So... scared and anxious would be an understatement! Jerrod, is about to lead the praise band at Frazer during the interim (between Rob's exit and the entrance of the new contemporary praise band leader), and needless to say we are both praying endlessly that he can keep up the legacy that Rob has built, not scare off members while bringing his own little flare to things, and lead people to a more personal relationship with Christ through worship. We are both pretty scared of what the next few weeks may hold. Not only did we never imagine that this would happen, Jerrod has no formal training, nor did he ever really think of being a praise band leader. Then to top it all off, it is one of the largest churches in the country, with one tough audience on Sundays. The only thing that is calming our nerves (and especially his at the moment) is knowing that God would never put you into a situation He thinks you can't handle.
I know that many of you may think I'm over-reacting. It's not like he's getting the job. It's only for several weeks. It's only a few hours in the week.
THIS IS A HUGE DEAL!!!!!!!!!! The whole reason we are put on this earth is to lead others to Christ. What if it is a person's first day in a church? What if ... this.... and that? I know that the Lord has a purpose for every path in life, but I pray every night that He may provide Jerrod with the right words to say and the right choice when faced with difficult decisions. I hope that each of you will pray for Jerrod as he being put in this position and those of you that do go to Frazer please keep in mind that he is new to this, he is not Rob, and he has a huge heart that's only desire is to do as the Lord guides him. Jerrod feel this to be a command from God and he is only being obedient to what the Lord is calling Him.
Please, please pray for him!!
