PowerTech BlogBeing a techie for God's Youth

Well, here we are again, with another new edition. Sorry about the delay, life sometimes happens faster than you may think.

Snow retreat was awesome and things went very well for the weekend. We were once again challenged by Pastor Jon Summers and Ward 9 come down and lead worship for us. We were able to do a few new things this year thanks to having a few extra computers. Powerhouse purchased a new computer this past fall to use Media Shout 3.5. I have been hearing some good things about the newest 4.0 version but have not tried it as of yet. Why?

Well, for the past 10 months, our main church has been without a worship director/pastor. So most of these types of decisions have been put on hold for a while. A few weeks ago, we had a candidate by the name of Ronnie Martin come out and lead worship. Funny how God works in these areas, and that is what I wanted to share today.

One of our secretaries has been a huge fan of  a “Tooth and Nail” record label group called “Joy Electric.” So as a way to promote the school that I am also associated with, she set up a concert with “Joy Electric”, “Travelogue”, and one other group. Ronnie Martin is the lead for Joy Electric. So while he was here, our secretary was telling him a little about the church and our need for a new worship director. Not thinking anything about him being interested or anything, he called a few days later and asked a little bit more about the position. To make a long story short, he applied; our Senior pastor and our church moderator went out to hear him lead worship in his church. A month ago, they asked him to come and lead worship here. He was called as our next worship director and now the rest is in God’s hand.

I am always amazed at how God orchestrates these things according to his plan and purpose. 6 months ago, we were anxiously awaiting to find someone, almost a year later, God has placed someone according to His will.

As techies, we can never underestimate the power of God or where it will lead. We must always try to give our best, and yet be flexible enough to change at God’s prompting. So, where is that leading me today? I keep trying to work on the website for our Powerhouse group, and now it is on to the new school website. I’m not sure how soon it will be up, but I’m looking forward to watching how God will orchestrate the changes and mold and shape us, myself included, to get the job done.

Blessings and more to come soon.
