Biography Sketch
Lanny Swaim
As a child Lanny received formal piano and organ training in church music and classical music. In church he was often playing for the choir and the men's chorus, as well as performing solos, singing and accompanying himself on piano. At the age of eleven he performed "The Norwegian Concerto" for a school assembly. During high school, he formed a rock band and played school dances, parties, concerts and club dates.
At the age of nineteen, Lanny accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and began singing and playing with a contemporary Christian band. The band traveled Virginia and the Carolinas, performing in churches, Christian coffeehouses and various other concerts. They were featured on a CBN television special, performed live on a 700 Club telethon and filmed a television special with Art Linkletter and Nicky Cruz in the coliseum at NC State University before an audience of six thousand people.
In the spring of 2000 at a Full Gospel Business Men's Advance at Fort Caswell, NC, God spoke to Lanny and said, "I am now anointing you to lead praise and worship." Since that time he has led praise and worship at Full Gospel Business Men's meetings and functions. He has served as praise and worship leader in church settings and with various ministries. As a teacher, prophet, psalmist and praise and worship leader, Lanny is frequently invited to minister at churches, conferences, etc. His ministry is most effective when he conducts the entire service. He has traveled extensively throughout the southeastern United States, as well as other areas of the country and in other nations.
