a few weeks back we had a "journey day" with jim crumbley from c3 atlanta. our staff, team, and key leaders in our church all showed up at sunny mission bay park for a day that they will soon not forget! the mantra for this day was "one vision, one focus, one heart" and every single person played a key role in every activity and role-playing scenario. from moving a massive pile of cinder blocks to passing tires from person to person in a race pitting one team against the other, every exercise and activity instilled a stronger sense of leadership, team-building, and passion for God's house!

we were so thankful to have jim with us and we can't wait until he comes again for our next "journey day" in 2010! for all you men out there, jim will be with us for our emerge conference EMPOWER at pali mountian coming up in march. check out the online promo video for it, and stay tuned for more info and when to register!!!

the "amazing andeeno" getting his flex on and powering up for a massive day!

this little exercise was all about communication and strategy....or as some called it, "how-many-people-can-touch-john-day's-butt"

moving cinder blocks is HARD!!!

...making a cinder block bridge is even harder!!!

BOOM!!! mission accomplished

we ended the day a little soggier than usual, but everyone that came out had a blast and learned more about themselves, each other, and the vision of our church!!! OOOOHRAAAAHHH!!!
