Worship Leaders
Several years ago I worked as the program director for Camp Highland. Part of my job was to line up worship leaders to come and lead worship for the campers that were spending the week in the mountains, outside of their comfort zones and doing some pretty gnarly activities. I had the pleasure of experiencing the styles and skills of many different worship leaders over my years there. One thing I came to learn, is that there is at least one thing that sets some worship leaders apart from others. It’s not skill with the guitar, quality of their voice, or knowledge of trendy worship songs. The main thing that sets them apart is that some come to “lead others into worship” while others come to “worship” and invite those of us around, to join in. I believe there is a difference between the two.
That is what I love about the Darja Children’s Choir. These Kids from Kenya come from backgrounds and circumstances that you and I can hardly imagine. Yet they worship. They worship with joy, passion, and authenticity and they invite those of us that are around to join them. I know Jesus is glorified and lifted up where ever they go, because regardless of the response of the audience… they worship Him!
(*Warning- Audiences all around the world have responded to God in a unique and authentic way while worshiping with the Daraja Choir. This can become dangerous to your status quo*)
Check the the video ^ of them worshiping at NewSpring Church last week.
