I attempted to teach them a simple praise song in both Spanish and English. The problem came when I had the bright idea to have them sing both together at the same time. It was a humorous train wreck and a lesson in disunity. My embarrassing worship experience was in Venezuela with an English-speaking team in a Spanish-speaking church.

He was getting ready to lead the old hymn "Bring Ye All Your Tithes Into The Storehouse" and he announced it "Turn in your hymnals to Page (whatever) and let's all sing Bring Ye All Your Tithes Into The Whorehouse". Forgive the offensive word but you can imagine the embarrassment! This one was told to me by a very good MM friend of mine.

The only type of projection they had was an old overhead projector. My friend, wanting to be able to lead more than hymns, stayed up late into the night typing out lyrics onto clear sheets for the overhead projector. While leading the songs, he thought everything was going great as they transitioned from a hymn into the chorus "We Are Hungry". Suddenly he noticed a good bit of laughter from the younger worshippers. Apparently spell check does not work if you type a sentence this way.. "Lord I want more of You Living water rain down on me Lord I need more of You Living breath of life come and FEEL me up." When he told me about it at lunch that day, I laughed til I cried.
