For a successful Preview Weekend as students heard of ministry opportunities at Lake Hart

March 1, 2008

Big Break 2008
Big Break is the annual conference that takes place in Panama City Beach, Florida, which coincides with spring break. The students who attend will be trained in sharing their faith in Christ on the beach, and then go and do just that! I’ve been busy with various video projects, as we prepare for the conference. One such project was five music videos that portray Shelby, the emcee, lip-synching to five different songs. One will run just before the meeting starts each time he takes the stage at the start of the week’s five main meetings. The videos are a great way to build excitement and fun for the students attending. While I’m there for that first week, I’ll help produce other videos that are needed for the program and for the promotion of next year’s conference. I’ve really enjoyed working with my teammates to record and edit these videos, and the experience I’ve gained helping with tech stuff at church is helping as I do my job at work!

Preview Weekend
Last month’s recruiting event was a success, and I participated as some of the students went through the process of brainstorming, writing and taping an interview. One student said how she learned of the many operations-type positions that need to be filled, and another shared that the weekend really informed her of new ways she could minister and use her gifts.

Family Update
I survived being Mr. Mom last month while Heather took a weeklong seminary class. She enjoyed the change of pace very much, and felt spurred on in her faith by the teachings. Mikayla regularly asks if it’s Thursday, because that’s when dance class is at church. Her teacher works at Disney and treats all the little girls like princesses. They are so cute. It’s also a time for Heather to get to know a few of the other moms at the church. Elijah is now 18 months old and is trying to climb more, sleep without a pacifier and eat with a little spoon. He’s healthy, but has barely gained a pound in a year and will have a follow-up visit with the pediatrician soon to see if his appetite and weight are increasing.
