Sharks and Sermons


This past weekend I got to spend 3 full days with my family on a fishing and scalloping trip at Crystal River. It was a blast, I had so much fun. We didn't catch much fish (except for small catfish) but it was such a great getaway with my family, I loved every minute of it. I did happen to catch a small hammerhead shark, probably about 3 feet long. That was Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Then on Sunday I was given the opportunity to speak during all three of our adult worship services. Pastor Rodney is on vacation and I loved sharing what God placed on my heart regarding how to be friends with God. We are in the middle of a series called Wired for Worship. I wont go into detail about what I spoke on but I was thrilled to have the opportunity. Thank you to all of you that were praying for me this weekend, your prayers were felt, and I believe God impacted some lives today. Remember we must show reverence for our Holy God but at the same time He did and does all He does just to be friends with us. He gave up everything to be our friends will we do the same. I'm out, DA

Simply Amazing!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! What a week. What an amazing week. We just ended our Adventure Week called ZOOPLOSION. It was a week long 3 hour a day jam packed mini camp type event held at our church. We had an am 9-noon and a pm 6-9 session and God showed up in huge ways. We had over 160 volunteers, 525 students participated, and 114 made 1st time decisions to follow Jesus Christ. We had many more stand up to comitt their life to Christ but after meeting with counselors we were able to confidently say that 114 of them understood and were ready to begin a relationship with Christ. Simply Amazing. You can visit www.fokidsonline.com for pics and stories that took place all week. Thank you all who prayed for us. DA

Night Of Prayer




To get ready for our BIG ZOOPLOSION week next week we held a nigh of prayer last night. It was simply a two hour time period for families or individuals to come and pray at various prayer stations. The stations ranged from pray for kids far from Jesus to pray for brokenness inside homes. All in all it was a wonderful night of connecting with my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. I had to show these pics because i thought they were so great. #1 is TJ and my daughter Callie Joy praying. #2 is hilarious. 3 seconds earlier all three had there eyes closed and head bowed. Right when the camera went off Jacob couldn't resist smiling for the camera. Callie Joy began to pout because "it was her turn to pray" and riley kept on praying. Classic. #3 Riley praying for "kids that don't know Jesus to come because he likes them". Good night with my family, good night with friends, good night with God, can't beat it. dustin

Launching FOkids!


The past several days I have been working on launching a blogsite for our children's ministry, FOkids. Well it still has some work to be done on it but here it is. http://fokids.wordpress.com/ We are in the process of purchasing our own url name, but until then here it is. I wanted to get this ready to roll before our Adventure Week where we are predicting 400-500 kids. I didn't want to miss out on such a critical time to get connected with so many new families and kids. When it comes to blogs and websites I am just a rookie so if you have any suggestions or thoughts I am open. Oh and if anyone knows how to post a youtube video on a blog, holla at me.
