A little over two decades ago, I went on a journey to pursue a vision as I felt the Lord was directing. At a camp meeting in Minneapolis, MN. Dr. Myles Munroe was speaking and gave an invitation to attend a praise and worship conference in the Bahamas. He mentioned that Dr. Ron Kenoly would be teaching songwriting. I had never heard of Ron Kenoly but I knew there was much I could learn at a small church in Minneapolis. I had big dreams but never felt I would step out in faith to do this on my own. My songs just sat on the shelf. I knew in my heart I had to go to this conference! I tried to get someone to go with me but no one would. One day I saw Dr.Ron singing on the 700 Club. I knew I wanted to give him my songs. The first night of the conference Dr. Myles Munroe escorted me into the room where Dr. Kenoly and all of the guests were having dinner. Can you imagine, they invited me to eat at their table? Oh, this nobody became somebody. I was truly honored. Sister Bethel (wife of Minister Mark) told me to get up and go talk to Dr. Ron. I was very reluctant. She said "It’s ok. This is what we do." My walk to go talk to Mr. Kenoly was the longest walk I ever took. Everything became slow motion. He welcomed me with open arms. Praise God! God will make a way!

 

Dr. Ron has been a mentor to me and I have always enjoyed his ministry.

 

God Bless you Dr. Ron!
