The use of flags and streamers can be quite an entertaining sight to see, but in the hands of a worshipper, flag waving can be more than just enter-

taining. "The basic technique of flag waving, whether it is rhythmic or color guard or personal movements, is not really a new art form," says Joe, "but waving those same flags in ministering to the Lord under the anointing brings forth God's glory and leads us into the overwhelming presence of the Lord." God also has a message for us and through flag worship is one way He can deliver it.

For the past 15 years Joe has ministered to the Lord with flags before people of all

ages and seeing them enter into the pre-

sence of the Lord. Joe and his wife Mary are founders of Worship Him Ministries, a ministry of the worship arts and evang-

elism. From this unique and powerful

worship art, he has developed the mini-

stry of Flag Worship. It is the union of

flags, song and the Word to lead us into

the presence of the Lord. He is also the author of the book called "Bringing Back

The Glory", practical teachings on how to minister to the Lord with flags. Along with Mary, the Lord has given endless opport-

unities to present the gospel of Jesus

Christ and evangelize many areas using the worship arts.

Worship Him Ministries operates as a non-profit (301) ministry that has a mission, purpose and goal in mind to bring glory to God and to see His Glory on the earth.

Flag Worship many times fea-

tures Joe's entire family. Not only do they minister to the Lord in flags together, but sharing the gospel through

their giftings to others at outreaches and personally is always a goal for this family.

The worship arts allows them to minister powerfully and prophetically and at the same time experiencing the awe-

some presence of the Lord in the place.

Joe travels extensively teaching the visual power of the Word using flags and streamers. His workshops have been known to be some of the most exhilarating teachings on worshipping the Lord through the worship arts where you learn more than just flags. Not only are his workshops at conferences and churches notable, but there is a special move of God during his "Concerts of Worship", a collection of flag worship pieces that brings glory to the Lord and God's glory into the place. Many have been delivered, healed, set free and encouraged in the Lord's presence at these flag worship services. "God desires for us to be in His presence as much as we can. He calls us and He draws us. People need to experience the awesome presence of the Lord", says Joe. "Flag worship is a visual ministry that we today are drawn to because of our visual nature and our need to be where God is and that's in His presence." His leadership inspires children, teens and adults to worship the Lord.

Joe also has a special anointing to ignite men into worship. He encourages and challenges men to worship God with all that is already in them. Joe has a desire to form an all men worship art group called "Men in Worship" one day. Joe continues to minister in flags and as a conference speaker across the country.
