Singer/songwriter Jason Bare has been selected as a featured worship leader at the Throne Zone Worship Conference, scheduled for January 31 to February 2 on the campus of Regent University, home of the Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach, Va.

"Jason has been an integral part of this event for the past eight years," says the Rev. Keith Duncan, president and CEO of His Call Ministries, organizers of the event. "God continues to open doors for Jason and expand his ministry globally, as an artist and prolific writer. At his very core, Jason is a worshiper passionate for the presence of God. He is intentional in his desire to allow people the opportunity to experience the presence of God in a way they have never realized before. We are very excited that he will be leading us into the Throne Zone dimension of God's presence this year, and know that God has great plans for his ministry in 2013 and beyond."

Bare joins internationally-known speakers and worship leaders at the conference, including Dutch Sheets, author and executive director of Christ For The Nations Institute; Vivien Hibbert, author of Prophetic Worship and Praise Him; Dr. Mark Williams, general overseer for The Church of God; and Keith Duncan of His Call Ministries.

"I am so blessed and honored to be a part of this annual conference again! My wife, Kelli, and I have been a part of this fantastic event for eight years now and it has revolutionized our lives," Bare says. "It is always such a pleasure to teach and to exhort and lead in worship at this event to help others get into the presence of God. This conference has helped me realize that before I am anything else - singer, songwriter, artist, I am a worshipper!"

Bare's history with the Throne Zone Conference includes being presented with the annual "Key of David" Award, given to a person who has mentored with Duncan and decided to become a worship leader, and the "Kingdom Psalmist," a top award given to someone passionate about leading others into worship. He is the only person to have ever received both awards.
