Curtis Hagy of Brothers Forever said, “This tour was birthed through God showing us that 'breakthrough' was coming to God’s people. People who have been struggling with sickness, emotional and financial distress, marriage problems, and so much more. God is going to restore them and bring 'breakthrough' into their lives. We are seeing this take place first hand in our services.”

“Louisiana kicked this tour off, and it was incredible to see so many young people on the altar seeking God to restore their relationships and to bring breakthrough in their lives,” responded Gary Ballew of Brothers Forever. “Parents are seeing their children come back to God, people are being healed of various diseases, anxiety, fear, and depression – God is whipping all of them from peoples minds!”

Bullock has officially turned over the reigns of the ministry to Greg Colburn, the last touring baritone for the group before coming off the road. Mike will not be returning to the road. Carolyn is in full remission of her illness, but Mike is enjoying spending the time at home with his family.

Mike Bullock commented, “I want to encourage everyone who is and has been a friend of the Men of Music to know that I support what this group is doing and hope that all of my friends and acquaintances will continue to book the group even though I may not be on the road with them.”
