SOUND CHECK
SOUND CHECK : TWO GOODS IDEAS - 20 YEARS LATER
When you stop to think about the origins of good ideas , and how they can continue to bear fruit – even 20 years later – that displays God ’ s faithfulness .
This very magazine is a testimony to that . I had been publishing Christian Musician for about six years when the Lord gave me the idea in 2003 to start [ WM ] Worship Musician magazine . It was called Worship ! Magazine for the first year or so , and then changed to Worship Musician . Then I blended both magazines into one and kept it [ WM ].
That very same year ( 2003 ) I had met Matt Kees , a local worship leader who had started the Puget Sound Worship Leader Network . I had some thoughts about starting a training conference for musicians . I also had been a promoter for many Christian concerts so I thought adding an evening concert to the event would inspire the musicians . Matt had very similar thoughts about training worship leaders and team members , and he had produced concerts at his church too . We decided to join forces and start the first Christian Musician
Summit conference .
Now 20 years later we have produced 36 conferences in 5 different states ( WA , NY , AZ , CA & TN ). We have had some financial challenges along the way , but we stuck together and worked our way through them . Again – God is faithful .
About 12 years ago Matt also stepped into the role of designing each magazine ’ s layout . He does a great job there and again we found out how well we can work together in the publishing process . Matt , thank you !
Next , I would like to thank the writers for [ WM ] for their hard work and giving of themselves to you , our readers . We couldn ’ t do this without them ! Also , the worship artists that grace the covers and inside features . There are too many of them to list here , but you know who you are . Thank you ! Just go to WorshipMusician . com and look at some of the back issues there and you will see what I mean .
Each conference we produce and each monthly magazine we publish is still a walk of faith – but God has blessed both ideas for 20 years now . I am so grateful to the Lord for His faithfulness to Matt and I in the roles that we play here .
Since we just hit this 20-year milestone – I had to let our readers know how this all started from both ideas back in 2003 . I am so glad I listened to the Lord !
Thanks for listening to this story … Bruce & Judy Adolph
