Aaron and Amanda Crabb
Aaron and Amanda Crabb have traveled all over the world making music and sharing the Gospel. Both pastors for over a decade (Aaron since 2002 and Amanda since 2004), they were in San Antonio, Texas, where Aaron was the worship leader of Cornerstone Church under Pastor John Hagee. Then God called him to take his family, leave stability, and plant a church in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
The transition started in March of 2013, four years after they saw God work a miracle in their daughter. At the age of two, Eva fell out of a second-story window. She hit an air conditioning unit that probably saved her life because under it was a concrete slab," Amanda explained. "I started laying hands on the doctors and praying for them, for God to allow them to be an instrument for Him. They had to get a CT scan to prove that everything was okay before they could even touch her. They didn’t know if the brain was swelling, if the spine was severed, so they rolled her back for the scan and they couldn’t get it." Eva was too hurt and too confused to be still for the CT scan so the doctors asked her parents to calm her down. "She wanted us to hold her," Amanda explained. "They had her strapped down and she kept saying, 'Get these seatbelts off of me!' She wanted off of that bed and so the only thing I knew to do was to sing. I said, 'Eva do you want us to sing to you?' and she said, 'Yes.' I always thought we were worshippers but until that moment I had no clue what a true heart of worship was."
The miracle that God worked that night was zero injuries. Eva had no broken bones and no internal injuries. That love is only a part of what they share from the stage when they sing or preach. That power is what they stand on and the God that they represent will be front and center at their Restoring Hope Church, which will hold its first service on September 14,2014.
In a press release, Pastor Aaron said, "When we do our part in declaring the name of Jesus, those who are wounded, broken and hurting will come to the water that can refresh, renew and restore." "We feel this is what we were created to do," Amanda added. "This will be the destiny that God has for our children and their children to come. While all the details are uncertain, one thing remains, Peace that passes all understanding!"
