Life in The Family International

Yesterday was far out! First day at Wordstock (a week-long music festival for youth in The Family International)and there was a lot of excitement in the air! As soon as we arrived and looking over the band schedule saw “Vas and Joni” (current “name” of our band) on for the first night, we got together to practice right away, we didn’t feel ready. We had hoped to get a bit of practice time during Wordstock and maybe perform a little later on down the line. But all things worked together for good.

Salt of Earth kicked off the night and they TOTALLY ROCKED! Awesome, Awesome band! Heavy songs! It was a real miracle that the Lord helped us get everything together and even as Salt of Earth played, I worked on tweaking the sequences to our set. We were on next. I was a bit nervous as we were about to start that I’d remember everything but I’m really happy with the turn out. We did something a little different and played along with a sequenced track. We performed some numbers that people were already familiar with and a couple new songs that Joni wrote. Joni did great and the crowd seemed to like it and most of all we enjoyed ourselves.

Vas and Joni are members of The Family International and are fulltime missionaries in Mexico. Vas helps to organize outreach, writes, records and produces music, plays in a band, performs and does shows, counsels young people and engages in evangelism. Joni teaches her four children, evangelises, performs and does shows, sings and records and assists The Family childcare board. More about Vas and Joni
