Global
Worship Report
The AD2000 Movement Worship and Arts Network (now transitioning into
being called the INTERNATIONAL WORSHIP & ARTS NETWORK has made the GWR
available by email (free), as well as on the web site: Global
Worship Reports
New site: International
Worship & Arts Network
The GWR has become a regular email survey of events, people and issues
pertaining to the arts and worship from various places. It includes
reviews of materials, summaries from worship writings and articles,
etc. They cover a variety of topics each time. Their focus is global,
and therefore they hope to inform and inspire you with the things that
God is doing in many parts of the world. While music-related issues
will undoubtedly get plenty of exposure, they hope to cover many aspects
of artistic expression.

ETHNIC
WORSHIP & ARTS FOCUS NEWSLETTER
This is an invitation to begin to receive the free, monthly,
email Ethnic Worship & Arts Focus Newsletter...To subscribe, send an
email requesting the same to: --gracew@skybiz.com --
This newsletter, which began in Nov98, has become a regular email update
of events, people and issues pertaining to the utilization of ethnic
music and the arts in church planting among the unreached. We also include
articles that will encourage you to become firmly established in your
own biblical calling as a Great Commission musician or artist.
We include reviews of materials, articles, stories of how God is using
ethnic music and the arts among the unreached, resources which will
help you, opportunities that you can prayerfully consider, prayer items,
little blurbs to introduce other ministries working among unreached
people through music and the arts, related web sites, training opportunities,
etc. We cover a variety of topics each time.
We hope to encourage and inform you with the things that God is doing
and inspire you to prayerfully consider creative ways in which God may
want to use your gifts and desires to see all nations worshipping Jesus!
While ethnic music aspects receives the most attention, we do hope to
also include the utilization of other arts as well. Your input and submissions
in all areas noted above will be greatly appreciated! Thankyou! -- gracew@skybiz.com
--
May God use these newsletters to encourage and inspire you and to help
equip you to fully utilize your gifts so all nations may come to worship
Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, for He alone is worthy!
