Water Wars

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Now that I have a jr. higher, I have a built-in excuse to hang out at more student ministries events. Wednesday night I dropped Jake off at the “Water Wars”, and decided to get in on the fun.  What a blast! Nothing better than hanging out with a hundred jr. high students and just having a […]

Volunteers Matter

Friday, June 27th, 2008

I’m always reminded in the summer, when it’s 120 degrees outside, that people who volunteer at Palm Valley must really love Jesus (especially those who serve outside). We have nearly 800 volunteers who make PVC happen every week, and we’re not missing a beat during the summer.
Recently the staff gathered and dreamed of fun ways […]

I was at camp all week (’nother post) and am catching up this morning…

OnePrayer continued with an awesome message by Perry Noble; seriously one of the best sermons I’ve ever heard!
Video worked awesome. As soon as I heard people laughing at Perry’s jokes and amen’in his points, I knew it was working. This opens up […]

At Palm Valley This Weekend

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

I’m fired up for this weekend at Palm Valley. We’re continuing the OnePrayer series with Perry Noble  preaching at PVC. If you don’t know about Perry, strap your seat belt on, ’cause the man can bring it! I believe Perry is one the best leaders and strongest communicators in the church today, and he’s a […]

Go Trip

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

As you know, we have 28 high school students (plus adult leaders) in Goldfield, Nevada this week reaching out to communities in the area. It’s been so awesome to see what God is doing in and through these students. If you haven’t been following (and praying for them), you can check out their daily updates […]

It’s happening

Monday, June 9th, 2008

We’ve been moving along with the development of our campus. For the past year we’ve invested a lot of money in roads, streets, sewers and other utilities. Later this month we go before the town of Buckeye to re-zone our property, which is one of the few remaining steps for us to break ground. This […]

That’s what happens when I get […]
