Greetings! I am currently typing this news update in my hotel room in Fullerton, CA while my son is fast asleep. We just finished two powerful weeks of summer camps in the San Bernardino Mountains and are getting a breather before I minister again for the Saturday P.M. and Sunday A.M. services at The Rock in Anaheim. It has been a grueling summer of ministry and project preparation. Speaking of projects, my new CD has been mastered and is being prepared for manufacturing. It should be released sometime around the first of August. It will also be available on iTunes by then as well. I will be posting a special video promotion on our blog page and to all our Worship in Drive subscribers in the next few days. This video will also be available on iTunes for the album purchase only. For those of you who have been waiting a long time for the audio recording of I'LL JUST WORSHIP, you won't have to wait any longer. As a special feature we have included both the studio and the 12:25 minute live recording of this song. It's been a long time coming and I know it won't disappoint. Please continue to pray for us as we still have quite a run in the following weeks and we need the strength and wisdom of God to navigate all that is coming. Keep checking back for more updates. KTF!

Well, we've finished all our tracking for my solo CD worship project. What a long road it's been but God knows what He's doing. I have posted a new Worship in Drive on my blog page with more details so be sure to check it out. Also our new book is about 98% completed. I've shared a little bit about that as well on the latest vlog. It is alway a joy of mine to keep you updated on what God is doing in my life and ministry. Continue to pray for us as we ignite the flame of worship in people's hearts everywhere! KTF!

What a month it's been. Of course you all know we have released our new Kid's CD NOISE last month. It was a smash. So far the CD is doing well. You can download it on iTunes as well as order a copy at www.kidpak.org/kp7. Just recently I was privileged to minister at this year's FOCUS conference in Greenville, SC. This was a conference designed for children's pastors and leaders from all over the country and around the world. God used me to really touch the hearts of these faithful leaders as well as resource them with our Kid's worship CD's. These folks will agree that there's nothing like it out there in the way of kid's worship. You should get your copy today! Now onto my solo project... It is coming along nicely but we still have a little ways to go. I will be in studio sessions in April to tie up the loose ends. So don't give up on me yet. We're almost finished and I promise you this long 2 year wait will be totally worth it. Also, I am in the finishing phases of my new book. I will be doing some live video updates in the near future to talk about it along with other exciting new ministry ventures on the table. Keep checking back for more updates... KTF!

Join me and the Free Chapel Kid's Worship band KP7 for our latest CD Release Concert on Wednesday, 2.3.10 at 7pm here at the KidPak Auditorium at Free Chapel, Gainesville, GA. Space is limited so come early and bring a truck load of kids. This is a worship experience you will not want to miss! Take today's hottest sounds like the Music, Fall Out Boy, the Killers, All American Rejects, The Hives, Switchfoot, Cold Play, Nickelback, U2, The Black Eyed Peas (and even a little guitar hero)... Mix them all together and what do you get... KP7 - NOISE! Grown ups and kids agree... KP7 is bringing back retro with a whole new vibe for kid's worship music. These 13 original tracks rock the megaphone that we love Jesus and we're not ashamed to make some crazy noise about it! Also note that the CD will be available for digital download purchase on iTunes, Lime Wire, Rhapsody and Napster after 2.9.10. I will send out further updates as the CD becomes available online and through our website. Check out the latest post on my blog page for more details. Keep the flame (KTF)!

As the year comes to a close I want to update you all on things... We are still working toward our record completion. I know it's been a long process but the finances haven't come in as quickly as we had anticipated. We are still about $10,000 shy of our goal. However, our kids record is due for release on February 3, 2010 and I have completed my first full manuscript of my book (310 pages). Our book is also in it's first editing phase. All I can tell you is this book is going to be an awesome tool that God will use to help people get free and stay that way. I've never been more excited about any project in my life. More news on that later. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy your families, eat a ton of cookies and tear open those presents. However, most of all Give this Christmas away to someone who needs to know God's love, acceptance and forgiveness. Let God's grace flow through you like never before. Love is a verb so get to it and show the world the Love of Jesus this season. Also, don't forget that Jesus loves YOU dearly. He is the best Christmas gift of all!

