I also suffered from severe involuntary movements that can lead to seizures. The doctors could never tell me what was wrong. Well, my junior year I went to my first college weekend @ Oral Roberts University & one night I was “twitching” pretty bad and a girl that lived down the hall came in & prayed with me. She asked if it would be ok if she prayed with me & it was one of the first times that anyone had ever asked to pray with me about this problem. Since that night, I went 2 years without involuntary movements. Today, they come & go, but aren’t nearly as bad as they used to be. God truly is my healer & I know that He is yours. www.integritymusic.com www.integritymusic.com www.integritymusic.com INTEGRITY Digital Update | 7 INTEGRITY Digital Update | 7 Lincoln Brewster Today Is The Day DELUXE L incoln Brewster began playing music at a young age and attained a level of success The young family flourished in the Bayside community, chech can be heard on “The Power of Your Name,” a heart-felt before he was 22 that many musicians never and he was blessed to be able to fulfill his duties as Worship plea for the Church to help bring healing to a broken world. he wanted more than success in this world.  Lincoln In 2000, he released Live to Worship followed by Amazed in Zschech had recorded her vocals. “She called me from Austra- reach.  But he realized very early in his career that wanted to play his guitar and Arts Pastor while also touring and recording with Integrity. 2002, All to You – Live in 2005 and Let The Praises Ring – The sing songs that would help Best of Lincoln Brewster in 2006. he wanted his music “to radio hit when the song “Everlasting God” from Let the Prais- Born in Fairbanks, Alaska, Lincoln first showed the same time, his song “Love The Lord” climbed to #3, giving bring souls closer to Christ... make a difference.” Then, in early 2007, Lincoln attained his first #1 Christian es Ring hit the top of the chart and stayed there for 4 weeks. At his musical ability at age one and a half, keeping re- him two songs in the top 20 at the same time. during his mother Cheryl’s band practice. ect that has been hailed by critics as his best effort to date. markably good time with a pair of broken drumsticks At the age of 12, he had formed his first band, His latest album, Today is the Day, is a 10-track studio proj- The project offers new songs ranging from meditative worship Lincoln recalls the first time he heard the powerful song after lia and played it for me over the phone, and by the time it was done, I was in tears.” While still serving as the Worship Arts Pastor, the Bayside Church staff support Lincoln as he tours and makes guest ap- pearances at churches, festivals and events around across the country.
