Building Excellent and Effective Music Teams – Part 3

By Tommy Tush. The Choice of a Music Team Director is a life changing one. When it comes to building an excellent and effective team, the head point decision is one you can't toil with. I've seen many assemblies assign MDs based on how long the person has stayed within the system or how much the fellow gives and other emotional conditions. They forgo the real criteria to consider.

Pentecostals, one time, classified white garment assemblies on a Blacklist being called many negative names and haunted down by the Levitical Raymond Reddingtons. Today we see a number of worship leaders in Pentecostal circles practicing the tongues and chants from the CCC and C&S and slapping it on worship songs. Suddenly Dembe and Reddington are both MIA.
