Training With Allison Durham Speer

Wow! What a week we had last week training with Allison Durham Speer at the Elijah School of Performance! I think this was the kick in the seat of the pants we needed to propel us into ministry as a trio. Allison, Mike Allen- along with a panel of industry pro’s- have confirmed what I’ve known in my heart for a long time. God’s plan has been a family music ministry, it’s just taken a little time to prepare. Allison had many encouraging things to say, but perhaps what I’m clinging to is this: “You have every element to do this full-time- don’t look back!” We are in the process of implementing what we’ve learned and are stepping out in faith. I can’t say how proud I was of my husband and my baby girl! Eric and Ally just “let-go”, had fun and performed like pros- loving every minute of it. We are excited about moving to the next level!!

We are also very grateful for the time and efforts made by the entire staff. We felt loved, encouraged and challenged to become great at communicating the gospel in song. It was truly a blessing, because I attended two years ago and already felt to be a part of the “Elijah Family.” It is such a blessing for the Elijah Staff to embrace my family as well as me. The Elijah Staff welcomed my husband and daughter with open arms and I am overwhelmed at the love and support shown to us all. Thank you, Elijah School of Performance and to every single person that played a part in it’s existence and execution- we are CHANGED!
