"I have been carrying this vision for many years since the time I had an experience with the Lord in my study in 1984. I was given a prophecy to teach the nations worship as a lifestyle (prophecy written below).The concept was new to me and it took some time to grasp what the Lord was saying.
Since that time I have travelled into many nations teaching and sharing the message of worship as a lifestyle and encouraging people to develop a lifestyle of worship using the resources God allowed me to develop. Many thousands have benefited greatly from the material in more than thirty nations since then.
Some may think that what we offer is related to music and singing, but this is not the case. These courses are teaching resources based on sound Biblical principles that help people understand the profound importance God has placed on worship and the positive lifestyle changes it will bring to their lives."

Prophetic Vision
In May of 1984, I was in my home study in Johannesburg, South Africa when I was suddenly aware of the wonderful presence of the Lord in the room. I felt led to write down impressions and thoughts in my heart that I knew were not of my own invention. During this time, I wrote the following words:
THE CHURCH: There's coming a time in the church when it won't rest, day and night. Congregations will get together in shifts (because they want to) and worship Him, and ‘Holy, Holy, Holy’ shall be their theme. All activities in the body will give way for worship, and worship will be the central theme for all activities. Countless of thousands will be swept into the churches day and night as the congregations continually flow into the sanctuary to worship the Most High God. They will be swept in like falling leaves upon a swift flowing river. Sundays will not be ‘the’ day of worship, but ‘another’ day of worship.
CONGREGATIONS: Will have to be instructed in praise and worship and will not be satisfied by hearing an occasional sermon on worship or by reading books on the subject, but will have to be shown how to live the word of praise and worship. Congregations will place demands on leadership to teach them how to praise and worship, and churches who refuse to praise in spirit and in truth will empty overnight, and those who do worship will be filled to overflowing. Congregations will stand outside the churches on the church grounds and parking lots and praise the Lord because they cannot get inside.
PASTORS: Will have to organize their church service format to accommodate praise and worship as the Holy Spirit has His way. As praise and worship goes forth, the Word of the Lord shall be clearer to the listeners than it has ever been before. Pastors and teachers will stand amazed at the growth and maturity of the worshippers and only God shall take the glory for it.
CHILDREN'S MINISTERS AND PASTORS: Get ready for a new wave of worship from children whose understanding in the things of God will overtake many who are unprepared. Godly children will separate themselves to praise and worship their Heavenly Father. They will not wait for those who teach worship, but those who practice it. They will go forth as a worshipping army that will astound even their teachers. Don't ever discourage their worship. Don't ever stop the flow. Encourage them as they stand before God and worship Him.
MUSICIANS: Will stand in line, totally submitted to Pastors and Music Directors willingly waiting for the opportunity to serve in the house of the Lord. Chief musicians will train them, and God will give those involved in music ministry the capacity to receive the equipping and anointing He requires for them. They will stand apart from sinful worldly music and their lives shall speak clearly of separation unto God.
SCHOOLS OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Not just seminars, but ongoing schools will exemplify worship to the congregations. Psalmody Schools will start all over the world to train the Body of Christ, psalmists and worship leaders. These schools will flourish like natural flowers in the desert after the rain, where no man has planted and no man has watered, but only God has prospered. The students from these schools will soon become the teachers and the teachers will move on. There will be a continual movement throughout the entire earth of holy men and women with an overwhelming desire and objective to exemplify praise and worship. Their job description will be given by the Most High God as ‘worshippers’ and they will have no need of anything the world can offer. They will be known by their love and loved by their knowing. They will have a supernatural ability to work and travel, to uproot, adapt and resettle, to move quickly and be highly efficient. They will bring glory and honor to the Most High God wherever they go and will never be glorified themselves. The servant's attitude of these men and women will touch even the ungodly and they will become known as worshipping servants who are loved and highly respected. All this shall be such a work of the Holy Spirit that no one will take any credit. Even the five-fold ministry shall melt into the congregation as we all stand before Him in adoration and awe.
