This post is about the series of worship seminars we held in Cluj, Romania. It’s number three in the trilogy of reports wrapping up my missions trip to eastern Europe. See all the posts in my Balkans missions trip series here.
Our seminars in Cluj-Napoca were awesome!
My 3 days in Cluj-Napoca marked the final leg of my 26 day assignment.
Cluj is a thriving college town with a youthful, optimistic energy. My good friends from SOZO, Nick and Carole Decean, organized the event with several other churches in the area. They invited me to speak and teach on biblical worship to train and equip their teams and ministries.
Worship
We held a series of seminars for three consecutive nights, 3 hours each night.
I introduced some new songs.
Shekinah Glory: Release the fullness of your Spirit!
Teaching
I mixed teaching with experiential worship, stories and songs that illustrated teaching points.

They wanted to keep it a small group for more interaction. There was plenty of group discussion with some very tough questions!
The issues brought up during Q&A inspired several ideas for articles.
The first being this series of posts on Character Guidelines for Worship Team Members:
- Biblical Character Necessary for Worship Leaders & Teams Pt.1
- Biblical Character Guidelines for Worship Leaders & Teams, Pt 2

CONCLUSIONS
The feedback on the event was fantastic.
A group of pastors have asked if I can return next year and present this teaching in a larger context in another city, so we’ll see.
I’m thankful for everything God allowed me to accomplish and experience. Thanks to everyone who prayed and supported my trip.
