worship leader

If any of you ever get the chance to see Kirk Franklin in concert.....GO.

About 3 years ago, I was playing electric guitar for a worship band at a conference in Tennessee where about 15,000 youth attended. One night, they had Kirk Franklin come and put on a concert. It was by far, the one of the best worship experiences I've had. The man is incredible! I've never seen an artist capture their audience like he did. So, if any of you ever hear of him coming any where near (5 hours or so) from Champaign, let us know.

I'd highly reccommend listening to any of his CD's. Even if you you aren't a fan of R&B (like me) or Gospel music, Franklin deserves a listening to. Right now, Kortny's family is going through a tough time with her Grandma. Last night, I downloaded Franklin's new album called, "Song for the Storm, Volume 1". Like anything else he does, the Album is genuine and encouraging. I highly, highly recommend it to buy and keep in your library for a day where you need some encouragement...
