Pastor Comments and Others from the November 2011 Seminar/Celebration
Norman & Fannie Doromal
Lighthouse Christian Fellowship
The evening celebration was one of the best that I've participated in for quite a long time. Thank you for the wonderful seminar and celebration. Our team was truly blessed by it. God bless you.
Leroy & Leversie Johnson
"We thouroughly enjoyed the seminar and believe everthing came off very well. The speakers were informative, but we do believe there could have been fewer speakers allowing for more time for the speakers. The finale celebration was grand and the sound was good. We look forward to the next event; please keep us informed."

What an awesome time of ministry, teaching and fellowship we had on Saturday. The caliber of people you brought in to share with us were "top notch"; and I'm not just referring to their talent, but most importantly their heart to serve and pour into the lives of others. I know all were blessed personally as well as their congregations are going to be blessed as the insights and new understandings gained are taken back to their respective places of worship.
Most importanly I believe San Francisco (and the Bay Area) will be changed, for the better, because of the "Spirit" anointed and blessed worship released over our city that evening. Thank-you, Rich; keep up the good work (ministry)!
PS: Your attention to detail and keeping us on schedule through a packed day without quenching the Spirit...wow! Job well done! Let me know when you do the next "Who Am I?" locally so I can get more of our team there to receive the blessing.
Seth & Maria Waters
#1 – My favorite thing about this gathering was the heart of the people involved. While Rich did an incredible job organizing this as an event, the day came alive as people from many different gatherings of believers came together to seek the heart of God. There was unity among the believers and it was a powerful thing! Yeah God!
#2 – I was very satisfied with the event. I think next time we will learn to better promote the night of worship so we can have more people there but even with the few it was very powerful. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for your heart to serve our movement. We are blessed by you and I believe God is going to move through this concept of providing training for churches in amazing ways.
#3 – Feel free to use the things I have said to share as you promote future events like this. If you need something written let me know and Ill do my best to get it to you. Also – feel free to invite our worship people to any event you are doing! I know they would be honored to be invited and may be able to help you if they are available!
Thank again for a great time Rich; great job!
Barney Wiget
I think this concept is very good and healthy; especially on a small group level. I liked the variety of presenters and topics dealing with practical issues like soundsystems and team practices, your insistence on timeliness for the sessions (even your 5 minute warning signs!), and the interactiveness of the Q & A sessions. I also really like that you're reaching out to the small churches since most of our churches are under 100 and most of which have very few skilled musicians. You yourself are helping many of these churches by going and helping them on Sundays, and I hear you incorporate training them during the week for the teams. That's good stuff man.
Keep me in the loop for future events.
THANKS for inviting Carol and me to participate. It was wonderful to worship and share, and humbling to be with such committed servants. We really appreciated the opportunity to learn from and worship with you!
We look forward to the next time together. Congrats on a successful seminar and may big blessings come your way!

Carol Watts
Jerry and I had such a wonderful time with you and everyone at the worship seminar and celebration! We met such amazing worshippers and feel like we have so many new friends in Northern California. Thank you for including us and giving us the opportunity to be with you! We are so touched by the work your are doing for churches and all of the gifts you are giving away; you have an amazing heart! Let us know if we can join with you again in the future. You blessed us so much!!
