Hello friends,

Wanted to make you aware that our teaching series downloads are now only $1.99 each. (That is quite a reduction from $5 each).
We want to make these teaching MP3’s as affordable as possible because we want you to be inspired and encouraged with what Rita and I share in this Teaching Series.

Also, you can get a “web-only” discount on my new book “THE JAZZ PREACHER” and new FingerPaintings: Dream CD. Both for just $25.

Check out the new photo on the home page and also our promotional page.
Thank you for believing in this ministry!
Godrest and Godspeed,

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,

Rita and I just returned from 3 days at “The Cove”, The Billy Graham Training Center in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Asheville N. Carolina. We were guests of Dave Beuhring’s Lionshare Ministries to witness the historic “Fireside Chat With the Fathers of the Faith.”

How wonderful to see and hear men of God such as Winky Pratney, Jack Hayford, John Perkins, Lloyd Ogilvie, YWAM founder Loren Cunningham and Robert Schuller share their combined 350 years of ministry and life experience.

There were several powerful moments over the few days and I am grateful to be a part of that gathering. Be watching for the DVD set to be released around December.

So excited about the new cover for my book “The Jazz Preacher”.

I want to thank my friend Kent Booth at Blaze Publishing for his design team and expertise.
You folks that have written or are writing books would be wise to contact Kent at www.msicreative.com

I hope you will enjoy the book and my new FingerPaintings:Dream CD. Both are available at

The Worship Institute will be held at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport Hyatt this year from June 30-July 3rd. To register go to www.worshipinstitute.com

I will be conducting 2 Master classes, each 3 hours in length on Monday, June 30.

One Master Class is “The Prophetic Song”-The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory

Have you ever heard a sunrise? God makes the sunrise and sunset shout for joy. God speaks in many ways… “Can you hear me now?”… Good!
Come explore the power of song, the incredible, heavenly gift of music. Bring your adventurous heart and your questions.
What is prophetic song? When is it appropriate in a worship service? Does it have to be spontaneous to be prophetic? What in the world is God up?
There’s a song in the silence, a dance in the stillness.
By God’s enablement, I will give a biblical, sound foundation for the sounds of the Spirit of God being released in these exciting, challenging times.
Be refreshed and inspired as we learn more about His Kingdom, Power and Glory expressed through the Prophetic Song in and through us!

The other Master Class is “Keyboard Improvisation in Worship”.

Are certain chords “prophetic”? Why or why not? Can the sounds of heaven be released through the keyboard? How can we tap into the supernatural power of the Word and Spirit of God in our playing? We will examine melodies, voicings, inversions, sounds, “themes”, and rhythmic patterns. Also we will explore “the flow”, motives, discernment, following the Spirit of God and the Pastor and worship leader. We will look at playing solo, playing soloes, and playing with a worship team. Be inspired creatively, encouraged musically and refreshed spiritually!

Would love to see you in Dallas! You can register seperately for the Master Classes by clicking here:

I am emotional today.
Yesterday my son-in-law Ben and his bride, my daughter Bethany, introduced me to a song written by John Mark McMillan and led by Kim Walker called “How He Loves”.

I was blown away starting at the very first lines:

“He is jealous for me
He is a hurricane I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy…”

I highly recommend you acquiring this song, recorded live on the “We Cry Out” CD from Bill Johnson’s church in Redding, CA. Just go on Itunes and enter “How He Loves” and “Kim Walker” as the artist.

The freshness of the lyric, the obvious passion in Kim Walker and the well-done, heartfelt musical arrangement is a wonderful vehicle for the incredible love of God.

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, with all this time of walking with the Lord, but I am amazed and delighted and overwhelmed afresh with the sense of His fiery love. “God loves us” can’t remain merely a soothing, sappy cliche’ when we really get a glimpse of His passionate heart for us…

God’s love sets us free from, again in the words of the song, the need to “maintain our regrets
when we think about the way… He loves us, Oh How He loves us”!

I am emotional for another reason:
Our daughter Charity is moving to L.A. on Thursday, May, 1st to pursue her dreams of being involved in the entertainment field. We are so for her and I believe she will do well and wonderfully there and… I am going to miss her so!

Godrest and Godspeed,
David Baroni
