Want to help me pack for Rome? An amazing thing has happened in Italy. For the first time an Evangelical church owns property in the city of Rome! The city government gave 2 acres to Pastor Valerio, a leader among Italian Evangelicals, to build his church. He and I met last May while I was ministering in Padova, near Venice, and put together a plan for another first- the Rome Worship Conference 2008. He is inviting worship leaders from across Italy to come for a week of teaching and outreach. I have sent my writings on worship to be translated, printed and given to these leaders. I'll be accompanied by Randy Stonehill, Mike Pachelli & my band. Together we'll teach, sing and pray with the Italian worship musicians. We'll also do open air concerts in the piazzas to draw folks to Pastor Valerio's church. Our ministry is paying for the translation and printing of the materials. We're also taking instruments and other musical supplies with us to give away to worship musicians who cannot afford to buy equipment. |

 Taking the clan to Scotland!This July the Kilpatrick family of the Colquhoun clan of the Scots will return to the land of their forebears. For two weeks we'll go from Inverness to Edinburgh singing & preaching. My four sons and one daughter have put together a band that will play in and out of churches in any and every pub, street corner and park that'll have 'em. We've even recorded a CD of them! My daughters-in-law have prepared a children's teaching curriculum and will be ministering to the Scottish children. Of course, the patriarch (that's me!) will be singing and speaking as well. This will be my third trip to Scotland in two years. I have noticed two things that have given this trip with my family added significance. First, the churches of Scotland are empty. Since the revivals of John Knox, the churches have failed to capture the public's need for spiritual nurture. Many of the churches have been sold and converted into dance clubs and taverns! The other thing I noticed is that the Scottish families are in need of a recentering. Just as in America, divorce and non-commitment are rampant. Children are born into families without love or a sense of a spiritual heritage. Having my family there before them will be a powerful picture of what a family can do when they stand together for God. |
