After prayer and fasting, we have decided to enter a new phase of ministry - conducting worship seminars and Praise & Harmony events full-time.  I have been blessed to serve as the worship minister for the Madison Church of Christ for over eight years.  Ever since the days as lead singer for Acappella, traveling has always been a passion that we enjoy and we really miss the road.  It is a special blessing to have the opportunity to travel and fellowship with people around the globe, especially when the connection involves singing and worship.

Madison is a very, very special family of believers who are marching forward and doing great things in His name.  We will greatly miss this church family and cherish the years of ministry with them.  Lord willing, this experience will only enrich the worship leader training, Praise & Harmony seminars and praise team clinics that I’m invited to lead.

This year marks the beginning of our empty nest experience, so the timing is good to follow through on these opportunities.  Please pray for Sharon and me as we enter this new phase of our ministry in helping churches navigate changes and issues involved with worship.  All of my bookings will be handled through Keith Reid.

Steve Jobs, in referring to innovative products like IPod, etc. made a statement this week about how special (and rare) it is for an individual to get the chance to work on one ground-breaking project in their career; and how Apple has introduced several.  I feel that way about my opportunities.  It is exhilarating to see how Acappella is being used around the world for God’s purposes.  Now, it is refreshing to be involved in yet another chapter of God’s work, specifically involving congregational singing and worship.
