Leading Worship Events in Asia 22 June - 04 July, 2012 Worship Leader Boot Camps/Conferences Worship Concerts Specialty Classes

Led by the worshipASIA team, made up of worship musicians from North Carolina, USA

Do your worship teams need some direction?

Do you know how to put together sets of music for worship that flow smoothly and seem to have a logical progression? 

Do you need some assistance in how to effectively plan worship that engages the congregation in the worship of God? 

Do you know how to effectively rehearse the instrumentalists for each week's worship service?

Coming in the summer of 2012, worship consultant and conference leader, Kenny Lamm, will be in several countries in Asia, including Malaysia and Singapore, with a worship team to provide worship leadership training. People interested in improving their skills and understanding of worship leadership will have opportunity to be involved in intensive training during a regional event

The team will be offering a Worship Leader Boot Camp/Worship Conference in several regions of Asia.  The conference will set the foundations for biblical worship and dig deeply into learning how to plan and implement worship that honors God and draws His people to Him each week in the local church. Topics include:

Kenny Lamm, senior consultant for worship and music for the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (an association of 4,300 churches), served 23 years as worship pastor of Front Street Baptist Church in Statesville, North Carolina. The church experienced worship renewal under his leadership and became a model for many churches seeking to transform and improve their worship services. Kenny is a frequent worship clinician and guest worship leader. His heart for the nations has also taken him to international fields of service. He and the worshipASIA team have led worship training events extensively in recent years, with a strong focus on training leaders in Southeast Asia. Kenny has gained much insight into worship in Southeast Asia after five worship leader equipping tours through many regions of Malaysia, Singapore, and other Asian countries, including two months living in Kuala Lumpur, working with churches in worship renewal. The curriculum used in these training events continues to be used extensively in equipping worship leaders in churches in the US and Asia; thousands of people have attended these events. Kenny’s blog, www.RenewingWorshipNC.org, has received international attention for its practical helps for worship leaders. Kenny received his bachelor’s degree in music from the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, master’s degree in church music from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, and completed doctoral studies in worship to receive the Advanced Graduate Certificate in Worship Studies from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois. He is married to Sandy and has two children – Kevin (Furman University) and Katie (UNC-Chapel Hill). The family resides in Sanford, North Carolina.

What People Are Saying about the Worship Leader Boot Camp & Meetings

As Senior Pastor of Hopewell Baptist Church, I found myself less than excited when our Minister of Music asked me to attend the Worship Leader Boot Camp—a fancy name for a worship conference in January 2011. The daunting responsibilities of leading a thriving church family are a 24/7 job, and, frankly, I was a bit irritated that I had even been asked to accompany our Music Minister—surely he could handle this on his own. So imagine my surprise when I found myself totally enthralled with Kenny Lamm and his leadership throughout the entire experience! Every detail was attended to, questions raised and answered and he has a powerful delivery of a very simple message: “We were created to worship!” I found myself challenged in my preconceived notions of worship and was able to look beyond that to the true purpose of actually leading our congregation to our King! (Dr. Lee Pigg, Hopewell Baptist Church, Monroe)

The things I learned at boot camp were exactly what I needed. It has been my desire to be a worship leader rather than a choir director and here I found the resources, tools, guidance and a vision of the direction to lead the church in. I was very impressed with the study of worship in the Bible and all of the practical tips. The demonstrations were also beneficial to see how best to transition from one song to the next. The worship leader guidebook is very informative and an asset to have. At camp I caught a glimpse of what worship can and should be and it fed my soul! (Charla Buchanan, Robbinsville First Baptist)

I have already spoken and forwarded information to other musicians about the workshop, Excluding the Bible, I think this is the best Worship tool anyone can have in their library. We laughed, we cried and we healed spiritually. I’ll never worship the same again, and I will do it again. It’s about the audience of one, God. (Joel Robertson, South Estatoe Baptist, Micaville)

As pastor, I was confirmed in the direction that our worship team and I have been going. Worship is not about contemporary versus traditional, but about engaging our congregation to encounter the Lord. The time spent with my worship team helped in bonding us together in this common purpose. (Bob Ferguson, Archdale First Baptist)

The things they don’t teach you in college that you can only learn in an experience &/or mentoring scenario, were what I most remember. It was immensely helpful. I could have stayed eight more hours. (Jennifer Lassiter, Archdale First Baptist)

Mostly an appreciation for the fact that there is someone out there helping churches and worship leaders understand the biblical importance of what we do, the need to do it to the best of our ability, and the need to be relevant in relating to our congregations. The section on personal and corporate worship was something everyone who sings or plays in a church should hear. (Chris Jolly, Nags Head Church)
