Dear Friends

It is with some sadness that the beginning of the Mid Week Worship Academy is to be delayed to November. There are a few contributory factors. The delegate take up at present is insufficient to provide a course that has the dynamics that we are looking for. Many have shown an interest but have been unable to commit for June '08. We would be encouraged if you were able to stay with us for the November launch. If you have sent a deposit and require a refund please let us know.

We are still very committed to the vision of this training for Church Leadership. Please help us in raising its awareness amongst leadership teams that you know.

The wider picture of Worship Academy International is thrilling, with UK Academies, and those in Ireland, Romania, USA doing so well. Portugal, Singapore and Poland are the new nations on our horizon as we work to seeing them formed and established.

This comes with blessings Worship Academy team.
