I believe God speaks to me in dreams. I've no doubt of that. The reason for this website starts with a dream.

In about 2004 I had a dream and in that dream I saw the entire world on it's knees worshiping God. I saw people from different nations on their knees worshiping. Then it zoomed out so that I could see the earth in it's entirety and saw that the worship of the nations was rising up like wisps of smoke and God was breathing it in and He was well pleased and His spirit descended onto the earth like a blanket, thick and heavy. In His presence, there was no room for evil, when evil fled, the sick were healed, the blind were seeing, the lost were saved and the nations were celebrating.

That is pretty much the dream. I met with my pastor and worship leader and spoke to them about it and was about to start to do something about it but I heard the Lord say that it wasn't time yet. So I had to let it go. I do feel that I am to do something about it now and thats why the website. I know of no other tool that I can use or afford that has the reach of a website these days.

The Worship Journals is about one thing and that is increasing and igniting worship among the nations and documenting it. We sometimes worship a small God who we think lives in our church. We need a larger perspective. We need to see the big picture, that people all over the earth are worshiping, the same time you are, and in other parts when you sleep. Worship is happening 24/7 365 days a year and we don't know it. But we are a part of it.

The Worship Journals is just that, it is just worship, non-denominational. It is worship, like in Heaven where there is no denomination. It is about unity in worship. It is not about Christian music, not about bands, not about worship leaders. It is about worshiping God, it is about documenting the stories of people of the world worshipping God and to stir up even more worship on a global scale at the same time crying out with a desperate cry , to the Holy Spirit to move, inviting God's presence.

I'm the "dreamer". I'm part of the Marietta Vineyard Church worship team. I grew up in India and worked for Vineyard Music India for 3 years during which I was introduced to Jesus in a new way and (Vineyard) Worship was instrumental in that process. It worked the same way for a few of my friends too. Thats why I believe that worship is also evangelical. It speaks to that part of a person where humans don't have access to. I remember singing randome made up songs to God before I was a believer, worship is in our default setting.

I'm the "make it happen" guy. I'm part of North Point Ministries in Atlanta, Georgia. I grew up in a suburb in Kentucky where the churches of the community really worked to form an environment of worship for dedicated believers. I saw this environment and community transform the lives of the people in and around those churches, and I have a heart to encourage that same level of worship everywhere I go. I have no musical talent, whatsoever, but that only makes me more and more aware of the fact that worship comes in may other forms.
