Simple Worship Ministries is Born!


www.simpleworship.net

Check it out. As I continue to wait on God to show me his long term plans for my family and me, it became very clear that I needed to create a platform from which to share ministry, ideas and experiences with those that I have ministry relationship with. Having promoted other people my whole life/career, I have spent very, very little time promoting to others the music and ideas that God gives to me. I have felt very clearly led to do that at this time, regardless of what some people might think... what might some think? That I am arrogant or prideful in promoting myself. But that would be a judgement of motive, and that is not what God wants us to do to one another - so I will just listen to God's voice and try and ignore the voices of discouragement - and believe me, there have been many in the past 10 years of my life.

I do not have any grandiose dreams or big visions of what I am trying to do here. So what am I trying to do? Be faithful. God has given me some level of gifting, if I don't use it, he is going to bless someone else - why not me? I may never have a song recorded or distributed widely - but that's not the point, the point is being faithful. So I have dusted off the old songs, started working on the new ones, and started to raise money to pay for the first of what I hope is several recording projects over the next few years. No more waiting 6 years between recordings.

To move forward I am working to create a variety of web-sites that will promote the traveling ministry, the music itself and a web-based teaching ministry. The teaching and traveling ministry is: www.simpleworship.net, for now, the music and fundraising site is: http://www.indieheaven.com/artist_main.php?id=76779 (just copy and paste that whole line and it will take you straight to my site)

So celebrate God's goodness with me - surely he has been good, he has made the path clear, at least for this step. (proverbs 3:5-6)
