Head Worship Leader: Rachel Caetano
Rachel
is from Bangor, Pennsylvania and studied at Zion Bible College. She
and her husband, Fagner, have caught the vision of Genesis and believe
that there is much to do in New England. Rachel loves to worship and
doesn't turn down an opportunity to, always willing to worship even in
the parking lot for our Prayer Tent or at the park for Music in The
Park. She brings the passion of her one-on-one worship with God into
the worship service setting at RIG. She has a prophetic flare that
comes out in the spontaneous songs she sings and she is passionate about
pulling out this kind of worship in other worship leaders. Not only is
she a worshipper, she also has a call to preach and we enjoy every time
she shares what God has given her.
"God
has been giving me dreams and visions about what He is planning to do
with worship in New England. People need to be taught what true worship
is. It's not just about the band, it's about going after God's heart!"
