One of my favorite worship moments ever (seriously) was with worship artist, Vicky Beeching, leading worship as part of the Worship Together tour in Sacramento, CA. It was part of the late night package at the Youth Specialties convention that I was attending with Deanna and our friend Amy. I knew some of Vicky’s singles, but was not all that familiar with her, her music, or her ministry.

So, when I heard about Vicky singing at the prayer breakfast in Sacramento (the same city), my interest was obviously sparked. During our visit there, we actually stayed in the same hotel — we were told — that the “Governator” books during session and we also toured California’s capital building.
