I was invited by a friend from my small group and a pastor at my church to accompany him to a different church in Santa Barbara CA. He was asked to guest speak and give the message.
Earlier that week I has been thinking of a high school friend cause my wife and I just bought our son his first drum set and was thinking how cool it would be for my friend (Ronnie Manaog) to teach my son.
On the way to Santa Barbara my friend asked me out of the blue if I have ever seen or heard of Saddleback church. I told him I have heard of it but never seen it. We decided to take a detour and check the campus out. Earlier that month I just got back from MinistryTECH 2008 in Oklahoma, so I saw this as another opportunity to see what this church does from a techs perspective.
We decided to sit in the main sanctuary and listen to worship. At the end of the set I noticed a person on the big screen and asked my friend of the person playing drums was Filipino. I told him I think that is my friend from High School. He responded with, "No Way, whats his name?" I told him Ronnie Manaog. We happened to be in the green room and I decided to ask what was the name of the drummer. The WL told me Ronnie, umm, and I said Manoag? He said yes thats him.
Ronnie is not a regular drummer at Saddleback he is a professional drummer on call. He was not suppose to be there, but was called last minute to play. I was not suppose to be there, I was suppose to be there, I was suppose to be on the road to Santa Barbara. This is definitely GOD's work. I wonder why He led me to Ronnie? I will keep you posted.
