Worship Leaders: Frankie and Jess Russo
"CWOW's worship leaders, Frankie and Jess Russo, have lead worship in many countries around the world since 1995. After joining CWOW in 2009, the Russo's decided to continue serving the church body through leading worship at CWOW.
"We believe worship is at the heart of mankind’s relationship with God," says Frankie. "Praise and thanksgiving flow out of our awareness of God at work in us and around us.
WE PRAISE GOD FOR WHAT HE DOES, this leads us into WORSHIPPING HIM FOR WHO HE IS.
When the Holy Spirit is released in our lives, a new depth and height of praise is released and a new and more vibrant worship of God follows."
'The hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
- John 4:23-24'"
