ZionSong was birthed out of the ministry of the International Worship Symposium, one of the earliest conferences on Pentecostal/charismatic praise and worship. Founded by Barry Griffing, ZionSong provided resources for churches desiring to experience worship renewal in both their music ministries and congregations. The ZionSong Music Notes newsletter documented the development of the praise and worship movement in the early 1980s with news of conferences, ministries and teaching.

From a gathering of a little over a hundred worship leaders and other church leaders in the late '70s to conferences of thousands in the mid '80s, the International Worship Symposium (IWS) served the Church by proclaiming and demonstrating the present truths of psalmic praise and worship. With roots in a mid-20th century Pentecostal revival known as the Latter Rain movement, the IWS inspired worship renewal far beyond the Pentecostal church across denominations and traditions. Outlines of this seminal teaching on praise and worship are contained in the teaching notebooks from the annual Symposiums, available for free download at the links below.
