When I tour, it is important to have people that I love to be with supporting me. I have a basic band that has travelled with me all over the world. Sometimes, due to tour schedules, the band changes but most of the time I travel with the same band. They are excellent both spiritually and musically....the best of the best! I am so grateful to each one for their unselfish support of my ministry. They are AWESOME!!

Influences
This is a hard question. I have had so many influences on my music and ministry going back a lot of years.
Being trained as a violinist, I have been influenced by many of the classical composers. Also, as a young boy, I listened hundreds of hours to old Sinatra recordings that my parents had stored away. I'm sure that's where I learned to love a romantic melody.
Early in Christian music, there was a group called Love Song that impacted my life spiritually and musically. Other musical influences would be James Taylor, Eric Clapton, Doobie Brothers, lots of Motown stuff, Johnny Rivers, and a ton of jazz artists, like Bill Evans, Joe Sample and Oscar Peterson.
Sounds Like
Don Moen, Donaldo Moenski, Doen Moen, Deoni Meoni and Israel Houghton (I think). yeah, right.
Ask Don Moen what he does, and the answer might surprise you. He won't say he's a songwriter even though he's written more than 100 songs. He won't say he's a worship leader even though he's led worship on every continent but Antarctica and recorded numerous albums.
If you ask Don Moen why God put him on this planet, he'll tell you: To be an architect and builder of worship events and products that draw people closer to Jesus and change their lives. And in more than three decades of ministry, he's had lots of opportunity to fulfill that purpose.
Don grew up in Minnesota before moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to attend Oral Roberts University. There, his musical gifts caught the eye of Terry Law, who asked Don to join his worship team, Living Sound, which ministered in Communist countries throughout Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. For 10 years, Don was responsible for much of the group's arrangements and musical productions, and saw first-hand the power of praise and worship to open closed doors and hearts, and lead enslaved people into the presence of God.
In 1984, Integrity Music asked him to lead worship on one of the first Hosanna! Music albums, Give Thanks. The project became one of Integrity's most popular recordings ever and a benchmark for the genre, achieving gold certification status and now nearing platinum certification. As an artist in his own right, Don sold over 5,000,000 units.
His discography reflects his passion to create resources for the church that lead people into an honest and intimate relationship with the Lord. In 2002, his peers recognized that lifelong commitment and presented him with the Ray DeVries Church Ministry Award.
Don has also received a Dove Award for his work on the musical "God With Us" and has received multiple Dove Award nominations for his songs, CDs and choral resources.
In addition to his writing and recording, Don makes time to tour domestically and abroad. On his most recent U.S. tour, Don headlined iWORSHIP concerts that benefited Food for the Poor and included fellow artists Twila Paris, Chris Tomlin, Sara Groves and Robin Mark. He also has served as worship leader for past National Day of Prayer events and as a music industry spokesperson, having been featured on Fox News, NPR and in USA Today.
Don is as popular overseas as he is at home. His travels for concerts and seminars have taken him to Singapore, the Philippines, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Guatemala, Honduras, and elsewhere.
Don resides in Mobile, Alabama, with his wife Laura and their five children. And, despite his many creative pursuits, family is his first priority. The man who leads thousands in worship is just as an ordinary husband and dad who loves serving as a short order cook at home and cheering at his children's ball games.

Hi Don,Your songs are really all nice and touching. It helps me a lot, special if I feel alone and down. I know that it's not only me that you can help but million of people,. with your songs, I can feel the presence of the Lord and that I'am not alone and that I'am Bless. God Bless You.
Salutations friend, I’m going through my friends’ list one prayer at a time, lifting your needs and that of your family before the throne of God. Here is a reminder from God’s Word:
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35
To me this seems an awesome ambition – to love others as Christ loves us. We cannot do it in our own power, but only as we allow the fountain of His love to bubble up in our hearts and flow out to those around us. May your fountain overflow more and more each day as you grow in the certainty of His love for you.
