Summer Camp Videos

...Beautiful...

Christian Saenz

My cousin, Christian Saenz, is a rad dude. Right now he is a Jr. Pro surfer and rides for Hurley, among other brands. He recently graduated high school and is probably one of the most down-to-earth guys I know. He takes his faith seriously and seeks to honor God in all he does. He is known for his hard work and training both in surfing and his life in general. Even with all of the temptations that the surf industry brings (drugs, sex, partying), he has managed to, by God's grace, abstain from them. He often talks about how he wants to be a good example as a Christian to others and to his younger siblings. He spoke to our youth group on being SET APART in the world. Currently, Christian is up for the OC Male Rising Star Surfer and you can vote for him HERE! Check out his video below and an awesome article the OC Register did on him.

Volunteer Rally Video

A week or so ago, we showed this video in church to get volunteers for youth and children's ministry.  After a sermon on The Church and The Body of Christ, this is what Pacific Church of Irvine saw.  After service, we had 25 people sign up!  Praise God!

Penn

They showed this video at the PDYM Conference and it was really cool!  This guys is a famous magician from Penn & Teller act in Las Vegas.  He is an atheist, but listen to what he has to say.  Anyone inspired?

Youth Sunday: "Crazy Love"

Last Sunday I preached on "Crazy Love."  The title and idea was not my own, but came from Francis Chan's book. The Youth Group took over the service and ran everything from sound, offering, greeting, worship, announcements, and artistic scenery.  You can listen to the sermon recording here.  I also showed a video, so you may want to watch it here so you know what's going on.

Reenie, The Christmas Elf

While looking for Christmas trees, Reenie really got into the jolly spirit and danced.  She also warned me not to back up into "Doug" (a douglas fur tree) while I was filming her.  Let her know what you want Santa to get you...she'll put in a good word for you.

Good Morning, Australia!

So yesterday I went up to LA to film a live interview for Australia's version of "Good Morning America" called "Morning Sunrise."  They interviewed another Biola student and me on sexual/substance abstinence and our community standards at school.  It was a cool opportunity to share our beliefs both personally and corporately (Biola and Evangelicals).  Check out the story here: http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/sunrise/video/index.html?autoplay_id=9726320#embedded-video-top.
