We had a couple great sessions this morning at the Worship Training Conference. During the lunch break we had two extra, optional sessions.
The first session was for drummers. Rob Schilz met with a group of people who play drums at their churches. He talked to them about how to best play drums and also how to care for their drums so they get the best sound out of them in different environments. The second session was for people who wanted to learn more about how to write songs. Jeff Moore led a group of people through song writing technique.
This afternoon, Cody Dowling is leading a session about the role of a technical person in church. Later, Jeff will be leading another session. I will write more later about what Jeff is presenting in his various sessions.

First update from India
Hello all.
We arrived in New Delhi late Saturday evening. We spent the night there at Hotel Lohias. We flew from New Delhi to Bagdogra on Sunday. Someone met us there and took us to Appolo Hotel, where we are staying till Friday.
As I wrote previously, we are here to hold a Worship Training Conference in Siliguri, West Bengal, a city in the far northeast section of India. We have over 60 people in attendance at the conference. It is so very exciting, to be here. It is a great blessing and privelage to have opportunity to be here and share with brothers and sisters in Christ how to more effectively lead worship.
We had some time Monday morning to adjust to the time change. The Worship Training Conference started Monday evening. We had one great session led by Jeff Moore, the Worship Pastor at Fellowship Church in Austin.
This morning we had a second session, again led by Jeff. Before that session through, we had a group of young people lead worship to kick off the day's activities. It is awesome seeing a group of people from another part of the world sing and praise the one God whom we all worship. He alone is worthy.
We just finished a short break and are now in the thrid session. Jeff is once again leading this session but with help from Rob Schilz, one of the drummers from our church. Cody Dowling, one of the sound guys from our church is running the sound board. I am just helping out where I can...and writing this blog post.
We will have several more sessions today, and two or three tomorrow. Although the internet connectivity is quite limited, I will write more as I have opportunity.
