Men and women are often first impacted by the message of Jesus in song, story, art or drama. Then they want to talk about it. Musicians and other artists are a vital part of reaching people, planting churches and inspiring vision for cross-cultural mission. Some of the most potent ways to share and celebrate the gospel are through creative means.
WEC’s Resonance team want to see believers from unreached people groups released to use the music and arts with the greatest resonance in their own cultural context, for powerful gospel communication, life-transforming discipleship and liberating worship. Their worship band combines styles and music tastes from all over the world to create a vibrant multicultural sound.
Workshops focus on how ethnically diverse congregations can worship together, using music that better represents members and visitors. Lively discussions mingle with learning praise songs from various nations to take back to your church or group.
