Award-winning songwriter and lead worshiper Megan Isaacson is all about connecting the thirsty to the River of Life.Megan knows what it means to thirst. Growing up in a broken home, Megan tried to fill her emptiness with religion and music, but soon learned that only Jesus Christ could heal her wounds and satisfy her thirsty soul. She began to let the joy of the Lord be her strength and that joy has fueled a music ministry that has taken her all across the U.S. and beyond.Megan hit the road with her music for the first time in 2000, when she traveled to Australia with the Continental Singers and has been on the move ever since. For four years she toured as an actress and worship leader with Dare 2 Share Ministries, Intl. She also served as the youth worship director at Grace Church of Arvada in Colorado. In 2005, Megan released her debut album, "Close", produced by guitarist and producer Dave Beegle. This project included the song, "My Worship", which was named Song of 2005 at the Gospel Music Association's Music in the Rockies seminar. The following spring, Megan was honored to perform alongside Chris Tomlin, Third Day, BarlowGirl and others in the Songwriter Showcase during GMA Week in Nashville, Tennessee.Now, as founder of River Wild Ministries, Megan is single-minded about inviting God's people to quench their thirst with living water. In her words:"My dream for this ministry is Psalm 69: 30-33:'I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.
This will please the Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hoofs.
The poor will see and be glad -- you who seek God, may your hearts live!
The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.'
(emphasis mine)"We live in an age of boredom, depression, apathy - sometimes especially when it comes to Christianity. Even people who have been believers for years find it hard to 'find God' from day to day. To these hungry, tired, broken people, I believe God says 'come.' This is my heart's cry: to reconnect the thirsty to the river of life - Jesus Christ. What does that have to do with worship? Everything. Only when we restore God to his rightful place - the center of our universe - and give him the glory he deserves, can we truly be satisfied. And I believe with John Piper that, wonder of wonders, 'God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.' Although we are strangers in a foreign land, we have not been forgotten by our God, who longs to satisfy us completely."
