ELEVATE was a product of our prayer.
As a Christian who's been in the Worship Ministry for almost 20 years, the experience of being a part of the Elevate Seminar-Workshop was one of the highlights!
I met Sir Warren in the net through his blog. He is conducting Seminar Workshops for Musicians! Perfect for our team! I opened up regarding the need of our Worship Team for a seminar workshop that will enhance and utilize the skills and talents for a higher calling, and he offered the Elevate Music and Worship Leading Workshop!
This is actually my prayer for our team. Skills improvement and spiritual growth. They already have the abilities, they have the talents, pero we need yung mas level up na, yung mag ELEVATE! And praise God for the Elevate Music and Worship Leading Workshop.
Elevate Music and Worship Leading Workshop was a great experience! they have shared and discussed the importance of being a Worship Leader, Back up Singers, Guitarist, Keyboardist, Drummer, Bassist and the rest of the team. At the end of every lecture, we have the actual or application, and it was a "WOW" experience, we were able to experience the utmost presence of God through worship. The flow of the worship, we felt the power of God overflowing, we received His blessings, we entered into the gates of heaven, and we all stayed in the presence of God.
Words are not enough to share what we have experienced through Elevate Music and Worship Leading Workshop, but all I can say, is that I highly recommend Worship Team's to experience what God has planted us through this workshop. We received blessings, and we want other teams to receive the same blessings we received. We received God's anointing, and we want others to experience the anointing of God through Elevate Team!
God bless and hope you'll be blessed by Elevate Music and Worship Leading Workshop as well!

Bilang isang Worship Leader, malaki po ang nagawa sa akin ng Elevate Music and Worship Leading Workshop. Nalaman ko po na ang binigay po sa amin ng Panginoon na tungkulin ay di basta-basta. Sabi nga po maraming tinawag ngunit ilan lang ang pinili. Nalaman ko po kung ano ang purpose ko sa Worship Team. Masarap umawit sa Panginoon, mas lalong sumarap pagkatapos ng Elevate Music and Worship Leading Workshop. Mas lalo ako na e-excite every practice lalo na pag turn ko na mag lead. Ibang klase po talaga ang nagawa ng workshop. Ngayon isa po akong worshiper na ibinibigay ang buong puso para sa iisang Diyos na tangi kong pinag-aalayan ng buhay. Salamat po sa bumubuo ng Elevate Music and Worship Leading Workshop! Stay blessed po at nawa'y marami pa po kayong ma blessed na Worship Leaders!
Marie Antonette Rafael, Worship Leader, Lord Jesus Fellowship, Pilar, Bataan
My experience with the whole Elevate Team was extraordinary! Dito, di lang ako basta natuto with the technicalities sa pag-lead ng isang Worship Band but in general, natutunan ko talagang I-worship ang ating Panginoon to the most proper and best ways. Sabi nga po, dapat ibigay natin ang best natin sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon. Di pwede ang "pwede na" kasi yung pinaglilingkuran nating Diyos ay hindi basta-basta. Ang daming nai-share sa'min ang buong team kaya naman our hearts area grateful and honored to have them facilitate our workshop. Sumisigaw na nga kami ng Elevate 2 o Elevate Workshop Series in Bataan! Nakaka-enjoy pa kasama ang facilitators namin, ibang klaseng experience talaga! All glory to God!

I thank God for the Workshop that was facilitated by Bro. Warren Ocampo in our local church. It's a great privilege to be mentored by a God called levite who is willing to share his knowledge about praise and worship to my fellow music team members. There's a lot of techniques, skills and talents that has been cultivated in order to bring the best praise to God. God bless!

