Worship Conference

Hallo Zusammen! Hello Everyone! I want to take this opportunity to share with all of you how the worship conference went this past weekend. First of all, I want to share how completely blessed I was to be able to have sweet fellowship with my brothers and sisters who came with me. Jürgen, Martina, Merivan, Dominc, and Sina it was a great opportunity to be able to hang out with all of you during the conference. It was definitely a sweet time of fellowship.
Now regarding the conference, I have been to a few worship conferences in the past in California, but this was my first one here in Germany! And this was my first one as being the worship leader for the church. It was such a blessing. As you can see on the flyer, the guest speakers were Duane Clark, from California and Jonathan Allen, from Tennesse. Both of these men have different backgrounds with different worship experiences, and yet the Lord used the both of them to radically minister to me and to all of the rest of those who were there.

Jonathan Allen teaching a main session

The first session started off with Duane Clark teaching out of John chapter one in regards to the life of John the Baptist. The job of John the Baptist was simple. He just pointed others to Jesus. He didn't seek to take any recognition or adoration, he just pointed other to Jesus. Duane went on to share that this is the job of the worship leader and the worship team, to point the church to Jesus!
Some of the workshops that I went to were entitled, Prophetic Dynamics in Worship, Arranging a Band, and Building a Team. The Lord definitely used each of these workshops to not only answer and confirm some of my personal prayer requests in regards to the worship ministry here at Calvary Chapel Herborn, but He also used one in particular to speak to me personally.

Now I will not go into detail how the Lord spoke to me because sometimes somethings in our Christian walk are just for us and the Lord, but I will share with you that the Lord used Jonathan Allen to speak a prophetic word to me in a particular workshop that was exactly what I needed to hear. I praise the Lord for the word that was spoken. Like I said, it was exactly what I needed to hear from the Lord! Amen! Hallelujah!

Q & A with Duane Clark and Jonathan Allen

As I close, I do want to ask all of you who do read this blog to please be praying for the worship ministry at CC Herborn. There is a lot on my heart that I belive that the Lord is starting to speak, confirm, and challenge me in and I just want to be led of the Lord in all of it. So for all of you back home in California, please be praying, and for all of you here in Deutschland, please be praying for the Lord to do a mighty work of His Spirit in the worship team! I am excited!!!!
God Bless
