5/27/10 - My guitar tracking is finished.
Today Richy and I finished tracking most of my guitar parts and began tracking the first of his parts. The tones we are getting are awesome and we're really excited about where the recording is going.
5/21/10 - Guitars for "King of Saints" Done.
Well after an extra week or so of cleaning up drums and preparing to track electric guitars, Richy Clark and I finally began the tracking process. Today we tackled the most difficult and undeveloped of the tracks on the cd, "King of Saints." It took us most of the day to write and put the song together, but I'm happy to say that the tracking for this song is finished. And it sounds great! Next week we begin tackling the rest of the songs. Stay tuned for more updates.
5/12/10 - Back in the studio this week to finish Radiant's "King of Saints" EP
Headed back into the studio this week to start tracking the electric guitars for Radiant's first studio recording. I'm am very excited to start these recording sessions.
4/12/10 - Radiant Worship Spring Ministry Tour
Leaving with the team on Thursday for our NE spring ministry tour. We'll be gone 2 weeks ministering almost every night. We're really excited about what the Lord has in store each night. This tour has a little bit of an interesting dynamic in that we have a temporary bass player [our permanant one is still finishing his junior year of highschool]. We also have 2 other people on this tour who have never been on a Radiant tour before. That said, however, each and every new member is an awesome lover of God and, we have confidence that God has assembled this team for such a time as this. We know that the Holy Spirit will move through each and every one of us powerfully. Pray for us as we go forward to minister on this North East ministry tour.
4/7/10 - New Radiant Van!
For the last several years, Radiant has been renting vans for each tour. This has added around $2000.00 to the over head cost of each tour. While, we don't have to worry about vehicle maitinence, by renting, we, without a doubt, consistently get the short end of the economic stick. As we prepared for this tour, we coudn't even find a rental company that would allow us to tow a trailer. As you can imagine, this makes for a rather difficult task of renting a vehicle. Well after praying as a team daily for a vehicle, we were given the opportunity to purchase a 15 passenger van in excellent shape for only $900.00! That is nothing short of an extremely timely divine miracle. The new van, affectionately named "Hephziba", will get us through several tours before helping us buy a brand new 15 passenger van. Praise the Lord for His provision!
3/2/10 - Last Minute Scramble
Preparing to write and record Radiant's new worship EP this weekend. However, my gear is still in the process of being replaced. It's making for a rather hurried scramble to get everything together in time for the recording.
1/21/10 - Stolen Gear
Well, I am sad to report a most unfortunate turn of events for Radiant Worship. On Monday, Jan. 18, our team had finished eating breakfast and came out to our vehicle to march and pray for the unborn, only to realize that the majority of our music gear had been stolen out of our vehicle. We lost keyboards, guitars, bass guitars, pedal boards, bass amplifier, and a few other things. Radiant needs these things in order to minister in music. We still have our voices but feel a definite calling from God to use music for worship, intercession, and breakthrough in the nations of the earth. We lost things that make it almost impossible to minister. Most of it was not covered by our personal insurance companies and we are currently financially unable to afford replacing the $14,000+ of gear that was stolen. Thus we are in need of much financial help to get up and running again. If you would like to help us, please contact me via the contact portion of this page for more info on how to make your donation. Thanks so much.
1/20/10 - January Radiant Tour/Bound4Life March/Call Crisis Houston success!
The last 3 weeks have been extremely busy for us. We left the morning of Jan 1 to begin 3 weeks of ministry and mobilization in the Houston area. Despite massive amounts of responsibilities, 2 new ministry team members, illness (2 of us got strep throat and the other two singers/preachers lost their voices) we ministered at many churches calling them to be a voice for the unborn in Houston and resist, in prayer, the abortion supercenter being built south Houston.
On the day of The Call event about 8,000 people gathered in a large church for 5 hours of fasting and prayer for the ending of abortion. It was a powerful time of prayer and worship as white, asian, black, and hispanic believers from all different denominational backgrounds gathered in one unified chorus of prayer for the ending of abortion.
The next day roughly 10,000 gathered for a prayer march to the clinic. There were an estimated 4,200 people, most of which were twenty-something year-olds, praying with LIFE tape over their mouths, peacefully crying out to God for justice for the unborn. There really was a supernatural grace given us by the Holy Spirit. We did not have a single negative instance with anyone who came to pray or with the police. That over 4,000 people could come together, engage in prayer for 5 hours, and not have a single incident is truly a work of the Holy Spirit. Not to mention a prophetic witness of Jesus before the eyes of the world.
So where do we go from here? After The Call event, 500 people signed up to be a part of local Bound4Life chapters in Houston. The plan is to lay siege in prayer at this abortion supercenter every day, with 12 local chapters sharing the burden of travel and prayer. Truly Jesus, when He comes to bring justice for the unborn, will find faith in Houston as His elect cry out to him day and night for justice. (Lk. 18) Thank you God for raising up a voice and blowing a trumpet to gather your people in Houston. We bless You! Have your way on the planet.
