For over 25 years LaMar Boschman has been helping people connect with the
presence of God in spiritual worship. He is a pioneer of the worship we
experience today. As the author of numerous books and videos, his preaching and
worship leading impacts churches and individuals around the world.
LaMar is the Academic Dean of the International Worship Institute held each year

Parsley, and many others.
"LaMar Boschman's leadership in worship is a continuing gift of the grace of God to the Church today. His timeless promptings to our pursuit of God's praise and glory is worthy of our attention and sensitive response." - Jack Hayford
I HIGHLY recommend the book
"Rebirth Of Music" from his website!
U
Brookfield Assembly Of
God - Looking for a Church Home? Come visit
us at Brookfield Assembly Of God. Everyone is welcome to this warm, friendly,
family atmosphere to enjoy the presence of God. Our Pastor knows how to open the
door for The Holy Spirit and leave it open!
U Frontline Youth - Young people - Need to connect? This is the one of the most happening youth ministries around! Frontline is a group of young people, very much like you, who realize the need for something greater in their lives. We aren't a support group--we have tons of fun and do crazy things together. We also recognize our futures are a very fragile thing, and we must do everything we can to help each other. People at Frontline range from grades 7-12. You will meet others of similar interests. We strongly encourage you to be who you are. You don't have to dress a certain way, act a certain way or think a certain way. Diversity is our greatest strength.
This group also happens to be very active
in the arts, all fine arts! The Frontline Youth Choir has consistently ranked
very high in national competition: 2002 - 2nd place, 2003 1st place, 2004 -7th
place, and 2005 3rd place in the nation.
U Heritage Christian Schools - Looking for a good Christian School? This is as good as a Christian education gets! A rich tradition of academia excellence. Serving grades pre-school through 12th grade. The lower campus serving grades pre-school through 5th grade is located at South Elm Grove Road & Greenfield Avenue in Elm Grove. The upper campus is 20 blocks east at South 109 Street & Greenfield Avenue in West Allis. A school owned busing system helps bring students in from the north, south, east & west . . . all over southeastern Wisconsin. One of the highlights of the school is Cindy McKelvey, probably the premier school choir director in the nation! My girls began their education there and will complete their high school years there.
U
Living Light School Of Worship - Kenosha,
Wisconsin - At Living Light School of Worship, our goal is for each student to
have a growing revelation of the brilliance and beauty of the Lord. God wants to
show us His glory and majesty in increasing measure, and we want to reflect this
both in our lives and in our music. Our desire is that students will finish the
program with not only increased skill and understanding of music, but more
importantly with a greater hunger and a more passionate desire to know Jesus
Christ, and to make Him known.
U
Greg Wilson
Ministries - Need a drama to help win souls?
My very favorite drama guy bringing praise and
honor to God's glory through excellence in the dramatic arts.
You GOTTA see this guy do "Hats"!
It will have you belly-laughing one minute and crying the next. If you need a
comedy-drama that will help get people saved can play ANYWHERE, this is it!
U
Three Bridges
- Looking for a classic, happening now, southern gospel group? A
totally awesome Southern Gospel group, one of the top in the nation! Eliot,
Mitch & Dave are definitely the "real deal"! I highly recommend you book these
guys.
U
Drummers For
Jesus International
- Drummers For Jesus was formed in Dallas, Texas in 2002. Drummers for Jesus is
a world wide network of drummers and percussionists who use their drumming to
spread the message of Jesus Christ.
RB Percussion Sticks - DRUMMERS! This is without a doubt, the best kept secret in drumming. I GUARANTEE these will improve ANYBODY and EVERYBODY'S playing. Due to science, it can't be any other way! I, personally, am totally addicted to these and wouldn't play a note without 'em!
P.S. I don't get paid for this endorsement.
The Drum Dial -
The best money I ever spent on any purchase in my life! This is THE way to tune
drums. Man, my ears are good, but not THIS good!
The Roc-N-Soc Motion Throne
with Backrest - This is THE most comfortable drum throne in
existence. You can not only "dance" behind your kit, it wears well while you're
sitting back listening to long-winded preachers! I liked it so well, I own 3 of
them!
Pure Sound Snares - Who'd have thought that a new set of wires
underneath your snare that are hi-tech, high-quality could make such a drastic
improvement in your sound? I now use these on all my snares!
"Drumat" Portable Drum Carpet
- If you do need to carry a drum carpet, this is THE one! It folds very
compactly, clips together rolled up, and stores in your hardware case. Best of
all, it never seems to wear out!
U
Phat Foot -
One of our first sponsors to Drummers For Jesus - Wisconsin Chapter. If you
don't want to carry a drum carpet, and you need to keep your bass drum and
hi-hat from walking away fro you, this is the answer! Also works for keyboard
pedals.
Headhunters Drumsticks - One of our first sponsors to Drummers
For Jesus - Wisconsin Chapter. High quality sticks with a unique design!
DC California Drums - One of our first sponsors to Drummers For Jesus - Wisconsin Chapter. The high-end of the custom drums! Super fine worksmanship.
Soultone Cymbals
- One of our first sponsors to Drummers For Jesus - Wisconsin Chapter. High
quality real Turkish cymbals. Very musical.
Serpent Cymbals - One of our first sponsors to Drummers For Jesus - Wisconsin Chapter. One of a kind, unique, special effects cymbal. Nothing else like it!
Bill Sargent - "I Found the very best web host for your website . . . I really did!"
"I personally spent two weeks doing solid research on the internet to find the VERY BEST web hosting resource for my websites. I reviewed ratings, reviews, client commentary and rankings as well as conducting in depth interviewing and questioning of the finalists in my search. I also studied the policies of the companies as well as their technologies, equipment, infrastructure, facilities and staffing. I had very stringent requirements for support, quality, service, uptime, reliability, dependability, value and speed of the site. I finally narrowed it down to two ISPs. After several days of deliberation, I chose WestHost. If you are looking for the very best webhosting possible, I highly recommend you give these guys a try." - Bill Sargent
See why I was impressed! For some of my reasons for choosing WestHost, go to: WESTHOST
* * * * * * *
So . . . who was the other web host (ISP) I found as "the best"?
The other web host I almost went with was Bluehost. It was very, very close as these two clearly rose to the top after two weeks of research. I just felt that WesHost most closely met my personal requirements. If I had not gone with WestHost, I DEFINITELY would have chosen Bluehost.
If for any reason you find that WestHost does not meet your needs, I STRONGLY recommend Bluehost. This was a neck & neck race and I had to deliberate for several days to chose.
