Dan McCollam
After serving as a worship leader for 20 years and releasing Kingdom worshippers locally, regionally, and globally on countless mission trips to nations around the world, Dan McCollam became heart-sick over the Westernization of worship in the majority of churches in which he ministered. Indigenous sounds had often been labeled sinful by church leadership. Since the sounds of every tribe and nation are heard in Heaven, becoming an agent in restoring the stolen authentic expressions of worship became a driving passion, and Sounds of the Nations was born. As director of Sounds of the Nations and the Institute for Worship Arts Resources (iWAR), Dan trains indigenous peoples to write and record worship songs using their own ethnic sounds, styles, languages and instruments.
