SOUND CHECK
SUMMER BREEZE … BUT THINGS HAVEN ’ T SLOWED DOWN
Here we are already in August of 2023 and we are quite occupied with projects . This monthly issue of [ WM ] Worship Musician has some solid practical advice for you and your worship teammates as well as interesting interviews . We the Kingdom graces the cover . Last year when they were featured it was our highest read issue of the year !
Next , we have begun the process of collaborating with a worship ministry in South Korea to publish a full Korean language version of [ WM ] Worship Musician magazine . This endeavor not only translates our # BetterBySunday content into Korean , but also will feature indigenous Korean worship leaders as well . Pretty cool , eh ?
Some of you may not know that my wife Judy was born in Korea and is ½ Korean . We were married in a Korean church in Tacoma , WA over 20 years ago with a bi-lingual ceremony spoken in both English and Korean . We are excited to see the effort we place into publishing the English version of the magazine bear fruit in the
Korean worship community in the future . Thank you , Lord , for this opportunity !
I have also spent a lot of time this Summer coproducing a new mainstream guitar festival . We have produced over 20 guitar shows / festivals in the Northwest , but this time I traveled to my old stomping grounds of Orange County , CA and birthed the ocV ! BE Guitar Festival on Saturday , July 29 at the Honda Center in Anaheim . It was a mix of well-known guitar brands , vintage dealers , boutique builders and private collectors selling vintage , new and used guitars , amps , effect pedals and more . It was a lot of work and also trusting the Lord , but we did launch a new annual event and the victory definitely belongs to Him ! We had some very good musicians playing on our Allen & Heath / BASSBOSS sponsored festival mainstage too . It was fun !
So now we are looking at Summer wrapping up soon , and then the fall activities start to kick in , including our Christian Musician Summit conference in Tacoma back at Our Savior
Lutheran Church on November 3 & 4 , and then the Christmas celebrations . Before you know it , the new year brings the NAMM Show moving back to its regular January 25-28 timeframe . I bought our airfare for that yesterday . Really ? Yes .
There is always another issue of the magazine or another event coming around the corner to prepare for . It is never a dull moment , but this scripture verse encourages me … Proverbs 21:31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle , but victory rests with the LORD .
My job is to prepare and show up … and then trust in the Lord for the outcome - because He is faithful !
Lord bless you as you serve Him …
