Easter & Resurrection Celebration
May this week and Sunday be a refreshing reminder of the powerful reality of Jesus' resurection. He is alive! And because of this fact, we can be transformed and empowered to live life the way it was designed to be lived. Through His Spirit, may true life explode within you! The qualities of unconditional love, joy and peace are not attained by our own will and self-effort as some mistakenly teach, but are released expressions of Jesus presence in our lives. Clinging to Him and letting Him live through you, will atract others to the Lord in surprising ways.
Ministry Highlights
Ministry is going well! I have been busy most weekends. I am going to be teaching a new workshop called Worship Catalyst Training which is a highly practical help for worship leaders and lead worshipers alike. Check out the details under Workshops. I'm itching to put out a new CD after the Christian Guitarist Conference for it's been over two years since the Heartfelt Praise project. This Summer, I've been invited to the Christian Artists Europe and the European Academy for Culture and Arts in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I'll be teaching seminars during the days and some worship concerts during the evenings. What an opportunity to train artists in music skill, worship, and character. If you are interested in going with me in a Worship Catalyst Training relationship, please get a hold of me right away.
2004 Christian Guitarist Conference Recap
The 10th Annual Christian Guitarist Conference was February 6 & 7, 2004 (Friday & Saturday) at Neighborhood Church in Castro Valley, California, with featured artists Phil Keaggy, Paul Baloche, Norm Stockton, and Reggie Coates. With the creative skill of Phil Keaggy, the worship leading experience of Paul Baloche (composer of Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord and Above All), and the contemporary stylings of bassist Norm Stockton, this year's conference was fantistic! We gave out free Compilation CDs and conference T-shirts to the 400 registrants. The two full days of instruction, worship, fellowship, and performance was so rewarding and encouraging.
