Ignite the Fire Event: A Real Eye-Opener

Last September 20, 2008 was the 1st Knox Praise and Worship Conference aptly titled "Ignite the Fire". This was really a wake up call to those in the music ministry and even the message was applicable to the other ministries in the church.

There were four of us from Lift Jesus Higher Church (LJHC) that have attended - me (I am the one taking the picture), from the left Leah, Pastora Marissa and Faith. Each attended a different workshops dance, worship leading, voice and guitar.

The first speaker was Rev. Clem Guillermo, he discussed the topic "The Musician and His Family", it was very informative and helped me better understand the music ministry. The event was hosted by Ms. Haydee Sampang and Atty. Edith Santos both from 702 DZAS.

The next speaker was Pastor Henry Santos, he explained the topic "Foundations of Biblical Worship and Music Ministry".

This is where I attended the dance workshops which was after our lunch. It answered my questions on interpretative dancing and has given me insights.

I was blessed to see the above group of kids dancing with their tambourines, the little girl in the middle is really not with the group but was trying hard to imitate them and you can see her smile and pure joy in what she was doing.

To wrap up the event was a question and answer portion, if there were any clarifications that the the participants want to ask the workshop speakers. All of us who participated are waiting for next one.

Congratulations to those who have organized the event, God's blessings be upon you.

Our 1st Creative Arts Ministry Audition

Last September 14, Lift Jesus Higher Church had its 1st Creative Arts Ministry Audition. There were about 16 people who participated in this event. There were 3 judges who looked at each participant to see their talents and how they answer the questions given to them. Also, they were given some situations that can show their eagerness to do whatever challenge they are presented.

I was really blessed to see each of the participants that really tried their best to show the talents that God has given them. At the same time they are ready to enhance these said talents. This event also reminded me about the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) that Jesus shared.

I am really happy for the opportunity this has given me. I don't know where it will lead but I am stepping in faith and learning to listen to what God wants to take me. I also want to explore the talents that were given me, it's not too late to find our true purpose.

In everything that we do, this is all for God's glory.
