Christian Musicians Boot Camp with Israel Houghton

July 23 – 25, 2009

 

 

“You pour out and give of yourself, week after week. Now it’s time to receive. It’s time to laugh, grow, meet new friends and sharpen your skills as we experience three days of intense training in instrument/vocal training, audio, and ministry training.

 

 

 

“Bring your worship team. If you’re hungry, you’ll be fed. If you’re drained, you’ll be refreshed, if you’re empty, you’ll be filled and if you’re dry, you’ll leave with passion!

Bring your weapon (instrument). Get ready for war!”
