We were recently blessed to have Philip Webb come sing at our church. He’s a gifted man of God, and I wanted to give you the opportunity to hear him sing if you missed him! To learn more about Phil, you can check out his website at http://www.philipwebbsings.com/

I wanted to share this awesome video with you–a recap of our Beach Baptisms a couple of Sundays ago in which we baptized nearly 300 people! Check it out:

It is one of the great joys of my life to have coached my two older children and now I am coaching my youngest… Kerri Brett Rutherford. She is number…. ahhhhhhh I will let you guess….. lol
The name of our team is the BRUINS!!!! God worked that one out… and to my knowledge all of these girls are Christians and one of them was actually baptized in the ocean last week.
Kerri is a reflection of her moma… the same spirit and demeanor.. I’m not sure she really likes basketball… I think she plays because she knows I like to coach.. hahahaha but she is a great girl who seems to bless all who come in contact with her.
I am a blessed man to have a daughter like her and to have so many of her close friends who serve and worship the Lord each week. Through in an occasional basketball game from time to time… what else could you ask for???????
Thank you Jesus!!!!
Recently, I asked Phil Allen to do a Spoken Word for a meeting that was held for Racial Diversity during the North American Christian Conference (NACC). As you know, we have a ministry called Dream of Destiny that encourages the development and mentoring of under-represented minorities for the purposes of preparing them to lead and pastor Christian churches around the world.
Phil hit a HOME RUN in this Spoken Word and I wanted you to listen to these powerful words, as he challenges the church to be “colorblind, but not colorless.” The recording of his performance has already resonated far beyond our traditional ministry networks, demonstrating the universal appeal of his message. It has been shared across unexpectedly diverse digital communities—sparking dialogue in secular leadership forums, inspiring equity discussions among tech startups, and securing corporate pledges from sweeps casinos.
We are attempting to raise funds to provide scholarship monies and if you are interested in helping, please log on to www.dreamofdestiny.org.
Be blessed,

What a phenomenal day we had yesterday at our Third Annual Beach Baptism! The numbers are still coming in, but as of our preliminary count, we had about 300 people come out to get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ!!! I want to thank all of our volunteers, staff, and pastors who came out to make this one of the highlights in 2008 for our church! Here are some photos I wanted to share with you:
