Summer Tour



Glenda and I want to thank each of you that have prayed for and supported this ministry through the years. Many have asked us, "How can you make it on the road like you do? How are you funded?" Those are fair questions and our answer is "WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!" We all know the Lord uses people to keep this ministry operating. I've never seen it rain dollar bills but Hey, the Lord could do that as well! We know He used a fish, a donkey and a bird... He even said, "If my people don't praise me then the rocks will cry out." We have such an Awesome God! In the Spring of 2008 our family heeded the call of the Lord to step out in faith and go and give a drink of fresh water to a spiritually dry America. So we stepped out of the boat and into the scary, exciting waters. Yes we were terrified with fear many times saying, "GOD ARE YOU SURE? Did you know the economy was going to take a nose dive?" But He spoke clearly to our hearts. And so the journey continues to go forward as we fully trust in HIM. We have spent over 20 months in the past two years living in our RV with over 40 thousand road miles. We get to come home to Utah and recharge about every 3 months for a few weeks. It's like a hug from heaven to be refreshed and restored by family and friends so we can go out again to reach as many as possible while we can.

We would like to ask you to help us reach lives for JESUS. We know you are not able to travel on the road with us, but by standing with us and beside us, you are paving the way one mile at a time. You are being God's hands extended. When you give to this ministry, you are making a difference and standing in the gap for us. When you stretch out a hand to us, it only takes a little to DO SO MUCH FOR HIS GLORY when we do it together.

We are traveling in the southern parts of the USA this summer with over 6000 miles of driving. If 100 people would help us with a $25 dollar, one time gift, our diesel fuel would be covered for this tour. There are a few options to help you give: #1) you can send your tax exempt gift to Blastoff Music Ministries, 1482 N 175 E, Layton, Utah 84041 or #2) You can go to blastoffmusic.org and donate online.

We are truly blessed to be able to do what we are doing. We are giving a cup of water in JESUS NAME and we are seeing the Lord restore LIVES.

We Love you all and thank you for loving us,

GREG, GLENDA AND ANNA BOSTOCK

Providence Fellowship in Toney, Alabama






It was great seeing our friends at Providence Fellowship this year and spending time with our Mission Vietnam cohort and buddy, Pastor Mark Beaird and his precious family. It was probably one of the tightest spaces to fit our setup into, but it was a special and intimate time with the sweet presence of the Holy Spirit. The congregation here is small in number but great in vision and know how to persevere in God's strength and power. Our dear friends the "Hell Fighters" joined us and brought strength and support to us, hearts of worship and they packed the place out! It was a wonderful time all together!

This week we are getting geared up for Maxwell Baptist Church in Belvidere, Tennessee. Please keep the ministry in prayer. We know that our strength comes from the Lord and that the enemy is fighting every step of the way. Our kids Richie and Michelle and the grandbabies are in Utah this week while we are in Alabama. Sometimes life seems so unfair. We really miss our kids and those babies, but we know the God has called us to go touch lives for His glory. We still have a Sunday in June to fill on this tour and need to fill some dates in the fall. Please pray with us for the right doors to open up. God is in control!

Woodmont Baptist Church Florence Alabama






We had a great time visiting our friends Ron and Claudia Moody that live in Florence, Alabama. They've been part of the Mission Vietnam team and a wonderful part of our lives for several years now. We ministered this past Friday night at their home church Woodmont Baptist, sponsored by their singles ministries groups and had a great time. What a great group of people. There's nothing quite like singing our version of "Sweet Home" in the state of Alabama! Our friend Wade Franks came over from Huntsville and shared some of his story from being in the battle that took place on Hamburger Hill in Vietnam. Wade lost many of his dear friends on the mountain and nearly lost his own. He was shot in the hip and thought for sure he would not make it down the mountain that morning. Another American GI looked at his wound and said, "Boy you just gotta hole in you! You can make it down this hill!" Those words gave Wade the strength and courage to get up and move. Today Wade Franks is one of God's giant killers. When he preaches, all ears tune in to hear what he has to share. The Lord has given Wade a special anointing like no other. To learn more about Wade and his wife Gail, visit www.wadefranks.org. We are very excited to work with Mission Vietnam and let our Vietnam Veterans know that they didn't fight in that war in vain. God Almighty hears the heart's cry of his people all over this earth and in the country of Vietnam today many lives are coming to Jesus Christ.

Welcome home Vets!

Church on the Hill Berryville, Arkansas






When I was a teenager in Buhl, Idaho, Pastor Keith & Carol Butler were pastors at Calvary Assembly of God. After 30 years they were able to reunite. The Butler's children, Craig and Christa were around ages 4 and 6 last time I saw them and had no idea that a third child even existed. Just like Anna, their son Kent came along 13 years after their next youngest. Greg and Anna were able to meet them for the first time, though it felt like we were all already family . Keith and Carol have been pastoring here in Berryville, Arkansas for 30 years...WOW! That is so awesome, and they have a wonderful congregation. This opportunity was a God connection and an empowering start for this tour. Pastor Keith and Carol are the kind of people that truly love people, and seek to follow God's will for their live and the lives of those they shepherd and we love them dearly.

Not having Mike and Janice Kennedy with us has been an adjustment in filling the holes that they so beautifully filled. We miss their fun personalities and incredible servant hearts, but know that God has wonderful things in store for their new ministry opportunities. In order to fill some of the practical roles like carrying heavy equipment in and out of the church and set up, we have asked the churches to help by providing helpers. A huge thank you to the Butlers and their incredible team of people here with nothing less than servant hearts! Set up and tear down were amazingly smooth and skillful as these precious people jumped in and even knew what they were doing. God is so good and provides all that we have need of.

Life Church of the Magic Valley





We so enjoy our time at Life Church of the Magic Valley on May 2nd in Jerome, Idaho This church has a real hunger for the move of God in their lives. We love the way they worship and seek the face of God. Pastor Kevin and Allison are doing a great job. We then headed out on our Summer Tour to Berryville, Arkansas
