Some shows we go into hoping to inspire, others we hope to be inspired by. I honestly didn’t care what kind of turnout we had a Koinonia Farms (http://www.koinoniapartners.org/ ), I was just excited to be at one of the most peaceful spots on Earth I’ve ever been.
The drive to Koinonia was beautiful. We passed blooming cotton patcheds and flat farmland that stretched for miles. When we arrived we were greeted by two lovely smiling faces belonging to Mary and Krista, a few of our local organizers. The youth group that organized our Koinonia stop were by far our youngest. They had us set up in a cozy chapel that still host daily prayer and Sunday services. Loads of people showed up, far exceeding our expectations. It was by far the coziest, friendliest crowd I’ve every set up any kind of show for! As usual Contraverse and Hope For Agoldensummer were freakin great. Everyone loved them.
After the show the folks at the farm had a bonfire waiting for us with marshmallows and all!
After a good night sleep at the guesthouse and a breakfast of peanut butter bumpers and homemade cranberry bread mmmm…, Sarah And her adorable daughters gave us a history and tour of Koinonia that incuded a sampling of the tasty new fairtrade dark chocoate esspresso bean bark YUM!! After a walk on the peace trail and a stop by the gift shop we hit the road Marrietta bound.
Peace,
