Kyle is eleven, and is a brilliant musician, singer, dancer and actor. He's also a dedicated, deeply-committed Christian. He wants to learn how to lead worship, so I've taken him on as a disciple, so to speak.
I first started working with him this past summer, when SoulFire began working with the youth from FCC to help them develop their own worship band -- because it's the right thing to do for the kids, and because SoulFire is pretty sure God's going to be leading us as a band to many other things. It's certainly what we're open to, if that's what God wants. Anyway, I started working with Kyle, and he excelled rapidly. Much more rapidly, really, than the other youth musicians. I encouraged him to start coming on Tuesday nights to regular worship practice, so he could get a more in-depth taste of what goes on.
He has been working on a playhouse production of Pippi Longstocking, so until now he really wasn't available on Tuesday nights to work with me. But last night he was able to come. I'm just amazed at how perceptive he is, and the questions he asks me. That boy is GOING places. I'm just thrilled that God's letting me be part of the process.
