Only God can do what he can do

I am a firm believer in the way God connects each one of us with the right people at the right time to accomplish His will. One of those moments happened to me in the summer of 2014. Missionaries to Italy, Randy and Diane McGehee, came and struck up a conversation with me at the Illinois District Council of the Assemblies of God. Through our conversation we were able to connect through music and that is when the Lord began to work and do only what he

Not only was I honored, but also nervous. This was such an important song that had huge impact all over the world. The reason I say around the world is that Randy and Diane minister to a large majority of international students from the University in Florence. They can have anywhere to 20-30 nations represented in their church services. God always has something much larger planned for His purposes that exceed our wildest

With the skills and talents God has given me in music and media, he has also provided opportunities to use those gifts and talents for His glory all around the world. While in Florence, I will be helping the ministry update their media to facilitate live web casting for their services. I will be training and equipping their musicians and worship leaders, and helping with Audio/Sound production and development. Together we can help missionaries Randy and

Facts About Florence

When I first heard the term “musicianary” I was instantly intrigued. It was as if God had planted a seed inside of me that I was not expecting. The seed was planted and through the years of my walk with Christ, it has grown to point where I am seeing the fruit. So what is a musicianary? A person who uses the gift of music given to them by God to bring His kingdom to the nations. Music is a key that opens the door to cultures around the world.

Florence Italy

Florence, capital of Italy’s Tuscany region and birthplace of the Renaissance, is home to masterpieces of art and architecture. One of its most iconic sites is the Florence Cathedral, with its terra-cotta-tiled dome engineered by Brunelleschi and bell tower designed by Giotto. The Galleria dell'Accademia displays Michelangelo’s “David,” while the Uffizi Gallery exhibits preeminent works such as Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and da Vinci’s “Annunciation.”
