I stepped into my journey with Proskuneo Ministries in 2008. It started when one of the team asked me to share my story. As I began to open the pages of my "book" I was opening my heart to being loved. And when know we are loved, we are free to find purpose. For the past six years God has been drawing me closer to Himself. I see who He created me to be. And I am choosing to join Him on this amazing adventure.
I grew up in a home with a Baptist preacher for a daddy. I knew that God sent His son to save the world before I could speak and I asked Jesus into my heart when I was around ten years old. I lived a lot of life from the time I walked that aisle until I found out who God REALLY was when I was in college. It was then that God became Lord of my life and the old Becky was put away so that Christ could shine through the redeemed Becky. God has taken me to a lot of amazing places on my walk with Him. Sometimes I have gone willingly. Sometimes I have gone kicking and beating at the air. But somehow I have stayed by His side. These past few years have stretched me farther than I knew I could go.
Along the road I found out that I have a passion for training young people to live fully sold out for the kingdom of Christ. There are some amazing, gifted artists who want to be using their talents for God. I like to think that we provide a little of the wind beneath their wings. We see the need for encouragement and spiritual mentorship as they make their way in this world.
God has also birthed in me a heart for the country of Burma (Myanmar) in Southeast Asia. He has opened doors for me to build relationships with people here in Clarkston, in Thailand and in Burma. He is laying the foundation for another part of the journey down the path so I am taking one step at a time.
One of the places where all of my roads converge is at Proskuneo Ministries. Proskuneo Ministries exists to glorify God and promote unity in the body of Christ through multilingual multicultural worship gatherings, worship resources, and training of believers.
I have been asked to take a full-time position with Proskuneo Ministries here in Clarkston, Georgia. For the past three years I have directed the month-long summer worship intensive called Proskuneo Worship Institute (PWI). It is our goal to expand PWI into a year-round program. The summer intensive would continue, but we would begin to provide six month training programs for worship artists who want to intern with us here among the nations.

What would I be doing for Proskuneo Ministries? A few of the roles…
o Direct Proskuneo Worship Institute
o Expand Proskuneo Worship Institute (i.e. annual retreats, touring, recording, year-round programs, multiple sites)
o As a representative of Proskuneo School of the Arts, work with others in the Clarkston community to reach at-risk teens from all of the nations represented here
o Proskuneo blog – writing and managing other writers
o Songwriting/Publishing
I am passionate about what I am doing. For the past several years I have been volunteering most of my spare time to several of these roles already. I want to take the next step. I went to invest my life doing what God has called me to do. I don’t want to waste another minute. I am ready. All I need is you.
What can you do?
o Pray. Pray that God will provide so that I can put my whole self into the task before me. There is a list of prayer requests on the blog page. (Click the Blog tab at the top of the page.)
o Ask. Ask God if He would have you to partner with me financially. If you can provide – I can go.
