On 22/08/09, we held Worship Workshop for the first time ever in Daniels – organised by Pethuel aka Gin. It was a great time for all of us learing about the true meaning of worship. I was assigned to share about how God has called me into worship ministry especially in the area of vocal. It was not just a great time of outdoor praise and worship we had but  it was once again a time where I renewed my attitude toward worship and this event brought me back to the simplicity of worship.

This is some points of what I imparted on that day, hope it will encourage you to realise the calling of God upon your life:

Being a vocalist for God, How and Why:

• Before I became a Christian, singing was my hobby and it is still.  God has put this talent in me even before I found Him.

• I became a Christian in year 2002 in Thailand, the moment I first walked into the church (Hope Suratthai), God used music to minister to my heart. God used worship songs to touch my heart to the point where I decided to believe in Him.

• In Hope Suratthani, I was touched to see people sang as if God was right there in front of them.  Soon after I have committed myself to Hope Suratthani, God started to put a desire in me to serve as a vocalist in the church. Being a vocalist for God is a calling that God has put in me since an early stage of my Christian walk. I remember I was seeing singers on the stage and I was telling God that one day I will be on there, singing for Him too – it was just a mere and sincere desire God put in my heart.

• When I was a young Christian back in Thailand, I just wanted to serve God with what I have. I believed that singing is talent and gift God put in me and I am committed to use that to serve the Lord

• God has created me to be an expressive person; I believe God wants to see expressive worshippers.  God told me that He will use my expression of praise and worship to encourage others to expressively worship God with all their heart despite our Thai culture ie. Thai people can be reserved when they worship God.

• I decided to join the worship team in Hope Hatyai (Thailand) and I actively served as a vocalist in Hope Hatyai until I came to Brisbane – the calling to serve God in a worship ministry is still burning so I begun to serve in Ablaze LG as a backup singer, choir in WAM and now support vocalist for church service.  

I always remind myself with the story of 2 fish and 5 loaves in John 6:1-15. I want to be like that boy who offers all that he had for Jesus. My voice is like my 2 fish and 5 loaves unto God – although it is not much, limited and may seem to be useless in people’s eyes, but I believe after I have offered it up to Him, He will causes it to multiply so it can bless His people. Like how 2 fish and 5 loaves can bless the 5,000 people.I know, I am called by Him to sing for Him!
