Friends and Fellow-worshipers,
We would like to take this Christmas season to say thank you for being a part of an incredible year at Worship Without Borders. From Mexico to India, Florida to Washington, we have seen God move powerfully in worship, literally around the world. In three years, Worship Without Borders has touched nearly 200 churches, six nations, three continents and held 26 local church worship seminars. We have seen God touch countless lives as His worship is released in city after city and nation after nation. New songs are being birthed and prophetic worship is being released as His Spirit moves among His people. Even more exciting are the steadily growing numbers of people coming to Jesus for the first time at all of our meetings.
Worship Without Borders 2009
The highlight of 2009 was in Coimbatore, India with Rev. David Prakasam at Bethel City Cathedral. We were privileged to minister to widows, orphans, lepers as well as teach and train thousands of worshipers. We also returned to Puebla, Mexico with Phil and Judy Jaquith, Fuente Para El Mundo, as well as Fuente de Vida in Veracruz, with many people coming to Jesus in service after service. We had a powerful worship conference in Florida with Pastors Danny and Giselle Bonilla. They are having us back in 2011!
One very exciting development of 2009 was the recording of my first-ever instructional DVD: Piano in Worship. This DVD corresponds to my book of the same name that hundreds of students and teachers around the world have been trained and released into creative worship. Now many more will be able to see and hear the unique yet simple patterns that I have used in worship for years (called ‘worship bridges’). Using these basic yet creative techniques, the worship pianist can play virtually any song in any key. It will be made available by mid-January! We hope to get a DVD into hundreds of churches around the world.

Have a blessed Christmas and a great New Year,
