Actually, they are our former churchmates. In fact, all of us are members of the Worship Leading Team in our former church. That's why, through the grace of God and because of the well-founded friendship we have, we were able to carry out the ministry efficiently and effectively. Some of them belong to other churches now. We just asked them to help us out for the praise and worship part of the anniversary. Thank God!! We're now gradually increasing in members for the Worship Leading Team after the anniversary. I will post some of the newly added members of the Worship Leading Team. Thank God for their commitment and dedication to serve God and give Him all the glory. Thanks guys!! God bless. Until the next jamming for Jesus!
