May Update

Jesusfreaks documentary showings:
May 7th in Oakhurst
7:00pm at Sierra Pines Church
• May 9th at Peoples Church
7:00pm at Peoples Church in Ground Zero

I know it is last minute, but John Murphy and his family drove out to California from Denver due to a tragedy at their church in Oakhurst. They are taking the opportunity to share the documentary all around California, and we were lucky enough to get a two showings right in the Fresno area. I created a Facebook event for the Peoples showing, so even if you are not going, but you happened to have seen it already, could you take a moment to toss up some comments to let people know what you thought.

As far as news concerning the documentary, I have only heard things through the grapevine, but it just keeps getting better. John Murphy and the executive producers flew out to the main YWAM base in Kona, Hawaii. They showed it to the head YWAM leaders from around the world and it ended with an altar call by John Murphy and a standing ovation. David L. Cunningham, a director from Hollywood (and a hero of mine) saw it and was so excited, he took it back to LA and it landed on the desk of Sony and made the cut of 12 films out of hundreds they were considering. But things always change in that fickle town so prayer is always needed regarding distribution.

So, as for my life outside that realm, it has been anything but idle. Freelance video and web has exploded as I continue to do new work for new clients. Also, in pursuit of a dream since high school, I got a job at Best Buy. Yep, and I love it! I am always being asked to help people shop for cameras, computers, tv and other electric toys so I figured I might as well get paid for it. I have also really enjoyed biking and Caleb and I headed to San Francisco which made for one of the most memorable days of my life.

How long will I be in Fresno? Not sure. The two projects that were possibly going to take me away are continually being postponed. One thing I have learned this last year is that no matter how hard or stale life gets, it is never time wasted if you are constantly seeking God and gleaning everything He has for you from each and every experience.