I am extremely excited about what God is doing in my life and ministry. I am getting so close to finishing my CD. I expect to release it in January or early February of 2010. Also, my book is coming along very nicely and is going to be a powerful tool for ministry in helping to remove the cloud of condemnation for many. The revelations that God has been giving me will ignite confidence in people to draw nearer to God in worship and to live the extraordinary life that God intended them to live. I just finished another chapter this evening and am feeling the overwhelming sense of approval of the Holy Spirit as I write. The anointing from this book will break the yokes of bondage in people's hearts all over this great country of ours and around the world. Continue to check back here for more news and be sure to visit my blog page. Blessings!

Hey everyone! I wanted to remind all of you that I have posted some very inspiring blogs to encourage you along the way. Lately I've been blogging alot about God's grace in preparation for a new book that I hope to release sometime in the beginning of 2010. Of course I'm still working on my CD project. We're about 80% finished and are on the homestretch to reach our goal. We have just a short way to go before we wrap it up. I'm very excited as I believe these songs are going to minister to alot of people and help draw people closer to the loving heart of our Father God. If you're interested in finding out more about our progress I have posted a couple of videos on my blog page dated August 18 (with special guest James Katina) and September 22 (with my producer, Sal Oliveri). I've invited my friends to join me on these updates to help promote the CD. If you have some time, check them out! Blessings!

God has opened many doors for us this past year and given my song "I'll Just Worship" wings. Recently I led worship for one of our main worship services at Free Chapel and was asked impromptu by my pastor to sing it during the altar call. It has been posted on my youtube page as well as our blog page. Hope it blesses you. Also, check out our blog page for a powerful 2 part Reel Worship Video Blog series entitled It's All In Your Head. I know it will encourage you and empower you towards higher dimensions in the way you relate to God!
::May 27, 2009::
I wanted to remind you to keep checking back to our website often for updates on our upcoming CD release this Fall. I am so excited about this record as every lyric and song represents the amazing work God has been doing in my life and ministry this past two years. I have had an incredible encounter with a deeper revelation of the Grace of God! Also keep checking back on my blog page often as I will be titling these blogs GRACEWORKS. If you know anything about the true Biblical concept of grace you will know that this is a play on words. God's Grace is the opposite of self efforts towards towards our right standing with God. God already loves and favors you. Rest in that and cease from striving to make God happy with you!

I am currently in Anaheim, California ministering at the National Foursquare Conference for the next four days. I am the special guest worship leader for the J12 kid's event with Gregg Johnson. J12 means Jesus at 12. Gregg has an amazing ministry that reaches 'tweeners' (ages 8-12) all over the country. His passion is for kids to accept their purpose and fully involve themselves in God just as Jesus did in the temple at 12 years of age. I am honored that God has connected me to Gregg and using me to reach a generation before we have to rescue them. In the book Next Level Parenting by Dr. Rich Rogers, it says that by the age 12 a child will have developed most of his philosophy of God, church and basic Christianity for the rest of his life. This is such a critical age and I take very seriously the role I play in my ministry to reach kids through worship. After this event I'll be over at our Free Chapel location in Irvine to minster for the Sunday services. I also wanted to let you know that the Babbie's House videos have been posted on my blog page. Check it out! I Hope the footage encourages and inspires you. Keep checking back for more updates!
::May 12, 2009::
The last couple of months have been very busy. I was recently invited to be a guest on Babbie's House with Babbie Mason on TV 57 in Atlanta and it aired on April 25. I will be posting some of the footage of this program on my YouTube page soon. God has been overwhelming me by the power of His grace and it is transforming my life and ministry. Recently I ministered a 4-day God encounter at the Dagsboro, Church of God in Dagsboro, DE. We had an awesome time in the presence of God and the church was truly blessed. There was a powerful touch of the Holy Spirit on the worship and the altars were full every night as many were set free, healed and delivered. In short is was one of the best weeks of ministry I have experienced in a long time. I truly believe as God radically transforms our lives we can in turn touch and radically transform the lives of others around us. This is exactly what is happening to me! By the way, my new CD project is getting closer to completion. We have 2 more songs to fully track and it will be released hopefully by the Fall of this year. Keep checking back for more updates!

