What is Abandoned?

Abandoned, formerly known as In The Deep, is the energetic, cutting-edge, modern rock praise and worship band for the Revival Tour Team. Although Abandoned is made up of talented musicians, we do not rely on our gifts and talents, but on the anointing and the Spirit of God. Abandoned is not about us as a band, but about Jesus and all He has done for us. Our worship is merely our response to our loving Creator for His goodness and faithfulness in our lives. We believe that anointed praise and worship ushers in the manifest presence of God, which allows the Holy Spirit to move and change people’s lives. We are merely vessels being used by Him!

In the Deep has recorded four CD’S and Abandoned is in the process of writing a fifth album this year.

The Purpose and Vision

"External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world." - James 1:27

"A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers. God is a Spirit (a spiritual being) and those who worship must worship Him in spirit and in truth (reality)." - John 4:23-24

"Abandoned taught me that worship is not just about music, but about living a life that is pleasing to the Lord. It taught me how to be a worship leader and how to help people connect in the presence of God. My natural talent and ability grew in those years with Abandoned and prepared me for what God has called me to do now."
