What an amazing weekend we had with the people in the community of Vernal, Utah. We started with a praise and worship workshop on Saturday morning with 38 in attendance. There were 5 churches from around the area that brought their worship teams. Glenda and I shared with them many things we have learned throughout the past 29 years of leading worship. We had a great time teaching and pouring into the hungry worship leaders and praise team members. We were hosted by Jamie and Lee Ann Sparger and they did an amazing job organizing the worship workshop! Sunday morning and Sunday night we ministered in service and the Spirit of the Lord was so powerful and so beautiful. We invited Kathryn Connelly along with her daughter Erin to travel with us for the weekend to learn more about what we do in our worship workshops and Sunday services. Kathryn is going to be helping us schedule services throughout America as we continue to share about the need in Vietnam and continue to minister to people right here in the land of the free. Pastor Stan and Karen Arias have been pastoring World Vision Church for nearly 32 years and have such a huge heart and love for people. In spite of battling major physical struggles, Pastor Stan had an amazing attitude as he and Karen both modeled praise to God in the midst of their storm! They invited us to come and sing at Pastor Stan's dialysis session and minister to the medical team and other patients as he underwent his 4 hour process. He has done this 3 times a week for nearly 2 years now. It was a special honor to sing at the clinic. We love Pastor Stan and Karen dearly and ask that you would keep them in your prayers. We love the opportunities to meet so many wonderful people and thank God for giving us this ministry and incredible people like you that are making an impact in God's Kingdom.
