Last Sun night: live worship with Leonard Jones

Last Sunday night, my friend Jeremy and I had the opportunity to see Leonard Jones, the former director of worship at MorningStar, lead worship at Open Heart Ministries in Bothell.  The event was not really advertised, and not that many people in Seattle knew about Leonard anyways, so it was not a large meeting, which turned out to be a good thing.

I had known Leonard from the time I was at MorningStar, and it was good to see him again, this time in my neighborhood.  I chatted with him, and heard about how he is doing.  During the worship set, he shared more about his personal journey in the Lord, over the years.

For worship, Leonard brought two of his old friends, Red and Glenn, both electric guitar players, to jam with.  The leadership at Open Heart was very generous to give them the freedom to play as the Holy Spirit led.  Each person in the "band" took turns to sing his own songs.  Musically, Leonard was playing acoustic guitar, keyboard, and violin, sometimes all three on the same song!

We worshipped to some MorningStar favorites such as Jesus, Bless the Lord, and Burning Bush.  It was a wonderful, powerful, intimate night of worship.  We knew that we were all tremendously blessed by the Lord.

Great "Burn" worship session at Revelation Church last Sat

Several friends and I went up to Revelation Church in Lake Stevens last Saturday evening, to attend their monthly "Burn" worship sessions.  This time, we worshipped for 2.5 hours straight, and the presence of God came in a strong way.  We had "deep encounters" with the Lord!
Rev Church is hosting the "Burn" sessions once a month, so check out their schedule to see when the next one will be.  Come if you can!

Great worship at The Burn Seattle last Sat!

I had a powerful time last Saturday night at The Burn Seattle, a nationwide movement focusing on worship and prayer.  It was held at Revelation Church in Lake Stevens, WA.  Amy Thompson led worship on keys and it was one of the most powerful worship session I have ever participated in.  The presence of God was really strong.

Right now they are holding The Burn Seattle once a month.  Check out their website to learn the time and location.

Represent Conference at Sonrise Chapel, 3/26-28

There is a powerful youth/young adults conference called "Represent" coming up at Sonrise Chapel, in South Everett, WA.  Read below for more info!

We are so stoked to be hosting our first youth and young adult conference at Sonrise Chapel. This coming March 26-28, please consider joining us on this new adventure. We would be so blessed to have you as our guests.

“Represent” is a conference to encounter God in passionate worship and to receive training to go and represent Jesus to our generation. Our conference will include times to go out to the streets, malls, and other places in our community to heal the sick and give prophetic words of encouragement.

We are bringing in two great guest speakers: Todd White and Ben Dixon. Todd White will be the primary speaker/trainer for our event and Ben Dixon will be training on how to give prophetic words as a lifestyle. Just for youth pastors on March 25 we will host a free dinner at Sonrise for youth pastors and their wives to come meet Todd. Then on March 26^th at lunch, we will have an opportunity for youth pastors to go the mall and minister alongside Todd in a smaller setting before the conference officially starts.

For all groups that bring at least 10 paying people, one pastor/leader and spouse can attend for free. Our early bird registration is due by March 3, so please get in touch with us soon to confirm that your group would like to attend, so that we can hook you up with more registration forms and/or posters. If you know of other youth ministries or young adult groups that would be interested in this please pass along the information. On behalf of the 10x youth ministry staff and I, have a blessed New Year!

God rocks Iceland

The past few days has been amazing here in Reykjavik, Iceland.  We have had three straight days of intense worship and prayer, with worship teams from various local churches taking shifts 24/7.  The local believers are on fire for God.  I have been playing with Tim Brock, a worship leader on guitar and flute, and we have been trading off leading on guitar and playing off each other (with me on my electric violin when he's playing guitar).  Our worship sets has been some of the best that I've played on.  God was just present throughout.
We also had the opportunity to play on other Icelandic worship teams and in a large local church.  And we have another worship/prayer set later today.  Though my left hand has not fully healed yet, I have been receiving healing prayer here everyday and I am able to play for long hours everyday without pain.  Praise God!  Please continue to keep me in your prayers.  God has been so good, and there is a birthing of the House of Prayer and revival here in Iceland.  Let your kingdom come here, Lord!

Iceland ministry trip coming up!

I will be heading to Iceland for an important ministry trip from 4/15 to 4/23.  I'll be bringing my electric violin and doing worship over there.  Details to come.  Please keep me in your prayers!

Guest violinist at IHOP-NW this past Mon.

 

This past Monday morning I was a guest electric violinist on IHOP-NW's (Int'l House of Prayer Northwest) very first intercession set in their new facility at Federal Way.  Check out the nice photo of the stage and team above.  God is moving in a mighty way here in the Seattle-Tacoma region!  Hopefully I'll upload more pics of the prayer room soon.

Great worship time last Sunday!

As I have limited internet access here in Taiwan, I am only able to get online sporadically. So I will write a quick update. Last Sunday we had a great worship time at my cousin Lintien's church in Taipei. I played my electric violin with the worship band, and it was a powerful time in the Lord. I will write more later. Blessings.

Heidi Baker & the Riveras!

Yesterday I got to watch a TACF DVD where Alberto and Kimberly Rivera led worship and Heidi spoke.  It was one of the best meeting I've seen in my life as the overall ministry--the worship and the preaching of the Word were both extremely powerful and anointed, with the people responding to the Lord in massive numbers at the end.  I thank God I had the opportunity to view this DVD.
