Winter Newsletter


CONTINUING THE 10 YEAR CELEBRATION....
What an adventure! I left the Amazon with only 3 goals:
1.     Spread the open invitation for worshipers of all types to come to the Amazon in September 15th  – 30th, 2020 and worship our Lord God where His fame has not been known.
2.     Complete AFAMMS documents.
3.     Upgrade the instruments used for my music students and the ones that I use for praise and worship.




I thank you all for the prayers and the donations that came in over the summer months.  What an awesome time was had in the States.  I started out at the NAAMC Conference in Virginia.  The mission organizations and conference speakers gave strong motivational speeches, workshops, and presentations encouraging the participants to become more involved in reaching the unreached.  The phrase that continues to stick out in my heart is “It is not fare that we should hear the gospel of Jesus Christ so many times when there are those who have never even heard it once.” The workshop that I gave on The Function of Praise and Worship in Missions  was well attended and  raised so many questions that one of the coordinators said that next year we would need to have more time to address this issue.  Just think... Jehoshaphat's army did not have to physically fight the battle with the kings that opposed them.  They worshiped God and He sent such confusion among them that they killed their own selves during the night and left the children of Israel to clean up the spoils for three days! God loves it when we worship Him.

In the second mission conference, a woman was moved by God to bless me with an acoustic electric violin (as seen below).  What a blessing! I have been enjoying this violin on the praise and worship team. During the entire trip, I was able to get my student's clarinets repaired and was given a great deal on a restored used clarinet for me.  He is worthy to be praised! In December, I will be teaching in a conference here with the Marubo tribe. I will be focused on presenting the gospel message and what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth.  Please keep me in your prayers as I prepare for this special time with these people. We will celebrate our God with stringed instruments, horns and our whole being!

I had the opportunity to present the 2020 Praise and Worship in the Amazon with various groups. There was great response and I am looking forward to September 15th thru 30th,  2020 when all those who choose to come to the Amazon to worship with Mime, Music, Dance, Flags and Banners, Choirs and Song will join in celebration to our God with Colombia, Peru and Brazil.  Some of you have already contacted me to get more information for this exceptional opportunity to worship and serve in this event in the Amazon.  I am preparing a packet to be sent out to those of you who desire to participate.  You may use my email address or call me in person using my What's App number above.  I look forward to hearing from you.

A special thank you to all the well wishers for my father's 90th Birthday Celebration. My family blessed me with a ticket so that I could attend. We had an awesome time and my father was truly blessed. You may see pictures and videos on my Facebook. If you are not connected to me, just send a friend request and enjoy.
