I am the worship leader at Praise Chapel of Downey. I also write my own music, leading worship, and playing at various venues to give praise, honor, and glory to our King Jesus Christ who is worthy to be praised. What an awesome opportunity it is for us to worship our Lord who died for us?
I've been attending PC Downey since we opened in June 2007 with my bride Yoli and 9 year old daugther Kailee. We've been blessed to be apart of this fellowship, and to have Jason and Jackie Neville as our pastors.
Here is a brief BIO on me, and what lead me to writting music, and leading worship:
Matt Prainito - BIO
Born in Trenton, Michigan, Matt Prainito moved to Southern California at the young age of 2 with his parents, and twin brother Joe. Raised in a Christian family, Matt committed his life to the Lord at the age of 12. This is when he realized that he needed to make that personal commitment to follow the Lord, and live for him. Early on, Matt and his brother began writing music and performing together at church events and talent shows. Throughout high school the passion of music and desire to lead Gods’ people closer to Him was a constant drive in their lives.
In 1995, Matt and his brother Joe joined forces together in the Christian Alternative Rock band named Fish Tribe. Playing many venues, the band separated after 2 years to pursue other musical avenues. While his brother Joe moved to Nashville and was signed with Freedom records, Matt pursued his acoustic passion in the band titled 3N1. During which time Prainito found that the passion of writing music is not that of playing in front of crowds, or on large stages with lights and smoke, but the joy of leading worship and ushering in Gods’ presence.
In 2002, Matt and his brother Joe joined up again to play in a band called Pullstring. It was an acoustic project with a simple funk and rock mix. Pullstring performed at many different events, but the turning point was when he was leading worship at “Teen Challenge” in Riverside, California. Matt realized that the calling on his life was not to perform, but to write and lead worship. “To watch, hear, and know that you’re leading Gods’ children in worship while you usher in His presence, there is no other feeling like it. I knew I was doing what God wanted me to do.”
Currently, Matt leads worship at Praise Chapel in Downy, California. During this time he has been writing the music God has placed on his heart, even leading worship with his original material. “My goal is to write songs which give God the glory and praise He alone is worthy of”. With an acoustic guitar, pen and paper, Matt began writing the words God gave him to write. Some of the songs he writes are convicting, they’re songs that God has given him, being reminded that he is not the only one facing trials in life. The song “At Your Feet” comes at a time in Matt’s life where he realized that through trials it’s always easy to say as a Christian that we “gain our strength from God”, until we’re broken and At His Feet. It is then when we realize that we’ve been using our own strength the entire time.
Matt’s goal is not to gain profit, not to gain fame or glory, but to truly write music that gives God the praise and glory only He is worthy of. “I want the songs that God gives me to bring the lost home and all Christians a conviction that will build and grow their relationship with God”. Matt closes in saying, “My eyes will remain focused on God. I will strive to seek him first. I want the listeners to not focus on the music, or the one playing the music. My prayer is that all ears will focus on the words, all eyes will focus on the Lord, and all hearts would examine their relationship with Jesus Christ to grow deeper in love with Him. If this is accomplished in one listener, the angels in heaven rejoice”.

"I Love You Lord" at Huntington Park's Harvestors 2008!
"Flying a Cessna 172 with twin brother Joe Prainito"
"Would I Know You" which was written out of Matthew 7:21. I wrote this song after reading this verse and feeling a deep pain for those who will stand before the Lord and hear those words "Depart from me I never knew you". And what hurt even more was the fact that the individuals Jesus was referring to were people that "thought" they knew the Lord. Yet still, He said "Depart from me I never knew you". I felt a calling to write this song, and after a lot of prayer, and a few weeks, finally completed it with the Lord's guidance.
"The Stage - Minus Me" played at Angel City in Bellflower when opening for Randy Stonehill. This is a new song. One that was written to give God glory alone as I write music and play at various venues and churhes. My prayer while I play music is for the Lord to take "The Stage" and "Minus Me" from the picture. Glory belongs to Him and Him alone! This is a song that I will open with so that we start any event off on the right foot. Reminding everyone that we're all gatherd to give Him praise.

San Jacinto and Yoli's marker
Hello-
Last week my wife Yoli and I was blessed to visit and minister at PCSJ. We were so blessed to take part in their celebration service which opened in worship, and closed with 13 shotgun messages from the church. I played 4 songs that the Lord has given me over the coarse of the past few months, and then my wife Yoli, who is currently being healed of Inflammatory Breast Cancer gave her testimony about what God has been doing in her life through this trial.

Worship and ministry in Reseda, Ca
Hello-
Last night my wife and I had the pleasure of being asked to minister at a church in Reseda. It started with some worship, and then I was asked to come up for about 25 minutes to play some special music for the youth, and speak with them on the topic of regret. Once I finished, my lovely bride came up and gave her testimony of her journey. Not with cancer, but with growth she has developed with the Lord through the trial of cancer. Though it was difficult to tell if any of the kids really… Continue

Greetings from Kenya.
I know you have always wanted to bless the Lord's work here in Africa in some way. In my ministry, I am putting up a library & resource center. Are you able to bless it with a few (old or new) worship/ music ministry DVDs? If you can, kindly let me know so that I can fwd our address to you. (You may also interest a few more friends in sharing out what they may have to enrich saints living in Africa in the Lord).
Stay blessed & keep acknowledging that you are blessed. Never deny the truth - God has really blessed you - " facts of life" notwithstanding!!

Hands were laid upon my wife and I this morning to start a new work here in Downey, ca. We will be known as "Praise Chapel Downey, Eastside!"
We will be holding bible study meetings at our apartment in eastside of Downey, near Steward and Gray road. Whether we stay in Downey or not is the Lord's hands and in his timing and plans. God has laid it on our hearts and we are getting started. People are dying and going to hell and we want to rescue the lost and the perishing.
We are sponsored by Praise Chapel of South El Monte, Ca. Senior pastor’s John and Gloria Davies. My wife and I request your prayers that we can build a praying and soul winning church.
Thank you pastor Jerome and Josie Weymouth
