Wonderful Time in Dallas
The theme for the 2008 Worship Institute was: “Embracing His Presence”. We did. And He embraced us.
It was a wonderful time of being with old friends, meeting some new ones and being held, challenged, encouraged and transformed by the Presence of our God. Ross Parsley, John Stevenson, Steve Fry, Dr. Jack Hayford, Leanne Albrecht, Robert Stearns and my dear friend Bob Sorge, among many others, ministered the grace and Word of the Lord this full week.
I enjoyed helping in the band, playing with Carl Albrecht, Karry Godwin and Rich Severson on guitar, Darrell Wren on bass and singing with my wife Rita, Lani Stacey, Meg Everhart, Antonia Lawrence and Erik Eskelund. My classes went well and many people responded to the song inspired and written with my African friends: “I Rest In You” (Not Afraid).
One person commented as we received a spontaneous love offering one session for a family in need: “Finally we didn’t just talk about it, we are doing it!”
What a week, time to rest!
Godrest and Godspeed,
David Baroni
