Tales From The Road

Baby coming on board

2009-05-21T06:52:00.000-07:00

Alex Ashlock is making his way into the world as I write you this post. Water In2 Wine is off the road for the weekend to spend time with wives and children. God has blessed us beyond belief. We continue to go out on the road each and every week to minister and God has richly blessed. Pray for the continued blessing of Water In2 Wine as we endeavor to press forward the gospel of Christ through song.

Look for some new videos on www.youtube.com/waterin2wine one is already up there and more will be coming...maybe a baby video or two as well.

Check out the podcast for some new music this weekend and perhaps a live show on the webpage.

God Bless/waterin2wine

From A to Z

2008-10-13T08:51:00.000-07:00

Oct 12th weekend,

Starting out in Anderson know as A-town and finishing in Zanesville, someone pointed out that we had gone from A to Z in town names. It was a great weekend with the Beaver Creek Wesleyan Church crowd. We were concerned going into this weekend because I (Aaron) was suffering from an upper respiratory infection. But, God helped and Jonathan was able to carry more of the load and God used it for His Glory. The Second of two Pastor Steve's for the Day was a joy to get to know. The Zanesville Community Church was welcoming and treated us well. Again, against the odds God helped us to put aside our worries and worship Him. In between the two churches as I slept snoring away in the back seat of the Van,Jonathan watched the Colts win big making his day. God was good and showed me that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.....

Wake Me Up When September Ends

O.K. so that is actually today.
We have had quite a summer and now go sailing into the fall months. We have had many wonderful concerts and met some great people. We also took part in the Great Lakes Gospel Sing as well as the Northern Gospel Singing Convention in Marion, Indiana. God has been good and our steps of faith have worked out so far.

Kelly and I are now expecting in May. I'm hoping for a boy and Kelly wants a girl so I will try for a boy later. She wants three, I want two, and we cant have 2 and a half. We have a big month of October ahead of us. Check out the schedule for upcoming events. For those of you in the Southern Indiana area Oct 25th and 26th we will be having a Concert at the New Salisbury Christian Missionary Church. Come join us in song and worship. We also will be giving you a new podcast soon and check the website www.waterin2wine.com for upcoming shows on Water In2 Wine TV. Thank you for supporting our ministry and God Bless.

Back to Blue River

2008-05-01T06:52:00.000-07:00

Wow, we've had a couple of trying months since I last posted. Jonathan and Jeniffer lost their baby 17 weeks into the pregnancy. It was a tough loss for them and for the family. However, God is good and we all could feel His presence around us through the grief. God is good all the time. We are traveling to a church we're we once spent 4 years of our lives as pastor's kids. The Church of Blue River Wesleyan was home before my parents returned to the mission field of Brazil. We are looking forward to being with the folks and as a bonus treat our parents will be traveling with us. Keep us in your prayers and until next time God Bless.

Easter

2008-03-23T20:27:00.000-07:00

We had a wonderful day of singing to a little church with a big heart. Mount Zion Henry County Wesleyan Church had us for their Easter Service and lunch. We worshiped in song and felt the Spirit descend on the place. If you can't worship on Easter you just don't want to worship. We head out for a double header next Sunday; first at Main Street UMC of Logansport then in Muncie. Check our website for future concerts. For those who would like to book us my wife Kelly will be taking care of the bookings from here on out. Pray for us as we continue to develop the ministry of Water In2 Wine as we feel God would have us do. Until Next time, God Bless

It's good to obey God!

2008-01-14T07:32:00.000-08:00

Its a great feeling to know that you are doing what God wants you to do. Jonathan and I were back on the road again this past weekend and felt a great sense of satisfaction. It's hard work getting up early on a weekend and trudging around the area setting up and tearing down, setting up and tearing down. However, it is when we sing and share that the work melts away and you we understand the reasons why. I don't know how long we well be able to do this. I don't know to what level we will rise. I do know that if this is all we can do I can be confident in the knowledge that it has effected people for the Kingdom of God. Thats all I want because it's all He wants from me. Thanks for the great weekend to the two churches (Kingsford Heights and Shiloh Wesleyan) that had our ministry in their mist. You ministered to us in a special way.

