Wow! Was this a God ordained week or what! Tim and Maryl’s worship seminar here was an incredible blessing - packed to the gills with practical as well as spiritual sessions.  What a life changing time for our worship team, leaders, and church! Latins are into music!!  It was so great to have people with years of experience to help our young musicians rise to another level.
Their many years of leading worship, their unique gift of seeing potential in, and developing people into worship teams is a treasure that I am sure other nations need just as much as here in Mexico. They were great at relating to individuals through out the weekend.  The language barrier seemed to deter very little. The love they showed and maturity that was exemplified as well as musical knowledge and anointing drew our people to them. They all want them to come back and teach us more as soon as possible.
We are gearing in for our new big building for 3000 people. Our vision includes more than just a small worship band or two, we have a vision for an orchestra with at least a 30-50 voice choir, plus children’s choir. We will be developing all of this during this year. We will need expertise with this as much of this is a new thing for Mexican churches. We will be leaning on Tim even while he is in other places through email consultation.  We are planting churches now and are going for hundreds more. Not only do we need to prepare future pastors but also worship people for these new works. Many of our outreaches have experienced dearth and great frustration when it comes to even a basic worship team. Some don’t even have one good musician!  What a need! Harvest is coming in, our kinds of churches need strong Praise and  Worship.  We need to get the model functioning quickly. Jesus deserves it.
We at the base church already have a great trumpet, trombone, sax players, and 2 double base players, and a violin not active yet , besides the normal drums, guitars, keyboards, etc. Several play in the city  symphonic orchestra now and have contacts to win other musicians to the Lord there. Other musicians and singers have come in from the bar and disco scene. They now want to serve God. WE MUST give them a new vision for why God gave them their talent!  There is great raw material to work with here we just need someone to help us get there! I wish we could get the Smiths to live here for several months, or clone them, uh, with a little more Latin look!
The time has never been riper – God is doing amazing things across the world. Tim and Maryl have answered the call to “GO”  May scores of churches and individuals catch the vision to get behind Tim and Maryl financially so that they can GO, being sent by you, to hungry nations such as ours! Â
