About This Partner

Mission

Erik Dewar provides gathered singing at retreats and workshops for the refreshment of church leaders around the world.

Strategy

Erik collaborates with partner organizations to create and lead congregational music and scriptural liturgies tailored to their event.

Reasoning

Since ministry finds its source and ultimate goal in the worship of God, Erik’s aim is to offer an environment where leaders can refocus, recharge and launch back into their context with the joy of the Lord as their strength. Theme Verse: But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever sing for joy. (Psalm 5:11a) Support: Please support Erik Dewar to make this strategic ministry available to those who need it most. Some of these retreat events may have a small budget for music, however most do not, and no missions or church group should forgo this partnership simply due to lack of funds. Your gift will offset the cost of travel, time, equipment costs and other such expenses for Erik. Not only this, your support will enable Erik to devote focused time curating and creating material for these events. Erik's prayer is that the attendees will be encouraged and strengthened through these focused times of worship leading to continued fruitful service in the Lord. God must work in us so that He can work through us!
