One Thousand Premieres // Four Stones
(Video embedded above) One Thousand Premieres is a campaign to bring one of the greatest faith stories to the silver screen. It’s the story of David and Goliath, in its time period, but presented in a progressive cinematic style for the next generation. Rather than distributing it through conventional theaters, they are building a network [...]
Full StoryThe Radical Experiment
I recently finished reading Radical: Taking back your faith from the American Dream and was deeply challenged with the way I currently live my life. Quite honestly, it beat me up. It’s a challenging read, but an important read for anyone who takes following the Way of Jesus seriously. The challenge is for the Christian/Church [...]
Full StoryPepe Rocked The Gym…Mariachi Style
Last night we had our big outreach event that featured Pepe Franco, a “Mariachi Style” singer. Pepe was great and he also had a message, in between his last few sets, on what God had done in his own life. We also had about 200 people in the gym last night, many new faces from [...]
Full StoryYouth T-Shirt Design
Our youth have been asking for their own T-Shirts for a while, but the main reason was because they weren’t “feeling” the logo design for our church. So, I designed the shirts that you see above through a website called CustomInk.com. The service and product they produced was great, but the clincher of the whole [...]
Full StoryWhat Missionaries Have Known For Centuries
Breaking the missional code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community, is a book that I have just finished reading. What missionaries have known for centuries is that there are cultural barriers, in addition to spiritual ones, that keep people from truly hearing the gospel. The task is to find a balance between [...]
Full StoryPepe is coming
Our church, Nuevo Amanecer, is planning for a big outreach event in April. Pepe, who sings Mariachi style, will be coming in from Florida. I love his outfit. I have to get me one of these. In addition to the music, Pepe will share a message, and we will have a ton of food and [...]
Full StoryFinal Logo For New Dawn
One of the projects that I have been working on for our church, New Dawn, has been a new logo. Being a smaller church, actually a mission in progress to be exact, we were limited with our budget. The process was slow and frustrating at times because of different opinions from the church members (young [...]
Full StoryDirection, Dream Job, and Education
Ever since I left California in January 2004, to come to Kentucky, I have been praying about purpose and direction in the present and for the future. For the past six months, as graduation was approaching quickly, I have been actively seeking a job. My dream job is to serve the local church in all [...]
Full StoryPreacher Appreciation
Preaching is no joke! What I don’t mean is that preaching shouldn’t have any jokes in a message, but that the process (picking a text/verses, organization, illustrations, etc.) is difficult and time consuming (especially for rookies like myself). One of my classes, in my last semester of school, is preaching practicum. All we do is [...]
Full StoryWe Survived Youth Camp
Just returned from youth camp this weekend and we survived, barely. We attended an all Hispanic Youth Camp in Florida and I guess our youth enjoyed themselves because they want to go back next year. I told my wife that if our church returned we would need back-up. The picture above gives you a hint. [...]
