Next month (January 2010), Stephen, Nate and I will be heading to Thailand and Hong Kong to help teach and encourage people who are serving in their local church, and who are leading their communities in visual worship.  I can’t express what an amazing opportunity this is.

We are traveling to China to share our hearts on visual worship and help equip the local communities.  WOW. We will be a part of a conference of about 500 people, and for a week we will be worshiping and serving along side these people.   I thank God for this.

I want to be open and honest and say we are not getting paid for this conference or trip, nor are our travel expenses being covered.  This is 100% on our own, and is even costing us some.  But we go because we love what God is doing, we have a heart to see the local church communities from around the world equipped and encouraged, and we are blessed when we get to be a blessing.  We are going to work with Biscuet, who is does a lot of the same visual worship leading as we do, but lives in China! He is involved with the organization ELIC which teaches the English language to the local communities and build relationships all over China, as well as the world.

Prayer is huge for us – please pray for safety and wisdom, and that we would be able to serve and show the love of Christ to everyone we meet.  Pray that we are able to show people from churches ways that they can bring visual worship into their community.  Pray that we leave changed ourselves.

Also, finances are a need.  I know it’s Christmas and asking this was hard for me, but I wanted to present the opportunity to help cover some of the expense.  Any donations to the organization will be put into a bucket for the three of us.  (Stephen Proctor, Nate Griffin, Camron Ware)

Information about giving:

-Go to ELIC’s website

-Fill out the form & put “ATC” at the bottom where it says “Any additional notes regarding the processing of this gift.”

We have about $1700 each to raise. The way ELIC has it set up, when you give, it goes into one bucket for the three of us. And yes, your gift is tax-deductible!

Thank you so much for supporting us in prayer and for considering a financial gift to support our trip!
