Exciting New Adventure!

Jump to Comments

Some people pull their hair out on a daily basis because of their career. Some people hate their job so much that they only live for the weekends. Some people become so stressed out because of their jobs, that their life becomes consumed completely. I’ve been fortunate enough to say that I’ve never been there. I’ve been blessed to have some pretty decent jobs in the past.  This is a whole new ball game though. This isn’t another job or “career path”. This marks the beginning of a new adventure; a new “journey”, if you will.  About 4 years ago I had the privilege of helping start an ever blossoming student ministry called REMIX at a church here in town called Fellowship Orlando. I started as just another member of the band, playing my bass guitar as usual. I continued to do so until the summer before last.  Our worship leader at the time wasn’t able to make it on our yearly mission trip and so I brought my acoustic guitar and for the first time (attempted t0) lead worship. I didn’t think I did a very good job – After all, I’m no singer! Our student pastor, Chad, somehow saw something in me that I did not. He challenged me to really take a deeper dive into this new realm of music and leadership.  He asked me to become the worship leader for REMIX.  After much prayer in seeking guidance on this, I embarked on a new journey.  God really took me out of my comfort level back then. He really challenged me and ultimately led me to make a larger impact that I could have ever imagined. Well, now it’s March of 2010 and it seems that He’s doing it again. After making my home at Discovery Church, where I’ve been plugged in for over 5 years and have been employed as the IT Director for 3 years, God has led me into a new direction.  He has opened a door for me over at Fellowship Orlando as their director of music and creative arts.  It was a tough move, but after a month of intense prayer and discussion between my wife and I, we feel that we are making the right choice.  It’s sad to leave the family that I have at Discovery, but it’s super exciting to start a new adventure over at Fellowship. I’m so stoked to use my gifts and passions in music and art to further The Kingdom! I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running on Monday morning!
