You’re invited to join the dream....
God has put a dream in my heart. As I have heard of the miraculous ways God is moving among the nations through worship, I was drawn to help worship leaders throughout the world. Most indigenous worship leaders in developing countries are untrained and have few resources. As a worship pastor, I long to help equip and encourage my fellow leaders as they help to “make His praise glorious...”.
And so I began to answer the call....
In December 2008 The Give Worship Project was founded.
Its purposes are simple: to equip and resource indigenous worship leaders. Our first projects were handled through my blog as I encouraged readers to simplify at Christmas in order to share with others. Together we provided six guitars, amps, cords, and worship CDs to worship leaders in Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.
But my desire to go, to teach and to encourage these precious leaders remained! And now, we are seeing that dream come true. While still serving as Worship Pastor at The Brook, I have the opportunity to do mission training trips to help others. But we need your help so that I can go because the churches I'll be helping cannot afford to pay for my expenses.
* To the Dominican Republic and teach two training workshops for worship leaders in Santo Domingo and the Haitian area of the DR. This trip is done in partnership with G.O. Ministries and will involve alot of research to help with future training.
* To Guatemala City to work with six different churches there in conjunction with Shalom Baptist Church. We'll be taking a small team of worship ministry members at The Brook, some area worship leaders, and helpers to train and teach area worship teams, get involved in community outreach and learn more about the needs of the churches in this area. While there my husband Phil will be working on installing chimneys in homes in Yalu, a mountain village nearby.
*To complete a Core Worship Curriculum for these training workshops.
* And take resources with me - Spanish Language Books, guitars, etc. are all needed by these leaders.
*And to dream of the future and say "yes" to other opportunities before me....possibly to help plant churches and provide research and future training in Africa and other countries.
HERE ARE THE NEEDS:
- $2000 for the trip to the DR due no later than October 1st.
- $800 for a plane ticket to Guatemala no later than October 15th.
- $500 by January 1st, 2010 for remaining costs of Guatemala trip.
****This means I need 20 people or worship teams to commit to $100 in September and October to make these training trips possible! Will you pray about being one of these core sponsors?****
- Spanish language resource books for leaders (see wish list to the right!)
All money donated goes for expenses.
