How could you give so little, when you’ve been given so much,
Someone’s future is depending, on what you will do,
And to someone in the world today, their only hope is YOU.”

What a pity it would be to hear Him say these words, ‘These are ones you should have reached’.”

Over the mountains, through the deep vale,
Jesus has said ‘I”ll never forsake thee’
Promise divine that never can fail.”
“Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! Praise Him all creatures here below!
 Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Amen.”

  1. Hello Bontragers, I love the pictures of you all in concert.
    I noticed that you have four boys all in a row. That's amazing. Are they close relationship wise? Do they spend allot of time together? I don't have any brothers but I have a sister and we are close now that we are older and spend more time together. I am younger than my sister but I have the personality of a more older child and she the younger. Have you all heard of the birth order theory at all? In case you haven't, it is a theory that suggests that where a child is in the line up of their siblings determines their personality. It is interesting that in a family at my church, the oldest displays the personality of a younger child and not the eldest personality. Her dad has also said that he has more of a older child personality. There is a eight year age gap between my sister and me so I display some traits of an only child and a younger child as well as an older child.
    Sorry to ramble on but I am studying psychology in college and one of my favorite things is learning about personalities and how our place in our sibling order can determine our personality, with a family of your size it would be fun to see where they fall.

  2. Is it just me or is Rebecca going to be the only Bontrager shorter than Allison in another year or two. I never stepped back to actually look at it that way but Hudson and Liz are growing fast.
    Glad to hear that your dad talked to Pastor late last week. Pastor Brown brought your trip up in church on Sunday evening.
    This is a good overview of your concert but I didn't really get it until I went to one for myself. I do know and I know you are doing great things for God. There is no more worthy cause that bringing the Word of God to people and leading them to be born again.
    As always, all of you are in my prayers.

  3. Thanks so much for the blog post! You are so blessed! I so wish that I could watch you guys but I'm not near anywhere you will be doing a concert! =( So if you know of where I can watch a video of you guys singing, please let me know! Do you upload any on YouTube? Or will you post some on your blog?
    Thanks so much!

  5. I'm glad you all are back in the States. I had missed the late night phone calls from your dad discussing what was happening here in Iowa, at church, with the campaign and discussing your tour. I got that call again tonight and I was so happy to hear that you are all well.
    Make sure to get some good green chili in Colorado next week. Call me when you are there and I'll let you know where to get it.
    Last but most assuredly not least. Easter comes. He Is Risen! Happy Easter.
