Joel Houston, Nathan Finochio and co. robbed at gunpoint

I know this is not a typical post for worshipdrummer.ca but I am appealing to all Christians everywhere: Please read the following:

I’ve pieced together some tweets from @joelhouston and @nathanfinochio and @MattyCrocker from the early morning of June 27 (you can read them below).

Joel Houston, worship leader with Hillsong United, along with some of his buddies were robbed at gunpoint in Brooklyn, NY. Joel tweets that he had some 200 song ideas on his phone, which was taken from him when they were robbed.

I am asking that we (Christians) do two things:

1. Pray for the 2 guys who robbed our friends. They hold in their possession future songs that the church will sing. They essentially have anointed creativity in their possession. I say we pray for their salvation. I believe God takes the worst and turns it for good. Will you join me and pray for them?
2. Pray that God would continue to bless Joel, Nathan and the guys with new songs. They are forerunners in music and worship and need God’s anointing as they pour out their hearts into this stuff. Pray that God would give them fresh stuff…. 400 song ideas, instead of the former 200. Will you join with me and pray for them?
