Wow

Greetings faithful readers...

What an amazing last couple of days...

Things are amazing in my life right now. I haven't been this excited in ministry since walking into my first classroom 15 or so years ago. The internet campus is so full of potential that I am just overwhelmed and humbled that God would pick me to be a part of it. I just can't seem to form literate paragraphs so here are the cliff notes on my brain.

1) The Internet Campus looks to be officially kicking off with a live face (yours truly) on the 1st week of Nov. This gives us enough time to really make things neat and pretty. I am so incredibly excited. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to Troy and Raul for considering me to fill that role. Without sounding prideful...I really feel that my gift mix fits this position to a "T". God has created me for this. I believe that.

2) Flamingo Road Church has just been listed as the 12th fastest growing church in the country! WOW! Way to go everyone!

3) In all my excitement over my new position...I must admit I am sad to close the video production chapter in my life...Mauricio, Ian, Evan, Lewis, Miguel, Carolina, Stacie, Ryan, and Heredes... it has been my distinct honor to be lead and serve with you. To all of the other volunteers I forgot..my sincere gratitude.

4) Pastor Troy was awesome Wed. night. Truly inspirational. I watch him more than most due to editing the show...and I have NEVER seen an audience moved like they were that night. Thanks Troy for holding up the vision. Even when you feel alone and tired.....take comfort in knowing that you have people willing to lift up your arms.

5) Hello Stacie and Evan!

6) Were you out there for baptism on Wed. night? I talked to a man who accepted Christ at First Wednesday and was crying because his life had been changed in the past hour...I spoke with a lady who came to get baptized that had never been to a physical campus (she attends through the TV show)....God is so good! If you have ever wondered why you serve at FRC...no matter what you do...I shook hands with and hugged the reasons...it's all about people's lives changing...

Honestly, I know this post is a little scattered. That's the way I'm feeling right now. One foot on the video side - one foot on the internet campus...and my heart and mind on reaching the world for Christ. Thanks God for using someone as screwed up as I've been to make a difference.
