Game Day - August 15, 2010
Today was a great day! Lots and lots of kids…lots and lots of parents…lots and lots of volunteers. God brought a lot of people through our doors.

Last week was a crazy week. It was the last week to get all of the details of promotion finalized. It was a week of massive communication to everyone. It was a week of deadlines. We were ending our summer programming with bang. We are finishing projects so that we can launch the fall in style. And [...]

14. June 2010
Every summer we get away from the normal routine of the office and spend time looking farther ahead, dreaming for the future, planning, and having fun together. When we are in the office, it is easy for us to be caught up in the “Sunday’s coming” mentality. We know that we need to step [...]

About 4-6 weeks before any conference is crunch time for all complicated projects, books, CDs, and DVDs that need to go to production for the conference.

Guest starring…Goliath! Unforgettable - that’s our goal for any UpStreet Bible story. How can we capture the kids’ attention so they’ll always remember God’s Word? How can we make it come alive before their eyes? More specifically, how can we present a bottom line that will stick in their minds as they face life’s challenges? Simply [...]

3. March 2010
You can get involved and make a difference. Find out how! While I was in South Africa I met a couple of real life heroes. They would never call themselves heroes – but they are. They are people that you will probably never meet in person and will never hear about on the evening news. You won’t see [...]

2. March 2010
Are you paying attention to your blind spots? A few weeks ago I got a chance to talk with a staff team about their individual strengths and how those strengths work together to create their overall team dynamics.
