Sunshine in the Big Sky
This is a video from our trip to Montana this past year. Every year we take students from our South Side ministry in Chicago to the heart of Montana. Our teens experience culture shock,extreme hospitality, and the powerful work of Jesus Christ in his creation. Check out this documentary by our intern Abby Nelson!

God’s Quarterback: Tim Tebow
He’s not the most accuracy of the Nfl‘s Quarterbacks. Hes’ not the cocky jerk that everyone see win games, but one thing he is, is a person who loves Jesus. I’ve been keeping up with Quarterback Tim Tebow since is college career as a Florida Gator. I’m very impressed by this brothers boldness the put his Lord on display, and of course you have to be a fan of a guy who gets Chuck Norris to endorse his book!:) ENJOY this great clip!

From Colossians 3:12-13.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts,kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Father, We have seen again this weekend the destructive power of bitterness, anger, and wrath. It took the life of Dale Fisher, the brother of our sister Brittany. We agonize over this and pray for your comfort for the family and grace for the young people involved — a grace that leads to repentance and life, and stops the killing in our community.
But we also have to ask that you would work this miracle in our own hearts. We are people who have hurts and complaints. . . and we don’t want to let them go. Yet we know, that two things are true about this: one is that if we hold onto our own hurts, complaints, bitterness and anger that it will lead to man’s wrath and destruction. And two, we know that your forgiveness for us, when we reflect on it, has the power to transform our hearts so that we can love not only our neighbors and families and co-workers — but we can even love our enemies. Heal us today Lord.
in Jesus name we ask, believing.
Amen.

Water Changes Everything
I came across this video a while back, and I just can’t get it out of my head. Please look at this video and consider helping this cause, I think It’s worth it. God bless.
It’s so easy to forget how not having clean water to drink can affect ever aspect of a person’s life. Over a BILLION people,aren’t privileged enough to have clean water to drink, while many of us comfortably sip an unhealthy cup of Starbucks. The Lord is so gracious to us, and I just want to express that by being gracious to others. Don’t you?
This Jive Turkay
Ain’t nothing wrong with some good ol’ Mac and Cheese, string beans, yams and Jive Turkay. (keep the chit lings, that’ll dies with my father’s generation) Point Ash’s Jive Turkay MixTape is on the loose and hosted by Chicago’s Power 92.3’s DJ Allstyle. Jive Turkay has a very unique sound, as It really showcases Point Ash’s personality. From hearing Ash’s random laughter, talk about his daughter and wife, and personal struggles, can be assured you’ll get 100% Point Ash. This was really refreshing project for me to be apart of, because I feel that a lot of Christian Hip Hop artist lack in the art of showing their personality. Every artist is not a Paul Washer type Theologian, but that’s the feel I get from most CHH albums. I’m sure you’ll love the lyricism, musically crafting, and solid features on this one, go get Jive Turkay now! Da South
