GLOBAL WORSHIP CONCERT (RUMC-01.23.09)
Last night, the full Proskuneo team gave a GLOBAL WORSHIP CONCERT at Roswell United Methodist Church as part of their annual missions conference. Here are some pictures, thanks to Marie and Bekah!
[whenever we get together, and each one does his/her thing, there is a sense of eager anticipation. what will happen? what will GOD do? how will HE move among us? Here we are learning a new song in practice before the concert.]
[the concert took place in their beautiful chapel...in the round, with people on three sides. The room was gorgeous, with great acoustics...but more important, the LORD's people were gathered together to worship...There were believers there from: Philippines, Canada, Kenya, Mexico, Honduras, Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Dominican Republic, Russia, Korea, and of course, the USA.]
[one of the challenges of multi-cultural worship is the organization and keeping everyone on the "same page". We have found that a lot of that has to do with the media guys, especially powerpoint. What is on the screen at a Proskuneo concert is as revolutionary and impacting as what you hear. When was the last time you saw a song in 8 languages on the screen at the same time? Matt does a great job following the songs in whatever language they are being sung. No easy task...]
[here we are singing a brand new translation of "King of Glory" in Ki-Swahili. Jeannette, representing the Democratic Republic of Congo is right next to Josh (yes, that's him in the African shirt), leading out in this new translation.]
[our newest staff member, Karen Treu led out in sign language, and stretched us a little bit by giving a welcome and some facts about deaf culture all in ASL. She keeps her translator (Josh) on his toes!] Is this the end of the sign for "holy" ?
[Abraham, originally from the Sudan, reminded us that oftentimes, if we are not careful, we as Christians "shoot our wounded." However, we often need to be reminded that we are in this together. Here we were singing, "I will never fail. You will never fail. Because of Jesus, we will never fail..." in English and Arabic.]
[Shaun Wright joined us for the first time, with some powerful spoken word. "It's not about me, my preference, my groove...It's not about hands folded or hands raised...It's all about You."
[bass player, Neil Mison, originally from the Philippines, led us in worship a couple times with some instrumental solos. Beautiful things come out of him when he is worshiping with his bass guitar in hand.]
[it was good to have Isaac (originally from South Korea) back leading with us last night. here he is lifting up some sweet saxophone licks in worship.]
[how good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters dwell together in unity...there GOD commands a blessing. We are blessed every time we get together. They had to kick us out of the building last night. :) We just enjoy being together. What will heaven be like when there are no time constraints! We are looking forward...]
