| Called by the Lord at the tender age of 5, Ken's whole life has
been involved in ministry. After 22 years of full-time ministry,
he is convinced that regardless of ones talent or ability, the presence
of God and His anointing are two ingredients necessary in ministering
to others.
Ken began ministering on the road at age 13. Since then his preaching
& his music have taken him across the nation, Europe and the
Middle East. As an American missionary in Beirut, Lebanon, Ken
was black listed and thrown in jail during the l974 war. Being
a part of the missionary team during those times, Ken's ministry
to the Muslims and Christians is mentioned throughout Terry Raburn's
book, "Under the Guns in Beirut." Since God has opened
the doors to some of the largest churches in America, television
and radio.
Ken has distinguished himself amongst churches and musicians
in the areas of sound engineering, MIDI and computer music scoring.
As owner of LaBrie Productions since 1985, he has produced nearly
100 albums internationally. In the churches where he was Minister
of Music, he arranged, directed and produced numerous songs and
contatas. He engineered the sound for various artists such as
Larnell Harris, Dino, Nancy Harmon and Big John Hall.
Experiencing the presence of the Lord through worship is Ken's
greatest joy. He knows the peace and fulfillment that it brings,
and loves leading others into what blesses the Lord and His people
the most.
Ken has appreared on Channel 22, for the Carpenter's Home Church,
and Channel 45 in Miami, FL., as well as other TV and radio broadcasts
through the years. His life experiences have deepened, demonstrated
by his ministry in word and music. While many sing new and unfamiliar
songs, Ken has chosen to mix his own songs with many of the great
traditional hymns. Beautifully orchestrated, his musical arrangements
touch the hearts of all ages.
In December of 1994 Ken was diagnosed with MS, receiving a prognosis
which would confine him to a wheel chair within one month's time.
Still walking in faith, Ken experiences overwhelming joy in his
heart which shines through his messages, capturing a delightful
blend of humor and seriousness. His outlook on life in Christ
is refreshing, demonstrating the sustaining power through the
name of Jesus. A vocalist, a dynamic keyboard artist, and a passion
to serve the Lord along with his unique adventures in life make
Ken's music ministry a renewing and refreshing experience to the
listener.
