Hello Everyone~
“…The Lord has chosen you to stand in His presence, to minister to Him, and to lead the people in worship ad make offerings to Him.” 2 Chron. 29:11
We are well into our fall semester, our fifth week! The students are growing in their walks in Christ, and learning not only their studies, but also how to love one another. This semester we have students from Holland, Canada,
Germany, and the US. There are 23 in all, counting off campus students.
Our classes are going well. Bruce is teaching Revelation, in light of Worship in Heaven, as well as the Holy Spirit class. In the HS class, they are learning to pray, worship, wait on the Lord, listen to His voice, and minister to one another, as well as the functions and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Each week we see surrendered hearts, crying, praying for one another, and growing closer to Jesus.
Teresa is teaching a class on Worship Leading. She’s covering the basics of what a worship leader needs to have in his personal life as well as skill level.
She also is teaching and overseeing the women’s discipleship class. We’ve been able to have several guest speakers which have been a great blessing.
Teresa is again the Dean of Women and every week she gets together with the girls for discipleship and mentoring. Even though it takes a lot of time, it’s becoming one of her main passions.
Calvary Chapel School of Worship in Costa Mesa, has begun working with us, uploading their classes in an online format. In the near future, we will be able to incorporate these classes into our worship program here in the EU and around the world. This has been a major desire for Bruce, and now to see it coming along is very exciting. This means we will be able to take these classes to the local churches, and use them to train worship leaders there. Not everyone has the time or finances to attend a worship school.
We just finished putting on a weekend Worship Seminar at CC Kaiserslautern. The church mainly consists of those living at the military bases, and we were so blessed to work with these wonderful men and women. We taught on the Heart of Worship, Creating a Flow in Worship,
Putting together Set Lists, as well as offering workshops in Keyboard and Guitar. We received great feedback, and saw eight more people become interested in joining the present worship team. Some upcoming Worship seminars coming are in Paris, Hannover England and Malaysia.…we’re putting the final dates together.
Teresa will be leading worship for a women’s worship weekend in Salzburg, the last weekend in October. We will have our dear friends, Lee and Cary Underwood visiting us for a couple of weeks. They will get to come with us to Salzburg, as well as sit in on our classes, and see how we live here! We’re so excited they’re coming! We invite ALL of you to come for a visit! What a great opportunity to see the EU!!!
Please continue to pray for us. We need abundance of energy and good health to keep up with our schedules, wisdom in mentoring these students, and continued grace to be faithful in doing the work God gives us.
We also are praying fervently for our nation in these dark days before election. It’s so good to know our lives are in God’s hands, He holds all things together by His mighty power.
Thank you for standing with us in prayer, giving, and support. We are so very grateful for God placing you in our lives~
We love and appreciate all of you who are standing with us.
“For God is not unfair; He will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for other Christians as you still do. Our great desire is that you will keep right on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.” Hebrews 6:10
