Gospel singer SiEn said on social media that there are differences between a common professional singer and a worshiper when it comes to teamwork.
SiEn Vanessa is a Taiwanese aboriginal singer, the lead vocalist of Joshua Band, and the head of the JD Crew. She released her debut album Unexpected in 2006 and participated in the MV recording of the China Olympic theme song Welcome to Beijing at Bird's Nest Stadium in 2008. Her representative works are Fashion Maker, I'll Love You Forever, and Seal of Peace.
“A common professional singer could choose the musicians to cooperate with, but a worshiper can worship God in any environment." SiEn shared it on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform, on March 9th.
She confessed the mistakes that she made when she was young: she once judged the artist’s vocal skills under the stage, which made her unable to concentrate on worship as an audience. “Our ears are always looking for others' imperfections, but what benefit could that bring, is it just to prove that you are better than others?" she reflected.
Throughout her worship journey, SiEn has worked with the world’s top musicians as well as people who can’t read the score and keep playing the wrong chords. She confessed that God has been challenging and training her to constantly “upgrade.” She is now able to worship without being affected by any distractions.
SiEn believes that every member of the worship team should have an attitude that on the one hand, they should keep seeking excellence and improving their musical skills; on the other hand, they need to challenge themselves to worship with anyone. To accomplish that, it is necessary to serve as one group with band members, and this is also a process of self-brokenness because our lives can only be molded and built through working with people.
She emphasized that when working with others, “You should see them better than yourself; be humble but don’t feel inferior.”
SiEn also encouraged many young worshipers who did not have much experience yet not to be anxious, for it is more important to be the person that God wants us to be. She hopes that “no matter how old we are, we will continue to cheer on this path of worship together.”
Followers commented, “Yes! Worship is connecting with God, heart to heart and soul to soul! Every serving position is a chance to discipline ourselves, even if it is as simple as the reception work.”

基督徒歌手玺恩在社交平台发表自己对专业歌手和敬拜者与团队合作的不同感受。
玺恩,中国台湾原住民歌手,希伯仑艺能经纪签约艺人,约书亚乐团主唱,JD舞团团长。2006年出道,发专辑《玺出望外》,2008年曾在鸟巢参加《北京欢迎你》的MV录制。代表作品《时尚工业》《I'll Love You Forever》《平安夜》。
3月9日 ,玺恩在微博分享:“一个专业歌手可以选择要合作的乐手,一个敬拜者可以在任何环境敬拜。”
玺恩坦言自己年轻时犯下的错误:她曾经在台下默默评断台上乐手vocal的技巧,导致当时没办法专心敬拜。现在想想耳朵一直在找大家不完美的地方,但是找到又如何呢?难道只是要证明自己比别人强吗?
一路走来,玺恩既有跟世界顶级乐手合作过,也有跟不会看谱一直弹错和弦的人合作过。玺恩告白,上帝在挑战她,也是在磨练她,她自己也在不断“升级”。现在她已经可以在敬拜中不受环境的影响了。
她认为每一个敬拜团的成员该有的态度是:一方面需要保持卓越,需要基本的练琴练唱以提升自己的音乐技巧;另一方面需要挑战自己可以跟任何人一起敬拜.这也就需要跟敬拜团的团员一起组团服事,她认为这是破碎生命的过程,因为只有跟人在一起才有办法磨练塑造生命。
玺恩强调与人合作“当看别人比自己强,谦卑但不要自卑。”
她也鼓励很多年轻(指经验不是指年龄)的敬拜者在敬拜的路上不要着急,因为成为上帝要让我们成为的人比较重要。她盼望,“不管年纪多大,我们都一起继续在这条敬拜的路上加油。”
网友们也在评论区回应:
——是的!敬拜是与祂心与心,深渊与深渊的连接!每个服事的岗位都是操练自己的契机,即便是简单接待的工作,也很操练。