Sliding back to Kingsford Heights

2008-01-10T21:39:00.000-08:00

Hello friends, family, and fans,

Well the year has come and gone and our family continues to shrink then grow. Shortly before Christmas Kelly's grandfather (her Dads Dad) passed away. We will miss him very much. However, as the year 2007 faded and 2008 was just getting started we were given the news that Jonathan (my music partner and brother) and his wife are expecting a child. We are very excited for them and wish them "God's Grace" as they embark in this new phase of life.

We are returning this weekend of the 13'th of January to last scene of Southern Gospel on Ice. The concerts that were canceled that day have been rescheduled and it looks like the weather is going to cooperate. The Church at Kingsford Heights has even requested the Christmas music we would have performed that day. I'm not sure if the Shiloh Wesleyan Church will want the same thing though. I've heard of Christmas in July but never in January.:)

God has been good and faithful to our families and our ministry. Keep us in your prayers as we continue to grow and stretch with the guidance of God. May he bless each one of you.

Southern Gospel On Ice

2007-12-09T20:16:00.000-08:00

Wow, we had quit a weekend. We had a great evening at the benefit concert at the Main Street Church of God. It was nice to hear some other singers and there where some good singers there that night. Sunday was a different day. We took off and soon realized that we were in for it. The Ice was bad and we realized just how dangerous it really was. To make a long story short both concerts will be rescheduled for a later date and God was really watching over us. If you read this if you are so inclined say a word for Pastor Fred. He is the pastor at the first Church we were headed for this morning and is suffering from chemotherapy treatments for cancer. Pray that Gods will be done. We thank God for His many blessings.

Singing in the Rain...I mean snow

2007-12-07T21:30:00.001-08:00

We're off this weekend for three more concerts and a family reunion. We will begin Saturday afternoon at a fund raiser for a couple of children in the community that need medical care. Then we are off to the frozen north 0f the state of Indiana for a couple of concerts on Sunday. I pray God helps us weather relating because we could be in for a nasty mix of rain, ice, and snow. Should be fun and hopefully my wife will remember to take some pictures that we can share. God Bless

All The Kings Men

Hello Aaron here,

We're back at it and almost ready to switch into the holiday mode. We had a wonderful time at the Northern District Mens Group Dinner that was held at the Warsaw Church last Saturday. It was nice getting in touch with many of the Pastors that we have met along the way. There is a schedule change to remember. The Service that was scheduled for Avon has been moved to December the 16th. This weekend we are going to be making up the concert to the Walkerton congregation after they were so gracious to reschedule after Kelly's mother passed away. Keep us in your prayers and may God Bess you .

Thank you for praying for the Water In2 Wine team this weekend. Kelly's mother has passed very suddenly and unexpectedly. We have postponed our concert for the weekend in order to take care of the arrangements and to be able to attend the funeral. We thank you for your understanding and hope to rejoin the concert tour as soon as possible. Victoria was one of our biggest fans and we will miss her very much. The funeral will be held at the First Wesleyan Church in Muskegon, Mi at 1 P.M. on Saturday. As it stands tonight the burial will be in Pontiac, MI on Monday. Thank you all and God Bless.

Are you ready for the weekend?

2007-10-17T07:10:00.000-07:00

We're heading out this weekend for three concerts in three days. We are looking forward to the challenge. We had a great weekend at Mount Zion Henry County Wesleyan Church and also with the Tippecanoe Christian Church. Great people in both places. After we loaded up to head back we got to stop by the football field in Winamac, Indiana and catch the last few drives of my cousins sons flag football game. It was the championship game and they almost pulled off a great upset against the Wendy's team.(the most stacked and overpaid team in the league). After that, we stopped by my Grandmothers and visited. Then we headed for home. It was a great weekend that tired us completely, however, the mood was great in the van as we headed down the road.

The first of many

2007-10-02T23:49:00.001-07:00

We start the journey together. From here we hope to show the growth and give ensite into our travels and projects.
