How do music and missions intersect? Find out in this episode of the Organic Outreach® Podcast. In this episode, Adam interviews. Dr. Katherine Morehouse. Katherine and I had a chance to connect at the Amplify 2019 conference in Wheaton, IL. I learned some fascinating things about her and her work:

She is an ethnomusicologist specializing in ethnodoxology and global engagement. She has researched African drumming and church music in Guinea, West Africa and has studied Hindu, Muslim, and Christian festival music in Kerala, India. She serves on the worship team at Blue Ridge Community Church. She has won several teaching awards, travel grants, as well as the Liberty University Illuminate grant, which helped provide instruments for Liberty's African Music Ensemble, which she directs. What I found most fascinating was her work with up and coming missionaries, helping train them to raise up new songwriters and worship leaders among indigenous peoples around the world. You're going to love this episode!
