"Where are you guys now?" That's the question we get a lot in our emails, phone messages and smoke signals. To answer that with as much clarity as possible... we are back home in Poulsbo Washington (for those that don't know where that is, install the latest version of Google Earth and search for it for a few minutes of fun) for what may turn out to be a long while. After about 6 1/2 years of touring quite solidly around the U.S. we are going to be taking an extended break from the road and focus on some of areas that unfortunately get neglected being on the road for so many months a year. Things such as family, friends, church, our businesses we each own (more on those below) as well as our own personal relationships with the Lord are just a few of the things we will be focusing our attention on. It's amazing how you can get so busy in the ministry serving the Lord and serving others that you forget about the Lord and others all together. Ever had that happen? We've consciously made the effort to make sure we didn't fall into that roll as much as possible, but to be honest, it's inevitable at times and we have ended up smacking our faces against a wall on numerous occasions. Over the past year or so we have had many changes come into our lives and have also begun to notice that we were becoming strangers to those closest to us - it's kind of like coming home to another hotel when it should feel like a place of refuge and regeneration. For those of you who are touring musicians/ministeries and the such, I KNOW you will relate to that. After this last tour we just returned from recently, we all felt it and knew it was time to lay things down for a season. You CAN have too much of a good thing!

So as it is today, Kevin will be continuing to teach his 40+ (wow!) drum students as well as run his Coffee Shop (Tre Voci Coffee Co.) in Kingston WA. Kevin has the best coffee in town by far. As for Elise and I, we have recently started a Young Adult Fellowship at our home church (Calvary Chapel of Poulsbo) which we are just absolutely stoked about. We have a yearning to see this age group (18-30's) absolutely passionate about Jesus and in turn those who don't know Him. We of course will continue to lead worship at our church as well. We also have just announced the opening of a new Cafe' of our own here in Poulsbo. Starting sometime in July (depending on how fast we can re-model the building), Elise and I will open "Yipi Bubble Tea" (www.yipibubbletea.com) to the anxious awaiting patrons of our area. We will be serving Bubble Tea (if you don't know what that is, do a google search), Yerba Mate` (do another google search), real fruit smoothies w/ optional protien and/or supplements, as well as sweet and savory Crepes! Crazy I know - who would-a thunk it? I personally will also be working on another piano album and there is something in the wind that Elise may be working on material for an album of her very own? I personally will break that disc by listening to it too much...

As far as Jacob's Well in general - we are VERY much still going to play together and tour here and there. However, with the many changes in our lives, our out-of-town dates are going to be confined to a couple weekends a month at most. If you are wanting to have JW at your fellowship or event, just call (206.650.1625) or write (booking@wellwatermusic.com) for more information.
All is well and we are so excited for what the Lord has in store for each of us. Will you pray for us? Will you pray right now for us? Patience, direction, clarity, health, provision, strength and determination - all areas we can use your prayers!
We deeply love each you and are looking forward to seeing you all before long. Till then, stay close to Jesus...
