Worship In The Wild!
Today we're heading out to Stevensville Road, near Niagara Falls to attend the Worship In the Wild festival! It's at "Safari Niagara," and I've been asked to lead worship for a 40 minute set.I'm extremely nervous about it, but trying to just throw myself into it and trusting God to work. I'll do my part (and I've been practising for a few months now), but I am definitely not leaning on my own strength: I feel out of my element, and nervous that I'm going to embarrass myself.I guess that's just pride.Joanne and I have booked a camping site to take our teeny trailer (a Boler, for those who know what that is). If nothing else, we're trying to think of this as our summer vacation. I've managed to find someone to lead worship at our church on Sunday, and I'm going to try to just relax and have fun.Apparently there will be a merchandise table, so I've put together a few CDs. Some of them are really old- who buys CDs anymore??!! If I am able to sell a few to offset the cost of the trip that would be great. Camping doesn't seem to be the cheap vacation anymore, haha!
We've selected a number of my top scripture songs, but I imagine most people won't know them. I hope that they'll recognize the Word of God, though, and that will open their hearts to worship.
Please keep us in prayer. Pray that God keeps us safe, helps us to honour him and not to make it about me at all. Pray that HE is glorified.Thanks friends!~Jason
