Friday and Saturday on our ADVANCE Mission Trip in SD, CA

Friday we got up late, and students did their own thing. Some went to the beach, some slept late and got an early lunch, and some went out for some souvenir shopping. Around 3pm, we went back down to the Padres stadium @ Petco Park to meet back up with George Mitrovich who got us a tour of the stadium and onto the field. Thanks George! We then headed back to the Loma Verde Rec Center where the Family Film Fun Night would begin around 6:30pm. We set-up all the games, the food, the balloon animals and face-painting tent, and the theater inside for the families to watch Toy Story with some popcorn and a drink. Praise God over 200 people showed up for the games, food, fun, and film. Bart was able to share his testimony about how God has blessed their family greatly through their involvement in church. We gave out prizes. We cleaned up. And then we went to the bay to watch some fireworks at night, on the water, over the city of San Diego.

Saturday, we got up early after not a lot of sleep, got some breakfast, went to the airport, and flew back home. It’s so good to be back, and we’re thankful for the opportunity to serve!

Thursday on our ADVANCE Mission Trip in SD, CA

On Thursday, we woke up late, packed-up to move our stuff to Point Loma Nazarene University to stay for the next couple days…and then we headed to the beach. We took the students to La Jolla Cove and Beach where we saw some sea lions, climbed on the rocks, played some ultimate frisbee, and froze in the water.

We then headed over to Point Loma Nazarene University to get settled in, and then drove over to Coronado Island for our beach-side worship service and testimony time. All 35 students shared what God did through their lives (in the lives of others) and what God did in their own life for the glory of Christ.

Wednesday on our ADVANCE Mission Trip in SD, CA

Wednesday morning, we got back out into the community and canvassed as many more houses as we could. We basically canvassed over 4,000 houses in 3 days…which means somewhere around 15,000 people got a card on the gospel and on CenterPointe Church.

We then headed to the park to get some lunch, and set-up for VBS. It was our last day for VBS, and we had about the same number of students…around 35. That totalled somwhere around 60 different kids for the whole week. We taught the kids that day the importance of living like and for Christ for the rest of their lives. We had a couple of students saved that day.

Wednesday night we went over to Beverly’s (CP’s children’s ministry director) house for some pizza and chill time. The students just broke out into kareoke and had some fun.

Tuesday on our ADVANCE Mission Trip in SD, CA

We got up, ate up, and got out by 10am this morning. We got out to share the word on the best church plant in the Chula Vista area of San Diego…the Centerpointe Church! So our CBSM high school students hit the streets hard for over 2 hours to just pass out tons of fliers for the church and with the gospel. We then went to the park for lunch, and a little chill time. After that, the VBS games began with about 35ish kids which meant all of our students got to disciple their own kid again. Praise God that two more kids were saved today! We made some really good connections at the park with families. It looks like around 100 new people should be visiting and checking out Centerpointe Church within the next month! We’re just praising God that He wants to use us like this for the gory of His Son in His Kingdom! Continue reading ‘Tuesday on our ADVANCE Mission Trip in SD, CA’

Monday on our ADVANCE Mission Trip in SD, CA

Well, call us lazy…but we decided to have a slow morning this morning. We all slept a little late, got a good breakfast, and got out of the hotel at the crack of 10am. We took our kids to walk and climb the hills of the Cali hoods for about 2 1/2 hours. We covered somewhere between 1000 – 1500 houses between the 35 of our students passing out the promo material for the church plant (Centerpointe Church) that we’re serving this week. The church is about 3 weeks old with around 120 in attendance. So even if 1% of people respond to the promo material passed out, then that would mean somewhere around 50 families will visit the church from the 5,000 passed out.

Sunday on our ADVANCE Mission Trip in SD, CA

We got up and out early this morning to help our Centerpointe Church set-up all their stuff to make their church plant a praise-success every Sunday. Chairs, audio equipment, video equipment, tables, instruments, tables, promo stuff, snacks, and more was just some of the stuff they are setting up every Sunday.

Many of our students then went out to the surrounding neighborhoods around the church and handed out fliers and other promo material to invite people to the church that morning…or someday soon.

We then had the opportunity to lead worship (Jason Cunningham and our CBSM band), and I had the opportunity to preach on “How could a good God allow evil?”

After the worship service, we then helped the church tear everything down, and went to the part for our lunch. After lunch, we let the our students play around a lot in the park…when the craziest game of parkour extreme tag broke out among our guys. It was hilarious!

CBSM Weekly Announcements

CBSM students, parents, and small group leaders:
Jesus has been rockin and rollin the summer for CBSM. I’ve been amazed at over 100 students going on mission trips this summer, our Wednesday nights being more highly attended than ever over the summer, and the spiritual growth we are seeing. It is SURELY not about the numbers, but it is about the crowd of people who come to learn more about Him, worship Him, and grow in Him! So praise God CBSM for how He has been using you to reach your friends for Christ!

NETMA is attached for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to check out the Reading Plan for this week. 7.11.10 NETMA (pdf)

Here’s what you need to know for this week…

STORYLINE Wednesday Worship (6:00 – 8:00pm)
This Wednesday, we’ll continue our summer-long series through the book of Psalms with a sermon on “iWorship: on Mission.” This will be all about how we need to continue to stay involved in missions and evangelism even when we are not on trips…but we are here at home still called to reach the world for Christ!
