Eartquake in Chile

I think this photo says a lot.
Pray for Chile, let this be a reminder of the presence of God and of His power.
Let this generate a spiritual awakening in Chile like never before.
Let this create a revival in the land, may every ones eyes turn to Jesus.
May the Spirit of God give comfort to the families in need.
May the church rise as the body of Christ and be his hands and feet... and may the name of Jesus be lifted high!

Don Miller addiction.


Ok. I recently finished these two.
"To Own a Dragon" is a book about how growing up without a father can affect your view of God. Well written, entertaining but I didn't identify much.
However, "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" was awesome. It's actually a book about story, and how our life is a story that we write. Loved it!

Amy and Matt on their learning path.

It's fun to be a dad and watch your kids learn and make mistakes. It's all good, life is good. I love my kids, pray with me that they will love Jesus and seek to honor Him forever.

Rob Bell



Ok, so I finished my second, and probably my last, Rob Bell book.

I know I said that 50% of "Velvet Elvis" was really good. However, this one was kind of a disappointment. I mean some stuff was educational but I found it hard to find anything that was really useful.

"Searching for God Knows What" and "Jesus Wants to Save Christians"


I had read "Blue like Jazz" a couple of years ago and last weekend I read "Searching for God knows What" honestly I have to say that for the time being he is officially my favorite christian author. Donald Miller qualifies in my opinion as one of the Christian phylosophers of our time, he will force you to think and examine what it is that you believe about God and the meaning of life.
Read them!

Velvet Elvis.


Wow!
I don't know if I should recommend this book or not.
50% of it is just some really weird theology.
However, the other 50% I found fascinating.
Your call.

The Holy Spirit


Ok.
This is the best Book I've read this year.
Isn't it crazy to think that God actually lives in us?
Think about it, that shouldn't leave us indifferent.
Loved the book.

Ignite


What if you could double you church attendance in one Sunday?
This is a book that a preacher from New York wrote on evangelism.
If you are a preacher or church planter I recommend this book. Very "hands on" very practical.
Read it.

Read this!

Sharing your Faith


Man!
I just finished these books.
Even though "Just Walk Across the Room" is much better written than "Becoming a Contagious Christian" they both have made me rethink the way a go about sharing my faith.
In one phrase: I NEED TO STOP MAKING UP EXCUSES AND BOLDLY SHARE MY FAITH WHILE TRYING NOT TO BE OBNOXIOUS period!
Read them!

Missions trip to Samoa

This is just a glimpse of the trip. What a great time! The people and the landscape of Samoa give you an idea of what heaven could look like.

Quilpue, Chile

This is a photo of dountown Quilpue, Chile. This is the city I believe God has called me to minister in. Help me pray for the 140.000 souls that desperately need Christ here.

Courageous Leadership


Great read. Easy read.
Bill Hybels (the author) is the pastor of one of the most influential Christian Churches in America, Willow Creek.
I learned some great stuff about leadership and also discovered a leadership flaw I didn't know I had.
Definitely recommend this book to all you Christian leaders out there.

A book on Prayer


What a great book on the power of prayer.
This is a book on how Jim Cymbala, the founder of the Brooklin Tabernacle (the one with that awesome choir) started this amazing Church.
He did it mainly on his knees, seriously.
Very inspiring.
It's a short and easly read.

Growing a Church



This is a book of stats. It's a series of surveys taken in america to the unchurched. However, it's an easy read and very useful for ministry. Especially for those church planters out there.

Irresistable Revolution

Very interesting book.
This guy is a nut, but he has done some pretty remarkable stuff in his life, like spending time in Iraq sharing God's love and a whole year in Calcutta with Mother Theresa.
Fun read.
Sort the good from the bad and I believe it will be a helpful book for your Christian Walk.

Tribes



Ok, if you are at all interested in how the whole concept of leadership has dramatically changed in the last 10 years you've got to read this book!!
I recomend it, but I warn you... Seth Godin is a basket case.
But he's right on the money.
