The 2016 NWLC training season kicked off with great success, May 18-19 in Centreville, VA and continued July 27-28 in San Antonio, Texas. The National Worship Leader Conference is ready to partner with Westside Family Church in Lenexa, Kansas, to further champion sung prayer and offer premier leadership training to worship leaders and their teams, designed to transform lives and inspire ministry.
As a people of faith, many followers of Christ would love to see prayer become part of our schools in America again. But I would suggest we first bring prayer back into the churches of America. The vast majority of churches in America give more time in their worship services to promoting their next event than they give to practicing prayer.
Workers supported by Gospel for Asia (GFA) are distributing supplies, including food, mosquito netting, hygiene products and blankets, to villagers fleeing widespread monsoon flooding across certain parts of Asia. The monsoons have killed more than 42 people and driven millions more from their homes in Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal and India.