For those of you who didn't get to see it, I have posted my TBN airing on my blog page. It was officially aired on January 19, 2009. You can also watch it on my youtube page as well. It was a honor for me to be asked by my pastor to be a part of the program. God is opening doors and I am excited to be used by Him to ignite the flame of worship in hearts around the world. Keep checking back for more updates!
::January 16, 2009::
Hey All... I've been back in the studio working on my new solo project to be released later this year. I have put samples in the media player for you to check out. Of course I won't spoil it for you so I'm just going to give you some snippets of the tracks. I am so excited about this record. We are currently working on our 8th song and have a few more powerful songs of worship and ministry in the oven. Soon friends... Soon! Be blessed and keep checking back for more news on the project and other exciting ministry happenings.
::January 14, 2009::
I just finished taping for TBN last night in Costa Mesa, CA as the special musical guest. It could not have gone better. God's presence was with me every moment and great favor has come of it. Along with my pastor and host, Pastor Jentezen Franklin, were other notable guest pastors such as Benny Perez, Jonathan Wilson, Judah Smith and Phil Muncy. There was a powerful flow of worship, ministry, response and release with the people on every segment and song on the program. I felt completely at peace and empowered by the Holy Spirit to freely minister. Pastor Franklin has already asked me to do it again (TBA). On the jet back we had time to discuss the possibilities of future appearances. The airing for the taping is tentatively set for Monday 1.19.09 at 2pm PST (5pm EST our time). For those of you signed up for our news letter you will be receiving an official update soon... Keep the flame!
::January 12, 2009::
We're already beginning production for our next Free Chapel KidPak CD to be released this fall. Our first song is completed and we're off to the races for the rest. I'll keep you posted as more develops. All the songs will be originals this time around. It is amazing to see the flame of worship in the hearts of the kids!
::January 7, 2009::
What's up everyone! Happy new year. You may have noticed that I no longer have the myspace tab at the top as an option. That's because I have officially signed off of myspace for good! Also, I will be posting new music in the player at the top as we continue to move toward completion of our long anticipated CD to come out this year. Of course I'm only letting you hear snippets as not to spoil the record. You'll have to wait for the full release to hear all of the music in it's entirety.

It's 10:26 P.M. and I just settled in here in Phoenix, AZ. I'll be ministering at Cathedral Christian Center for the Sunday A.M. & P.M. services. I am expecting God to move in a powerful way. I had to leave Atlanta after the 3rd quarter of my son's basketball game. He is a monster in the middle at almost 6-feet and size 12 shoe (did I mention he is only 12-years old and in the 6th grade). I have been close friends with Delta every weekend this month. It is hard being away from my family but God's call is strong and the doors are open. As I have been reflecting on the approaching season I am ever more thankful. Although I have been on the road alot lately, in times like these it is great to be able to fly around the country and minister. I am working and this is a blessing to know that I have means whereby the gospel can go forth and I can provide for my family. I know many of you have been worried lately about the economy and where this country is headed. Let's remember that God has NEVER failed his people. If we have been faithful to put God's Kingdom first then we can be sure that in time of need He will provide for us. God's promises aren't just for the good times. They were given to remind us that He will be there for us when things aren't good. The promises of God are FOR THE HARD TIMES! I love it when God's promises come to pass when I need them to. Aren't you?
By the way... Happy Thanksgiving! Remember to Give God an extra heaping helping of thanks this holiday... and sure enough you'll see God's goodness come shining through!