I am so blessed kasi nag manifest sa kabataan yung mga natutunan nila sa Music and Worship Workshop at nai-apply nila sa praise and worship and even sa attitude as music minister. May pagbabago sa bawat pagtayo nila, at naging aware na sila sa dapat na attitude.
Roberto Prado, Guitarist, JIL Church Area C, Dasmariñas, Cavite
Itong praise and worship seminar ang hindi ko malilimutan. Napakasaya ng seminar na ito at higit sa lahat damang-dama ko ang presensya ng Diyos. Marami akong natutunan about sa tunay na pagsamba at natutunan ko rin ang malalim na pagsamba.
Regine Charm Mendoza, Keyboardist, Wells of Salvation Church, Lian, Batangas
Glory to God! Syempre unang-una it's God's grace na nabigyan kami ng opportunity na magkaroon ng Music Training and Mentoring.
These past months/years I guess we've been struggling kung paano ba namin mai-improve ang music ministry. Nandiyan yung mga talents na hindi weekly na nagagamit lalo na pag luma ang songs na naka-line up. Sometimes naman hindi consistent. How? Yes the presence of God is there but hindi siya na-cacater ng maayos.
Hanggang sa one day nabalitaan na lang ng music ministry sa elders ng church na magkakaroon daw kami ng Music Training and Mentoring, and the mentor will be Kuya Warren. Sobrang nagagalak talaga kami, kasi this time yung binigay ni Lord na talents and knowledge sa amin sa pagtugtog ay alam naming hindi na siya stagnant kundi magiging broad na.
Sobrang dami naming natutunan with the help of the Lord, nandiyan yung how will you bring the congregation sa presence ng ating Diyos, how will you make a praise and worship effective at sa aming musicians sobrang nahihirapan kami sa old songs pero ngayon, glory to God! nung matutunan namin ang mga bagay na dapat naming matutunan at least now with unity natutugtog na namin ang ilang old songs ng church.
Sa buong 4 sessions with Kuya Warren and Ate Ana, it was 4 Saturdays filled with fun! Na-realized ng bawat isa na hindi lang tumatayo ang Worship Ministry to perform but to minister. We did also realized na hindi lang pala talaga hanggang dito ang kakayahan/kaalaman namin dahil pwede pa kaming mag improve as a team all for God's glory!
Lastly, nagpapasalamat kami kay Lord sa buhay ng dalawang taong ginamit niya na naging instrumento para magkaroon ng improvement ang Music Ministry ng Wells of Salvation. They're not just going to teach us lessons, instead, nag-exert talaga sila ng too much effort kahit masama ang panahon na maintindiahn namin kung ano ba ang ginagawa namin sa ministry and why and whom we are doing this.
Psalm 146:1 - "Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live."
Kaya ibinabalik namin sa Diyos ang pinakamataas na papuri at pasasalamat sa matamis na pangalan ni Hesus! God bless us more!
Danica Bastona, Worship Leader, Wells of Salvation Church, Lian, Batangas
Hello po! Unang una nagpapasalamat ako kay Lord kasi pinadala niya po kayo sa amin upang magturo about Music and Worship. Nagpapasalamat din po ako sa buhay niyong mag-asawa (Kuya Warren & Ate Ana). Napakadami po naming natutunan sa inyo. Natutunan po namin ang mga bagay na hindi pa namin alam sa pagiging part ng Music Ministry. Natuto po kami ng mga bagong kaalaman sa pagiging isang worship team. Natutunan din namin ang tamang pag-execute ng papuri at pasasalamat sa Panginoon at pagiging isang true worshiper na kahit anong hirap ng sitwasyon, mag-worship pa din kay God. Marami po talaga kaming natutunan sa pag-awit at sa pag-tugtog para kay God. Maraming maraming salamat po sa inyo. God bless po!
Joshua David Gatdula, Guitarist, Wells of Salvation Church, Lian, Batangas
After 4 Saturdays na pagtuturo ni Kuya Warren sa amin ng music and worship sa youth ng Wells of Salvation, maraming bagay ang natutunan namin. Saglit lang, pero madaming improvements ang nangyari sa amin. Ang masasabi ko lang ay napakahusay ng talento niya na ibinigay ng Diyos at sana madami pa siyang maturuan na kagaya naming kabataan.
