blessing to my soul. Music speaks to me more than anything else and being at your concert was the most wonderful and spritiual event I have been to in long time. It was beautiful how you could feel God’s presence in everything you sang. I also love how you gave God the glory and not yourself but your band exudes His presence with your glorious music. Thank you for that. I was there with my husband, my 12 year old daughter and my 17 year old son. We drove 4 1/2 hours to enjoy this special event. Being at Bush Gardens was for my kids. . . hearing you play was for myself but my whole family enjoyed it immensly. Come back this way soon, especially to the coast of North Carolina!!!