Let's be in prayer for our newly elected President; Barrack Obama and his family. This is our responsibility and more importantly our high and holy calling (1 Timothy 2:1-3). God has all authority in His hand (Matthew 28:18) and distributes power as He wills (Luke 10:19; Romans 13:1). Our government and all the governments of the world are ultimately upon the shoulders of Jesus (Isaiah 9:6). Let's keep our focus on God, obey His command to pray for all who are in authority, and He will not fail to perform His promise that all will go well with us.
Now is not the time to fear (Psalms 27:1-5). Rather it is a time to exercise great faith in God and trust Him to work ALL THINGS together for our good (Romans 8:28)! As Christians we still have a powerful voice to impact this generation. However, our influence is primarily with God through worship and intercession. As we move the heart of God with our cries into the Heavens, He will move the hearts of men no matter what seat of authority they hold upon this earth. Our prayer should be whatever decisions are made in our nation's capital would ultimately advance the Kingdom of God and bring honor and glory to Jesus Christ!
"The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord: He turns it wherever He wishes." (Proverbs 21:1)

I am currently sending this update from Sunny SoCal. West coast time is 6:50pm. I'll be ministering at THE ROCK in Anaheim for 3 Kids services on the a.m. and then at our FREE CHAPEL location in Irvine for the evening service in KidPak. I love kids and am expecting an awesome weekend in God's presence as he pours His spirit out on these precious children.
These are exciting times. The Devil wants us to think that we should be afraid. Anxiety is gripping many of God's men and women. I'm not giving in. I'm pressing into all God has for me. The enemy would so distract us with lies and fear and divert our attention away from God's glory at work. I'm choosing not to give any of my attention to the works of darkness but rather I'm keeping my focus on the light. God's Kingdom is coming to Earth and the devil can't block it. He can only try to get us confused. As God's Kingdom comes closer to the earth, Demonic activity will heighten. But that's when God's people will arise to their destiny. Isaiah 60:1-2 says, "Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; BUT THE LORD WILL RISE UPON YOU." We don't need congress to bail us out. We've already been bailed out by the blood of Jesus! God will take care of us and provide our every need and the gospel will go forth. In Him we have all the finances, joy, peace and anointing that we need. Don't believe in any of the bad news. Yes it's bad out there but we have a promise from God that He will be with us all the way to the end.
This is going to be a pivotal month in the history of our nation. Please vote! I already cast my ballot. And a word to all my brothers and sisters in Christ... Please vote the Bible in your convictions and dreams for our country. God has not forsaken us and is still waiting in the wings for those who will pray and show themselves loyal to His purposes for our nation. Our cry should be for MERCY and then a change will surely come. And THAT is the change we REALLY NEED. God still loves America and our greatest days in the body of Christ are just ahead. Don't be afraid of anything. God is God and He has not abandoned His plans for the awesome destiny for His bride; the Church of the living God.

CeCe Winans CD came out today and my song Unrestrained (co-written with Calvin Nowell) is on it. Go get it and let God bless you with it. I haven't even heard it yet but I'll get my copy soon enough. To God be ALL THE GLORY!

So welcome to the new website! Thanks to Phil Rogers Designs we're up and running. While the site has changed I have remained true to my passion to awaken a hunger for God's presence in hearts everywhere. Please note that we have replaced all the music from our old website with a preview of 4 singles from my latest solo CD project to drop sometime in 2009. You can also watch 3 selected videos from my latest LIVE Worship DVD on the 'media' page. I hope you will sense the presence of the Lord as strong as it was on the night we recorded it. To order this project simply click on the 'store' tab at the top or you can click the link directly at the top of this 'news' section.
As many of you know, along with my travels abroad, I also serve as the Children's Worship Pastor at Free Chapel in Gainesville, GA under Pastor Jentezen Franklin. It is one of my deepest desires to ignite the flame of worship in the next generation. There is a powerful prophetic move of God taking place with children and I am humbled that God has allowed me to be on the cutting edge of what He is doing.
Speaking of kids... Be on the lookout for the new Free Chapel Kid's CD Sun Shining Bright (to be released later this month). Forget everything you've heard in children's worship! From the moment you listen to the first track you'll know why this is not your typical kids worship CD! Adults, teens and children of all ages will relate with it's passion and vibe! You can find out more about this awesome project and discover what the incredible ministry of KidPak is all about at www.kidpak.org... God bless and thanks for stopping by. Please check back often for more updates!
