Song of the Week #94

Yes, I love John Mark McMillan's music. And, yes, he is coming to Owensboro, KY on June 9th and 10th so I'm giving him even more love on this blog than normal. While on the 9th he'll be talking and teaching privately with the Arise interns, you can come hear him and some friends perform on Sunday night the 10th. If you're interested in that, click here. Either way, enjoy another great track of musical goodness and lyrical depth right here:

Arise Worship Internship

If you, or someone you know, loves the Lord and loves music then you need to tell them about the Arise Worship Internship. Arise is an intense 8-week worship internship that focuses on students encountering the love of God and equipping them to lead others into His presence. Interns are taught that worship flows from dwelling in the presence of the Father, and that this relationship is primary above all else. From there, they learn Biblical truths and also how to lead with excellence.

In short, the Arise Worship Internship is about raising up and releasing sold-out lovers of Jesus Christ into the world to spread the Gospel, help others grow in their relationship with God, and to change culture. At Arise, its about Word, Worship, and Musicianship.

The deadline to submit applications is Tuesday, May 15th so hurry and get this in front of the people you know! They will love you for it :) Oh yeah...John Mark McMillan, Jeff Deyo of SONICFLOOd, and Sarah Reeves are all gonna be there. That's pretty cool, too.

JOHN MARK

Thought I'd throw this up here before it gets everywhere: John Mark McMillan is coming to the Arise Worship Internship this summer! Yes sir! Our 2012 Arise interns are going to get to hear John Mark teach, speak, and do a Q&A. Wow. This is stinking incredible!

God is showing us lots of favor. How fun to be in the middle of it! Thank you for Your goodness, God. Continue to pour it out and let us be wise with what You are blessing us with. In Jesus Christ's Name, AMEN!!!!!

Arise Worship Internship

So I made a quick mention in my last post that I have been incredibly busy over the last few weeks. Well now I am finally ready to announce to the world the one primary thing that has been the focus of most of my hours over the past month: The Arise Worship Internship!

The Arise Worship Internship is going to be an amazing 9 week program that produces earth-shaking, culture-shaping worship warriors. The entire purpose of this internship is to raise up and hone people who have a burning desire to use their musical abilities to affect things for the Kingdom. We are going to pour into, and release, an army of revolutionaries that are sold out to the cause of Christ and are also musically excellent. This internship gives everybody 18 years of age and up the chance to come be a part of what’s going on here, get sharpened up, learn, and grow and THEN go back out and take everything they’ve acquired and infect their corner of the world. It’s going to be incredible!

So tell all your friends, tell your family, tell everybody about the Arise Worship Internship!! I have absolutely no doubt that the Lord is going to do some truly remarkable, new things through this program and the people who come to be a part of it. Bring it on, Lord, we’re ready!! In Jesus’ Mighty Loving and Awesome Name, Amen and Amen!!!!!
