Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1 NIV

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. NLT

Technical difficulties...

Hi,

I know I promised to upload the videos from HOPE performance. However, just like Ejay and some of us who has tried to upload videos.. I also couldn't. I think it's the blogger itself. So for some of you who's interested to see it.. I have them up on my facebook account for you to see. Great job teens! and Ejay and all who put it together!! Thank You all!

See ya!

Hi, I'm Michael Wang

Hi All, For work I had to write a little bio about where I'm from and where I grew up. I copied it below so that you guys can learn a little bit about my past, in case you don't know. This is Mike Wang by the way. Here's the excerpt below:

I was born in Chicago, IL. on a fine summer morning. I lived in Chicago for five years, during which I gained an appreciation for winter snowfall, piano, and birthday splurging. After Chicago, I lived eight years in an international community in Saudi Arabia and grew in my understanding of many foreign cultures and learned to find joy in the simple things of life, like star gazing on the desert dunes, wandering the streets looking for mischief, and the juiciness of a properly made shawarma. After my stay in Saudi, I found myself back in the US; I attended Arcadia High School and went on to complete my BS.EE and MS.EE Degrees at USC. Since my move, I’ve come to call California my home and could not imagine life without the friends or memories that I’ve made here.

Great Job

I just wanted to say that those of you who performed at the LA Day on HOPE did a great job. You guys will have to do it again. Maybe you can do it at the Youth Rally for the entire Teen Ministry in March. Lastly, where are the posts? No Christmas, New Years updates or nothing. What happened w/pictures from the Winter Bash or the performance yesterday?

WINTER BAAAAASH

SUP YA'LL>....HERE'S WHAT U BROUGHT TO THIS YEARS BASH!!!>..ENJOY!!!

Was up Teen Ministry !
So if you guys have been living under a rock and dont know about my new dating relationship now you do. lol.
I asked my best friend Elice Estrada to be my girlfriend on Jan the 3rd. Elice is a faithful Christian in the west campus ministry. She was babtized in the teen ministry in Ventura when she was 14 so she definitely knows all the struggles of being a Christian in High School.
So if you guys see a tall beautiful woman next to me please come and let me introduce you to her she is excited in meeting all of you.
Peace!
The law of the Lord is perfect , reviving the soul. The statues of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure enduring forever. The ordinance of the Lord are sure altogether righteous. They are more precious that gold , than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Amen!
