You
may have read about new young Danish worship leaders, and how Christians across
the country are beginning to create genuinely Danish church music -- worship
music that reaches Danish hearts. That’s a wonderfully healthy sign that God is
stirring hearts.
To
be sure, there’s also a good deal of international influence in Danish church
growth and worship, places where songs from the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. are
sung in English. The growing Hillsong fellowship in København is a prime
example. And God is doing great things there.
But
how about that Danish music? Here’s a wonderful project that’s collecting some
of the best examples of today’s Danish worship music: Stille Stunder (“Quiet
Moments”). They’re hoping to build up the Danish church across denominational
lines:
1.
Through
their YouTube channel, featuring music videos of leading Danish worship
musicians. Latest add is a wonderful tune from Arvid Asmussen of Aarhus
Valgmenighed.
2.
Through
their Facebook page, which features behind-the-scenes looks at featured artists and videos. It’s in
Danish, but you can get the idea.
3.
Through a
working partnership with Brighter, a yearly renewal and discipleship conference
for young people organized by the Skywalk Church in Randers. The conference is coming up
October 15-18.
The
most encouraging part about Stille Stunder is their Christ-centered, big
picture view. They want to build up not only their own young church in Randers,
but churches all over the country, in the name of Jesus. Please pray for them.
PRAY for this new generation of Danish musicians
and worship leaders, that they will use their music to spotlight Jesus, and not
themselves.
PRAY for the people behind Stille Stunder, that
God would prosper this exciting new ministry and use it to bring many to
Christ.
PRAY for Brighter, that young lives will be
changed this year and that the Danish church will be strengthened as a result.
PRAY that God would use this music to revive his
church in Denmark.
