A worshipper on stage, a crowd gathered in the golden Texas evening
Yoakum, Texas · Annual

The Redemption Story
Event.

A free gathering on the Texas pasture where God spared a man's life — music, a message, and the gospel, carried into the fields that have become the ground of this ministry.

The First Gathering

January 18–19,
2025.

Two years to the weekend of the crash, on the very pasture where the plane had gone down, a crowd came from across Texas and beyond. Harvest Memphis led worship. Ellie Holcomb and Aaron Watson joined on the pre-event stages. A sunrise service opened day two. Inflatables and face paint for the kids. More than a hundred people publicly committed their lives to Christ.

The Next Gathering
Early 2027.

We're prayerfully planning the next Redemption Story gathering, again on the pasture in Yoakum. Dates, speakers, and details will come as the Lord makes the way clear. If He has stirred your heart for this event, follow along — and if you can, help fund it.

Why support it

The event is free. The cost is not.

Every Redemption Story gathering is offered free to the people who come. Stage, sound, lodging for volunteers, kids' programming, food — the costs are real. Gifts from friends of the ministry are what make the gathering possible.

Production

Stage, sound, and lighting

The practical work of hosting thousands of people on a Texas pasture — tent, staging, audio, lights, and the teams that run them.

Hospitality

Food, volunteers, and kids

Meals for the crowd, bunks for the volunteers who come from out of state, and a kids' zone so families can stay the whole evening.

Artists & speakers

Bringing people to the field

Travel, accommodations, and honoraria for the musicians, speakers, and pastoral team who carry the weight of the gospel on stage.

Help us keep pushing the mission forward.

Dedicated giving to the gathering keeps it free, keeps it local, and keeps the gospel at the center of what happens in that field.
