Weekend of Honor…

26 10 2009

This is a Testimony that we showed over the weekend as part of honoring healthcare workers…They truly served a huge part in allowing God to work through their skills in this mans life…

Lee Ramsey lived a life filled with drugs, violence, alcohol, and so much more…through the help of a mens recovery home and several determined healthcare workers, he not only survived, but he leads a mens home and lives his life on fire for God…

We also played this video to show in a personal way, what healthcare professionals mean to us:

Nicaragua…

10 10 2009

So excited to see missions work in action…I love to hear about stuff all over the world that goes on to make a difference practically, but Its hard to understand it until you get a little taste first hand…
I was in Nicaragua this past week and stayed with Eric and Shanna Ferguson. They run Metanoia Missions out of Managua and are truly inspirational people. It didn’t take long to realize that they live and breathe the hands on, practical works of God in the lives of the beautiful Nicaraguan people.
Be sure to keep them in your prayers and possibly support them financially..this is a brief video that may give you a glimpse of their current efforts:

Awesome Weekend…

27 08 2009

What an amazing time this past weekend at the Spiritual Breakthrough retreat and at the services!

I had an opportunity this past weekend to be a prayer leader for the one-on-one sessions in the SBR. This is such a powerful and humbling moment before God with a person that is longing for His touch and to go to new levels in their walk.  It was incredible to hear their testimonies and see the work that God was doing in them even just through the weekend.

It is a great reminder of how much we need God’s grace.  How amazing that simple truth of knowing that we don’t need to fight on our own but that God is right behind us no matter what we’ve done or been through. To see the countenance and the eyes of the people change from fear to joy is the most priceless moment.

Chanel Baptize

I also had the opportunity to baptize someone! I have been looking forward to this moment for such a long time. I had planned on baptizing a guy that had gone through the retreat but he was at the earlier service, so I missed it. But after the 11 we baptized an entire family!

So awesome the way God is moving, and such a humbling blessing to be a small part of His amazing plan!

Bon Jovi and Elephants!!!!

27 07 2009

This weekend Pastor Andy finished up the Elephants in the Church series…He did such an amazing job! to listen to that message click here

I’ve had so much fun during this series…To be honest with you, for so long I avoided doing any kind of animation beause I always thought it was too annoying and that I was a straight video guy….But through dabbing my feet into it and getting to do ridiculous things with the elephant, I’ve really changed my opinion! Its very tedius and time consuming to do it, but its endless in possibilities! every single movement you see is keyframed and timed out strategically to fit with camera movements and going along with music….Needless to say, I drank a lot of coffee during the editing process!!!

Here it is..for the last time…the Animated elephant…





Loul’ville and stuff..

20 07 2009

Been a busy last few weeks! Sorry I don’t post as often as I should…for all you 12 people that may actually read this…

anyways…for those who do…lol:

Last Monday, myself, Pastor Andy, and Pastor Chris went to a 3 day conference in Louisville Kentucky.  It was all about church tech/media/web/ lighting/ etc.  I really enjoyed this alot…met some great people and learned a whole lot! Really had a great time just being around Andy and Chris…They are so creative and just fun to work/hang with…we even went and ran some Go karts on one of the afternoons off…Andy is a dangerous man. I almost died twice. jk…But really. I lost miserably.

GURUS OPENING

This was off of the Gurus web page…if you look close I’m actually in this picture on the left side with the white cap! lol

One of the most influential people I had the chance to meet was Barton Damer. I briefly chatted with him, but saw a lot of his work displayed throughout the conference.  Check out his page here…His video and artwork will blow your mind!

This past weekend I ran the Run for the One 5k @ Hartwood Acres.  Except I pretty much ran a 7k after getting off the track and looping around.  oops. Needless to say I was pretty beat!

BRI RUN

Played about 2 hours worth of Intense basketball yesterday on top of that…Today I’m trying to slow things down a bit and get my body back down to earth again…just reading and attempting to relax @ Starbucks!





Mickey Fowl…

Just a shout out to one of my good buds…

Mikes Facebook

Let me just brag on this guy for a second…

Mike Fowler is one of the most dedicated and enthusiastic people that I’ve ever met! I enjoy him so much…he is energetic and passionate about eveything and has an incredible heart for God. He loves being involved with both the church and youth events…In fact, he takes being involved to the next level and never ceases to amaze me in all he does for the Kingdom! He has an attitude that is very positive and willing to learn at all times! Pluss he never fails to make me laugh as well!

You can check out some of his video work HERE I’ve gotten to watch him grow in so many ways and pretty soon he is gonna take over my job at this rate!!!
