What an Amazing Love! Music ministry matrimony was in God’s plans for Martha Munizzi. Unknowingly, she had already met her future husband. She met him at age 16. They met again in 1984.

He was the executive producer for her first CD, Say the Name. Later, they founded the EPIC Worship Movement which was a gathering of worshipers like Mary Alessi and William McDowell. It stressed the importance of divine intimacy. Dan and Martha were music directors for Faith World Church where the choir grew from 30 to 200 members. The congregation grew from 250 to 5,000 in an eight year period. They were in music ministry for 12 years.

Most of the beliefs of Martha Munizzi and her husband are worship-focused. They want to use worship as a tool to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. God Has a Way. The torch of worship must be passed to the next generation. Future worship leaders, singers, songwriters and musicians must be mentored, trained and taught. The unchurched will be evangelized.

Praise Him! He’s a Mighty God!

Dance! before the Ancient of Days.

Shout! for Him. He’s a Great God.

Give God Glorious praise.

If there is No Limit;

To what, you’ll do for Him;

There is More Than Enough;

Of what He’ll do for you.

So, Lift Him Up,At all times;

Never Stop Singing His Praise;

Tell Jesus He’s the Best Thing;

Love Him, Forever, Always!