1/4/10 - Joel 2: Massive Gathering of United Fasting & Prayer for the Restraint of Darkness and Revival in America - Jan 17th & 18th 2010: The Call Houston
1/4/10 - Radiant Worship Call Crisis Tour
Today begins the Radiant Worship Call Crisis Tour. For the next 3 weeks, we will be traveling the greater Houston area, mobilizing for The Call event in Houston. Much practice and many events over the next few weeks. Pray for us that a clarion call would go out and a Joel 2 gathering anointing would be on us as we mobilize for the event. On Jan 17th & 18th thousands will unite in prayer to resist the spirit of death's influence as it tries to establish a stronghold in Houston in the form of a 7 story abortion clinic. Please pray for protection, wisdom, unction, and a gathering anointing as we minister these next weeks. And join us in prayer on the night of Jan 17th for a solemn assembly of prayer, and the morning of Jan 18th for a silent siege as thousands will gather with life tape to cry out for God to restrain darkness and halt the construction of this temple of human sacrifice.

11/21/09 - Renewal and Outpouring Holy Spirit at IHOP-Kansas City
Last week, at an International House of Prayer University [The bible, music, and media school run by the International House of Prayer in Kansas City] student chapel, a young female student in her early 20's began to share her testimony about how the Lord had set her free from self hatred and healed her body from the effects of an eating disorder she had struggled with while in her mid teens. As she shared this the Holy Spirit began to release an outpouring of the love of God, setting people free from shame and self hatred, while at the same time releasing healing of physical bodies.
This outpouring continued for several days. It did not decrease in intensity, but began to take place all throughout the IHOP community. We began to have extended meetings in the evening where the Holy Spirit has continued to increase this localized oupouring. During the last 7 days of meetings, there have been hundreds of people set free from shame and self hatred in the IHOP community alone. Through the IHOP webstream hundreds more in nearly 200 nations have been healed emotionally and physically. Several testimonies of salvations have also be sent to us. We don't want to call it more or less than what it is, but the Holy Spirit is definitely moving in our midst.
These meetings are set to continue for the next 6 weeks to give room for everything the Holy Spirit will release in this season of outpouring. I have personally been touched by the Lord, along with many others, and would love for you to receive anything He would have for you as well.
Starting Sunday 11/22 we will be holding meetings Wed.-Sat night from 6PM-Midnight. We will be broadcasting these meetings for free via the IHOP webcast. Please join us and partake of what the Lord is so generously and graciously releasing in our midst by watching HERE. He is a gracious God and wants to release it other places as well. As the Lord touches you, please let us know how by emailing testimonies@ihop.org or email me through the contact section of this website. We would love to know how the Lord is moving in your life.
11/7/09 - Radiant Fall Ministry Tour Complete.
After 3 weeks of intense ministry, we're on our way back to Kansas City. Each night of the 3 weeks has been incredible. In both Fort Worth and San Antonio, Texas the Lord broke out with supernatural healing. In Fort Worth, about 25 teenagers came forward the recieve prayer for healing. Some came with migranes, others with old injuries living in constant pain, one with a broken femur. All of them were healed. In San Antonio, men and women were healed of carpal tunnel syndrome, broken ankles, and 3 deaf ears can now hear. Praise the Lord for His mercy endures forever!
11/3/09 - Second leg of tour finished.
We're 2 weeks in and it's been an amazing second week of ministry. We worked our way down from Madera, Ca to Salt Lake City, Utah and ended with 2 days in Park City, Utah. We met some amazing people this last week and got to partner with the Holy Spirit to encourage, bring strength to these local bodies of believers. We even saw one kid get saved! Pray for us today as we drive tonight to Tucumcari, NM and begin 4 straight nights of ministry on the third leg of tour.
10/27/09 - Mucho fun on our day off.
Before beginning the second leg of the fall tour, Radiant took today off. We got to spend a day of fun and fellowship at Santa Monica Beach just outside Los Angeles California. Great day of refreshing, fellowship, beautiful ocean, and a much needed suntan. Please pray for us as we begin our second leg of tour tomorrow with a trip up to Fresno, CA.
10/26/09 - First leg of tour finished.
The first leg of the Radiant Ministry tour is finished. Starting in Magnolia, Tx, working our way through the mountains of Arizona, and beginning our trek up the coast of California, we ministered at different churches 5 of the last 7 nights. Each night the Holy Spirit has been faithful to move powerfully, bringing forth a fresh word to each church that strengthens, edifies, and helps bring breakthrough for the church in that region of the nation. It has been incredible to spend time partnering with the Holy Spirit to edify people who have such a passion for Jesus, His word, and for the gospel to go forth in their region of the nation.
10/20/09 - Today...we ride
Tuesday....the plan is to pickup the van, load up, and roll out. On our way to El Paso, TX for another night of ministry. Please pray for us as we travel and as we prepare to minister on Wednesday night. Also keep an eye on the media section of this site for video updates from the tour.
10/19/09 - Radiant Fall Tour Has Commenced!
Tonight was our first night of ministry for the fall ministry tour. Radiant led a time of powerful time of worship followed by a short exhortation from Radiant founder Richy Clark. At the end of the service many came forward to recieve prayer and the Holy Spirit was faithful to move in power, encouraging and strengthing the saints in Magnolia, TX. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!
