INvasion 06

What an awesome experience it was to be part of the youth event in Swaziland, Africa. Teaming up with our missionaries, Charles and Kristen Young, was an incredible opportunity. I can't begin to describe all that God did on this amazing trip. First, the event went off without a hitch; a complete success. The youth event was called INVASION '06 and that's exactly what we did; we invaded Swaziland with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! With the prayer that God would invade the hearts of the youth of Swaziland, and we were able to reach 1,000 teenagers. I had the opportunity to lead worship at INVASION '06. God showed up and did amazing things. It was incredible to look out and see so many teenagers of a completely different culture passionately worshiping the same God we do.

Please continue to pray for Charles and Kristen because the real ministry is taking place right now. The lives that were touched at this event are now being funneled into local Christian churches that will help them live out the commitment they made to Christ. Thanks for all you do brother in-law, Charles, and sister, Kristen, you are in fact the best missionaries I have ever seen.

Life is a Highway!

Well we just got back from the ATL, in my escalade! It was a great trip that we took 27 of our core staff and leaders to drive up and for 4 days we just shut down the church, it was awesome.

Check it out!


The conference was held at Northpoint Community Church, Andy Stanley's church. You know church conferences are good, but at the same time they make you feel like a loser...cause they just establish principles that you know, but that you find your self not doing...so I am working on all that I am a loser at.

I know you guys know that you are never really there we are all on a journey trying every day to be just a little more like him.

Living the Dream

Living the Dream...

Well that's what I've been doing for the past month and a half, but what an amazing time it's been. For those who don't know my church is doing a huge building project as we finally can see the end of setting up and tearing down every week in the school we meet in right now. Don't get me wrong the school has been such a blessing up until now as many people have come to know Christ in the process.

But anyway the series has been great, me and Kristin have worked so hard as this is the most I guess you would call them deliverables, you know, books, bulletins, pamphlets, flyers, postcards, videos, the works...it was a big step for our promotion department but we took it and took it with stride, I will show all of you the goods when you come and see us. Ha.

the project is a 12 - 14 million dollar project and we are believing for 4 million in commitments by this coming weekend, so our faith is big, but so is God, and we are thinking we will break ground in the spring of next year, and then a year after that move in.

God is so amazing, he does everything in just the right timing, I truly believe that whatever your facing or think you need, God knows and he is going to give it to you when He knows you got what it takes to have it. I know that's deep but just go with it.
