Ken Medema (his own web site)

Ken Medema is a prophet for our time.  We first heard him when visited our little county seat church in 1982.  You can hear and read the prophetic words of his song to us.

We recently got his graciously free song "When I See America".  I don't have the words, but have the mp3 so you can listen and you will find on that page a link to get your own download, as we did.

We recently had a sermon series "Why not now?" on the letters to the 7 churches found in Revelation, plus 1 more done in that same style to our own church.  All of them are available for viewing (you have to register to see the whole service, but the registration is free).  The last sermon ends with Ken's old song.  Here is how that went . . .

Let us add that our little 300+ church now celebrates each Sunday with about 3,000 people!  This year - 2009 - we have about 30 mission adventures, from across town to the far corners of the earth, serving the lost, the marginalized, the poor, those far from God, including the powerful and the mighty:  all of God's creation.

I also recently saw a moment of ministry by Ken on YouTube.  Watch Ken Medema improvise a 5 minute song at National Pastors Convention 2008. He created this song just after watching Shane Claiborne be interviewed about his new book Jesus for President.
