Family Flashback- Newsboys Video Stars

Our friend, Laura, posted this video on Facebook on a trip she was taking down Memory Lane. When we were her youth leaders in Portland, we took some of the kids and our two boys to the Christian Supply store to be in this music video…

Watch for our group at 4:22. They jammed us all in this room, the guys came in, taught us the dance, they filmed us doing the dance, then we all waited in line so they could sign autographs for everyone there! We waited for almost three hours and there were only about 10 people behind us in line. Andy fell asleep on Chris’ back…

Unlike when we went to see Amy Grant and Michael W Smith, there were no bodyguards shoving us through the line, telling us not to talk to them. Even after 3 hours of signing, they were still excited to see us. Peter wrote a personal message to Zack on his video cover and posed for a picture…

When Andy got to Duncan (the drummer) and told him that Andy wanted to be him when he grew up. Duncan stopped the whole line and told the rest of the guys that “this kid wants to be ME when he grows up!” Needless to say, this made the rest of the band laugh! (notice Jody Davis pointing at Andy and smiling…) But Andy did grow up to be a drummer…

I met Duncan again two years ago while working in the admin office at Creation Fest. I told him the story of Andy meeting him, wanting to be just like him when he grew up and that he did, in fact, become a drummer in our church worship band. Then, breaking every single rule, Duncan signed an autograph for me to give to Andy! Yeah, it was worth getting in trouble for, although I had no idea it was against the rules when I did it…

Needless to say, the Newsboys are still one of this momma’s favorite bands ever!
