Our Missionary Training programs are for those who have decided to serve the Lord ALWAYS. We’ve made ourselves available and we’re learning to RUN our races together, to the glory of God.

Late in 2016, Darrin & Jennie Riddle relocated their family and community to the beautiful La Porte, Indiana to establish a long-awaited dream-come-true ministry headquarters for People & Songs and The Emerging Sound. God gave Darrin and Jennie Lee a dream for a residential ministry hub back in 1988; A place where Kingdom workers could find training, rest, and connection with other creative, like-minded servants. The miraculous stewardship of the iconic and historic Ruth C. Sabin Home is the culmination of almost 3 decades of waiting, praying, working, trusting and growing in the Lord.

We won’t teach you how to become a rock star. We don’t know how to do that.

Instead, you will become a more mature, cross-trained and well-rounded human, rich in practical, portable missional skills and with the awareness to adapt to present circumstances and quickly rise to serve Christ and His Church. It will be hard. Your comfort zone will be disrupted. But you’ll be amazed at all the ways Jesus shapes, molds and changes you, because that’s the nature of what love does. You’ll learn the art of truly loving others. That’s the transformation.

Together we serve local churches and the community-at-large through nights of worship, retreats, concerts and conferences. Yes, you’ll gain experience in songwriting, publishing, worship leading, photo/video production, social networking/media, marketing and commerce—but much more importantly in prayer, hospitality, evangelism and outreach. That’s the heart of it.

If you’re ready, come and experience firsthand the transformational power of the Gospel of Jesus, lived out in community. You’ll experience it all as an Emerging Sound Missionary with People & Songs and founder, Jennie Lee Riddle.
