"Soul Seeking Beyond the Music" Workshop
This workshop is one that focuses specifically on both aspects of worship; spiritual and technical. We will provide tools needed to advance Singers in the ministry. They will become more effective in ushering in the Spirit of God and teaching His people to enter into his presence. God wants us to worship and praise him in excellence. Spiritual and technical preparation is therefore vital.” And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever”. 2 Chronicles 20:21
