Church on the Hill Berryville Arkansas











We made it to Berryville, Arkansas late Friday evening after two days (one 14 hour and one 9 hour day) of travel. God is so precious! Our first stop, after only 3 weeks home from the last tour, was with Pastor Keith and Carol Butler. God knew how to refresh and encourage us to gear up for the road so quickly. The Butlers are a treasure and a rare find. They have been friends of our family for 35 years. In the late 70's to the early 80's they pastored Buhl Calvary Assembly of God, the city where we grew up and went to high school. They moved to Berryville to pastor Church on the Hill and have been here ever since. This church is one of those churches in America that truly love people. Pastor Keith and Carol just celebrated their 30th year here and you can see why people just won't let them go because they are true shepherds and love their congregation. We had a beautiful time in ministry Sunday morning with Pastors, wonderful leaders and their amazing church family. Sunday night Greg and I were given a special opportunity to share our hearts. Greg spoke to the men, and Glenda to the women. It was a precious time together with each group and helped us stretch and minister out of our comfort zone. Speaking of getting out of our comfort zone, Anna played her guitar for the very first time and did such an awesome job! It is so neat to see her grow in the Lord with the gifts she's been given.
Thank you Pastor Keith and Carol for being so amazing!

Clearfield Community Church









Getting to be home for about three weeks between tours was not as long as we had hoped for but had some great ministry while we were home. We ministered at Clearfield Community Church on Wednesday night and had a beautiful time in the presence of the Lord and also got to be with many wonderful friends. It was so great to have Rachael (our daughter) signing to our songs. We sure miss having our girls and their husbands on stage with us but we know God is using them mighty for His glory. We than headed out for Berryville, Arkansas on Thursday morning at 5am and drove 900 miles to Lincoln, Nebraska, than the next morning another 400 miles to Berryville. Thank you all for your prayers and support as we trust in the Lord to do wonderful things on this next tour in the south.

Roy Calvary Christian Center







Getting to minister in Roy Utah was pretty cool. I (Greg) was raised in this town when I was a young boy. We had a good time yesterday at this small congregation in Roy. We believe the Lord spoke to many hearts about following Him with heart and soul. It was great to see our great friends Jeff and Tina Nistler and their children, also there was a family that came that I went to Jr high with back in the 70s. Thanks Pastor John and Carol for opening your doors to let us come and share the love and hope in Jesus Christ. This Wednesday night we will be at Clearfield Community Church at 7pm and than we head out Thursday morning for a 1300 hundred mile trip to Berryville, Arkansas. Thank you for your prayer and support for this ministry. It is you that the Lord uses to send us out to reach more people for Jesus. We all can see and hear that the time is short and the days are evil. We must go and tell others about Jesus, that He is the truth the life and the way. He Is the answer! You may not be able to go but you can help send us.

Abundant Life Church











Hey everyone!
Glenda, Anna and I would like to thank you for your prayers and support. It's been three years this May since we stepped out in faith to follow the Lord's call on our lives. It truly has been amazing how God has ordered our steps and opened doors for us to share His great love and salvation. We are getting ready to leave for our next tour to Arkansas and Alabama. We are asking you to remember us in prayer and if you can help this ministry in financial support that would be such a blessing to help fuel this ministry. The fuel alone for this tour will be $3100 dollars. If you would like to partner with us monthly, you can do so on our website at www.blastoffmusic.org. All gifts are tax deductible.

There's nothing like getting a Word from the Lord, sharing it with His people and seeing His hand move on them. We experienced a precious service at Abundant Life Fellowship in North Salt Lake this past Sunday. The Holy Spirit was present and powerful throughout the service. We love Pastor Alex and Donna, their family and precious body of church!

Thank you so much
Greg , Glenda and Anna Bostock

Desert Shadows Assembly of God













This past Sunday we had an amazing time with our Idaho buddies Pastor Rusty & Londa Huwa. Rusty and Londa now live and pastor in Phoenix at Desert Shadows Assembly of God. Along with Pastor David and Anita who are such a blessing to the church. We know that the Lord ministered to many people Sunday and lives were encouraged and challenged to draw closer and deepen their walk in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe God is getting ready to do a huge work at Desert Shadows. Thank you Pastor Rusty and Londa and team for a awesome time with you all. We also got to see our friends from Fort Worth, Texas who now live in Prescott, Arizona. Brad and Lisa Russell came to see us. We headed home to Utah on Monday and will be home for only three weeks before heading south for the next 2 months of ministry. Thank you all for you love and support.
Greg, Glenda and Anna

Glendale Arizona













One of the greatest things about ministry is the people God puts in your path! This past tour has been about reconnecting with dear friends and family, meeting new people and encouraging each other in the Lord. The underlying theme has been that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM! Challenging times have hit nearly everyone. What we have continually seen that the fiery trials in God's people have produced perseverance and faith! There's a sense of weariness, but in no way giving up!

Glendale, AZ was the next stop where we discovered they named a city after me, Glenda (kinda, sorta, not really), but it made for a great photo op! My dad's name was Glen Dale so it's been comforting to be here in this beautiful place. Pastor David and Carol League are special people with a true heart for people and for God's work. They are both in their 70's and still going strong! We have grown to love them and appreciate their diligent perseverance. They have a very loving congregation and through the hardships they continue to grow in persistent faith. God sees our faithfulness and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM!
Getting to spend some time with our Vietnam veteran buddy Chuck Crockatt and to meet his precious wife Adriann was so special. They live in Flagstaff and came down to the valley to see us. They brought their daughter, Roxanne and her family to the service along with another Vietnam veteran friend, Lenny and his wife Georgette. Lenny took me (Greg) golfing last week and we had an awesome time together on the golf course in this beautiful 75 degree weather. We got to connect with our friends and fellow ministers Delbert and Dorothea Russell from our worship pastor days in Fort Worth, Texas. They are such wonderful vessels of God who are working in the trenches of ministry now helping a start-up church in Scottsdale. We also got to spend an evening with our friends Andy and Jobey Frank. Andy is the lead worship pastor at Christ Church of the Valley, here in Glendale. They are such a blessing to the Kingdom of God. We then went to Surprize, AZ and had dinner with my (Greg) cousin Nancy and her daughter Carrie and son-in-law Keith. It was so good to get to know them better.
Our last service is this Sunday with Pastor Rusty and Londa Huwa here in Phoenix. Rusty and Londa have always been dear friends. They have pastored in Buhl and Eagle Idaho and have now been here in the valley for a year. We get to head home on Monday after nearly 3 months out on the road. Thank you to all of you that have prayed for and supported this ministry. We are all a team of battle buddies working to reach more souls for the Kingdom of the Living God. With all the signs in our world today, we believe Jesus is returning so soon. "Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we reap if we don't lose heart!" Gal. 6:9

We love you all,
Greg, Glenda and Anna
