we just finished a v v v exhausting but exhilirating three days intensive with steve kuban- this really anointed and talent worship leader/songwriter/pianist.

it was pretty incredible- we only met him thursday evening for our ONLY rehearsal. He wanted to rehearse through 20 songs for the concerts over the next two nights... in the end we only got through about 6 songs or so, because quite a bit of the time was spent fine tuning sound, and working on individual lines. He was really meticulous, which i guess did a real lot of good for the team. he practically worked on each vocal line and instrumental part. Learn a whole bunch from him on how to rehearse! Ended practice that night at 12:30, and by the time we sent everyone back, it was 1:30am... and as i was driving him back to Garden Hotel, where he was staying, as we chatted, we realized neither of us had any dinner... so we went down to newton food center for some supper, which was fun! i finally made it to the hotel at 3am, and got home... snoozed friday in, and did the friday night concert.

Quite an experience, these last few days... if Z3 were ever to really be serious about doing evangelistic outreaches/concerts, we'd better get prepared to be really stretched- spiritually, maturity, discipline and stuff... not to mention musically- we're miles from where we can be!... Press ON!!!

And today we met again to do a sound check for a set of portable audio equipment YI is buying for camp... quite a stretche really!

And if you're reading this, please do take a short moment to pray for Z3. the next 32 days to Christmas will be a real stretch for the team: demo recording, thailand mission (7 from the team), the remaining pple to do the svcs when they are away, YI camp (2 sessions as t team, plus some other individuals are helping out at PA or playing all througout camp), and finally, an evangelistic concert at Beauty World Shopping Center on 20th Dec...

Please pray for focus, for time to rehearse, and wisdom in putting it all together.

God gets all the glory!
