After years of traveling across the US and Canada, I made the decision to retire from ministry, or so I thought. Shortly after coming off the road, I began driving entertainer coaches for high profile artists and bands. For the first three years I questioned “Why Am I Here”? I felt like the Lord was silent until one day He spoke and said well, if you will stop complaining long enough to listen, I will tell you why I have you here. I am going to bring musicians across your path that have been hurt by my children and by the church. I need for you to be consistent and don’t compromise who I am in you and who you are in me. As I began to understand the words that were spoken, my heart softened toward thoughts of a ministry outside my normal thinking. God gave me the idea to start a band, a tribute band, that would be used to open the door for ministry opportunities. I had no idea where to start or how I would be able to accomplish this. The only band that I knew had gained the respect of musicians world-wide is the band Toto. Musicians of every genre has such respect for this band and each of the members. If you can pull off Toto, you can play anything! So after running into my friend/former agent, April Potter at an event, I shared the vision about the Toto tribute band and why I wanted to do it and she immediately caught the vision. We use this band as a tool and outreach for the Kingdom. We don’t go in preaching and thumping our bibles but we do look for the divine appointments and the chance to plant and water seeds. We just love on people where they are, give them good music and leave the rest to God. - Dale
