I've always been the guy who leads the caroling on the city hall steps, or sets up a keyboard in the farmer's market, or writes a Gospel song for a school program or sets Scriptures to music for Released Time -- so while I don't have a specific "ministry", I'm interested in this subject, so here I am~<:<)

Hi Jerry:

I have also lead worship in prison.  I'm sure we can do some exchanging of stories.  I also know what you mean by your statement.  Welcome.

Hi I'm Jerry.  I just joined this group.   In church, I play various instruments ON the praise team, but weekly I lead worship in prisons. I often have inmates playing with me. Some are mature men of God, many are new Christians, some are pretenders looking for an excuse to play music again. It is often difficult to get them to worship through music instead of playing songs meant for worship. I have grace for that, but I am constantly trying to grow them from it with the players changing regularly.  I posted this as introduction of myself, not a search for advice, although I always try to listen to wise council.

Thank you for your commitment Elman: The truth is nobody sees you when you go to a nursing home so people don't think to try for a position because it doesn't come to mind and unfortunately you might get the "I don't have time for that" attitude from people too. Sad.

I lead worship once a month to a group of nursing home residents. I've lead worship in church for over 20 years. Don't do it anymore, (had too many people trying to take my position, cutting me down behind my back to my Pastor, etc. etc.) You know the funny thing is, no one is fighting to help me lead worship to these beautiful people. No one is trying to take my postion either. Imagine that.

Hello from Dallas Texas!

I am so glad to find a group that specifically relates to my situation....I am a public school choir, piano and guitar teacher who leads praise and worship during the summers at a church camp for 6 - 14 year olds. The church has been a great place to start but I find that many of my children will never go to ANY church and I can reach them in the public schools during the school year. I encourage them to continue to sing with us for 7 weeks during the summer and learn to praise God with freedom....God has been so faithful to allow me this opportunity to minister to my inner city students....God bless you all and stay strong in the Lord!
