Here’s a short video that gives an idea of what we did in Thailand with the School of Music in Missions.

While we were in Thailand with the School of Music in Missions from YWAM (Youth With A Mission) we had the opportunity to celebrate Songkron which is the Thai New Year festival. They celebrate by throwing water on anyone and everyone who passes by. This goes on for about three days. We had to be extra careful to pack our phones and cameras in plastic. Since we were foreigners we seemed to be an especially prized target to soak. Check out the video below:

Even on outreach we take a day off once a week. A few weeks ago we spent that day at the Murphy’s farm. Jenny and Sam Murphy are staff at Reef to Outback and we’ve known them for quite a while, so it was nice to see where they grew up. They generously shared with us the things they do for fun such as ‘Paddock Bashing’ and ‘Bonnet Riding’. Check out the video:

This past week has been amazing for our team. We spent the past week in Byron Bay. We did everything from playing down at the beach with free BBQ to sharing the love of Jesus at ‘Mardi Grass’ the local festival to celebrate drugs. Here’s a short video I made:

Last Friday we had the opportunity to worship with 11 YWAM (Youth With A Mission) locations from around the world. The event, called ‘One Voice’ is meant to ‘”bring greater unity in the YWAM family.” Each location had an opportunity to lead out in a song. Sara led one of the songs with Aidan Jones. This was my first time setting up the video conferencing gear, dubbed ‘Genesis’ within YWAM, and it went fairly well. I put together a short 3 minute summary of the 2 hour event. Find out more about the event on the go-genesis website. Check out the video and photos below:

Stable on the Strand is Townsville’s yearly event held down at the local beach. This year was a huge hit with estimates of close to 40,000 coming to the event. Each year a play is put on that represents the true Christmas story. This year ‘The Promise’ took it one step further. Not only did they outline the life of Jesus, they pretty much summed up the bible in about 20 minutes. You can watch it for youself below and see what amazing job they did.

These are the videos that Stephen, Joanna and myself worked on for the Voice in the Dark Tour that Sara went on. The tour was mainly geared toward school kids showing them that there are injustices happening in the world and that they could do something about it. These videos were shown during the concert.
