BJ & Katie have finally returned home after a solid two months of touring. They've literally been coast to coast, from San Francisco, CA to Wilmington, NC. BJ has shared the stage with speakers and artists ranging from Group 1 Crew, to Josh McDowell. It's been an exciting two months!
Their most recent event was the Fire Up Conference in Marquette, which is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The conference was attended by almost 2,000 students, and was produced by Youth For Christ. BJ served as both the entertainer, and the main speaker in all 3 main sessions. He also did an additional breakout session, bringing his total tally to 4 hours of material for the same audience!
That being said, did you know that BJ was available in that capacity for YOUR camp or conference? We still have openings available here and there throughout the months of June and July, and it's not too late to give us a call. You might be surprised at just how affordable it could be to partner with BJ. He's highly motivated to fill in the remaining gaps in his summer schedule.
Click here to fill out our simple contact form. Then, be sure to head on over to BJ's MySpace page to read the massive amount of positive feedback he's received already from so many of the students who attended Fire Up. We are so excited about the ways God is working in and through this unique and creative ministry.
Talk to you soon!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! A huge thank you is in order to everyone who helped make 2007 another great year. We wrapped up 2007 in Atlanta, GA with Campus Outreach. It was an honor to partner with such an incredible organization. Click here to view some pictures from the show.
We have great plans for this upcoming year. But as usual, we wouldn't be surprised if God has something different in mind. Our entire team consistently seeks His will as we venture into uncharted territories, and as usual, God's dreams end up being more exhilarating than what we come up with on our own.
Please, check back regularly as we head into the new year. We can't wait to tell you what's ahead! In the mean time, continue to walk by faith, not by sight, because your senses can always be fooled.
-BJ Harris
