Quick Update . . .

Hello friends! I just wanted to let you know that I am home after a wonderful time at the Passion4Christ Summit in Ohio!! I learned so much, and enjoyed the fellowship, theme dinners, volleyball, small group Bible studies, and lots more! I will be posting pictures soon, once I get a link from the photographer (may be a couple weeks). On our way home me and my friends had quite the . . . adventure . . . getting stuck in Chicago when our van broke down! But that's a story for another time. :-)

For now, I'm super excited to be getting the house ready for my cousins Lauren and Stephen to spend a couple nights! I'll have lots to update on later! :-)

40 Days For Life

Have you heard of the 40 Days For Life Campaign? If not, I'd urge you to check it out!
http://40daysforlife.com/about.html

It's running this fall from Sept. 25th - Nov. 3rd. So far an estimated 69 babies have been SAVED from abortion! As Christians, it is our duty and responsibility to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. If you don't have the time to actually go to your local abortion clinic to pray, you can fast and pray from home, you can give money to your local crisis pregnancy center, and spread the word about 40 Days for Life! Don't let lack of time stop you - we all need to be doing something to help stop the curse of abortion in our country.

Proverbs 31:8,9

"Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."

Trip to Canada!

This past weekend we traveled north of Winnipeg to visit some friends of ours. We enjoyed going to a Provincial Park and hiking, rappelling, playing volleyball and frisbee, and more! It was a great weekend.  Here are some pictures from our time at the park . . .

The viewing tower overlooking Lake Winnipeg

  

 

Karlen, Ethan, and Lydia watching Caleb rappel.

Clifford rappelling

 

And Caleb decided to rappel upside down!! Yes, my brother is crazy! LOL :-)

 

 

Caleb's shadow . . . looks like there's no rope, eh? ;-)

Delmar rappelling

 

 Mrs. Penner and mom visiting

Darlene throwing the frisbee! She has a beautiful smile! :-)

Climbing along the shoreline

Shooting pictures (and no, that is not my lens that I am using - I wish! lol)

 Back row: Daniel, Clifford, Delmar, Caleb, Lydia, me
Front row: Ethan, Karlen, Darlene

Crazy time!

 

 

Sadly, I didn't get any pictures of us meeting with some other friends at the park in Winnipeg on the way home because we were so busy visiting! Maybe next time. :-) I did get one of this deer as we were pulling out . . .

 

As much as I REALLY enjoyed stepping foot in Canada for the first time, it's nice to be back in the good old USA where we use Fahrenheit and miles per hour on the highway! ;-)

Trip Out West

We just returned home from an amazing trip out to Washington state for my cousin's wedding! She was a GORGEOUS bride, and the wedding was so God-glorifying! We had fun helping out with the decoration of the reception hall. The theme was so incredibly cute!

 

Here's my family at the wedding (Caleb had to stay at his place in Fargo and work, so he couldn't come).

That weekend we also got to visit with our aunt, uncle and cousins - we had a BLAST! I only wish they all lived closer and we could get together more. :-)

The cute couple :)

All of us cousins!
Daniel, me, Sarahanne, Jordan, Katie, Mindy (the bride), Lydia, and Ethan in the front

We enjoyed going to the ocean one day and seeing this old sunken ship.

 

 

 

 

This is the 3rd time I've visited Multnomah Falls in Oregon - so beautiful (and this picture is only the bottom half of the falls)!

On our way home through Montana we stayed at Glacier National Park for a couple days. It is one of the prettiest places I have ever seen! I just LOVE seeing God's marvelous creation.

First time on a paddle board - and the most beautiful lake I've EVER been on!

Yes, the mountain goats were THAT close!

We took a long, hot hike through the beautiful mountains . . .

. . . . crossing streams and seeing pink and yellow wildflowers . . .

 . . . to see Hidden Lake! It is so worth it - and a lot like being a Christian, wouldn't you say? It's not always easy following in Jesus' steps, but it's always worth it!

Evolution vs. God

This documentary by Ray Comfort is well worth the 40 minutes it takes to watch it!

Why We Pray

Recently I've been working on a short film to enter in a contest, and now it is finally finished! I need to have 200 views by Monday evening so please SHARE, SHARE, SHARE! Share on Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, e-mail, or wherever else!  And don't stop at 200 views - we need to encourage as many people as possible to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their faith.

Visit www.persecution.com/pray to see specific weekly prayer requests.

Here are the credits . . . a big thank you to all the wonderful people who helped make this project a reality! I could NOT have done it without you!

GLORY TO GOD ALONE! Thank you Jesus for giving me the opportunity to make this film!

Update from Standing Sun Productions!

Did you see the new trailer for In His Steps yet?  It premiered on our Facebook page on July 27th (another reason to like the page so you don't miss anything!), and has been seen over 500 times as of this writing!  If you haven't seen it yet, you can watch it right here. In other news, we need your help! We've started a campaign on FaithLauncher to raise the funds we need to complete post production on the film.  I've done just about all I can on my own on editing, and now it's time to bring in some fresh talent... like our composer!  David W. Hamilton, who scored In His Steps: The Series, will be returning to write the music for the movie, provided we can get our funding.  The campaign launched on Monday, and we're already at 9% of our goal!  Please visit our FaithLauncher page and donate today!  All donations will be run through Families for Christ Ministries, a 501c3 non-profit, and are tax deductible. And of course, even if you can't donate, please share the campaign with everyone you know and encourage your friends to support the project.  We don't necessarily need large donations, just a lot of small ones! Thank you, Zack Lawrence Standing Sun Productions P.S. Oh, another reason to like our Facebook page: when we get 300 likes, we'll release a new interview with actress Laura Seabrook (Rachel Winslow), 400 likes we'll release an interview with actress Stacey Bradshaw (Loreen), and 500 likes we'll release a never-before seen scene from the movie!
