He has helped many spiritual daughters find their true identity and launch into the destiny God has for their lives.

Montana Will Worship

The band from Montana Will Worship has been leading powerful worship events all across the state of Montana. Led by recording artist John Gabriel Arends, this team has a passion to bring people into life-changing encounters with the presence of God. They’ve seen powerful miracles take place, people giving their lives to Jesus and getting baptized, and Christians from diverse denominations unified. John and the team played with Sean Feucht for the “Let Us Worship” events in Montana. We are grateful to have them leading worship for this event, and we know that you will be powerfully impacted by their music and ministry. You can get a little taste of their worship in this music video they filmed here in Montana:
