Church Juice is celebrating five years of rewarding communications awesomeness with five Juicys Awards.

As a project of ReFrame Media, Church Juice, believes it's time for churches to be intentional about how they communicate with their community. Whether it's website development, social media strategies, marketing, or branding, Church Juice is here to help energize your church communications with free online resources, consulting, and in person training. It's our way to serve churches like yours by providing expertise in the key area of communications.

Five years ago, Church Juice started The Juicys as a way to reward churches demonstrating great vision for effectively using communications tools to reach their congregations and surrounding communities. In 2014, we awarded $8000 to churches that demonstrated excellence, to go toward their next communications initiatives. This year, Church Juice again awarded multiple $2000 grants.

First Presbyterian Church, Douglasville, GA. Guiding a church through denominational change is daunting. What could be a decisive decision was actually a time of unity at First Presbyterian Church thanks to a strategic communications plan focusing on togetherness.

Memorial Presbyterian Church, Midland, MI. The monthly newsletter at Memorial Presbyterian Church was losing steam and effectiveness. Yet MPC knew from surveying data that members still wanted print communication. That led to the creation of a new magazine written by church and community members that better links the congregation with its neighbors.

Gashland Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Kansas City, MO. Meaningfully connecting congregations with the missionaries they support around the world can be tough. Gashland Evangelical Presbyterian Church built a mission lobby using a mix of traditional and digital media that has led to increased awareness, higher levels of giving and a better sense of community.

Heyward Street Church, Columbia, SC. Heyward Street Church is proof that good branding done with intentional planning isn't something just reserved for large churches. This church of 50 went from a generic, denomination based logo to one that better shares their community focused vision.

Fairborn UMC, Fairborn, OH. Posting to social media channels can often become a task that's done whenever there's a little bit of extra time. Fairborn UMC decided to ditch that inconsistent approach to be more intentional in reaching their congregation and community.

The Christmas season just gets busier every year. Decorating, shopping, cooking, wrapping, visiting, giving, and receiving often pressure us to create moments that are meant to be perfect. They also overshadow the fact that Jesus Christ is the true focus of Christmas. The busyness can place way more emphasis on the secular aspects of Christmas than on the sacred. However, the tradition of Advent can help you enjoy a calmer Christma, and prepare your heart to celebrate Christ's coming and to anticipate His return.

This year, Advent begins November 29. This season, we've designed a special Advent devotional series, Waiting In Expectation, to help you take time out for the true meaning of the Christmas season, the coming Christ.

Daily devotions from Today Daily Devotional, encouragement from Family Fire, in depth Bible study at Groundwork, and of course, fun at Kids Corner, all come together to help you draw near to God this Christmas.

July brings the fifth anniversary of our marriage and relationships ministry, Family Fire. It began with a question, "How can we care for marriages and families where people are already spending their time online?" It launched in July 2010 as a Facebook page to encourage families in being fueled by the Holy Spirit. Steven and Deb Koster, the editorial team for Family Fire, recognized that Facebook could itself be a ministry field, and developed content that connected well with social media users. "Our first posts went out to a little crowd of around 30 people," shares Deb. "Today, 34,000 people follow our Facebook page, we get hundreds of prayer requests, and we minister to people all over the world."

Long before Family Fire hit the streets, the Kosters were leading marriage-enrichment seminars in local churches. "We've long had a ministry goal of supporting families spiritually as the foundation of people's lives and personal ministries," notes Deb. When Steven became Director of ReFrame Media, Bob Heerspink, the late Director of Back to God Ministries International, encouraged the couple to pursue their ministry to families using media. Family Fire's Facebook page expanded rapidly on the rising swell of social media, connecting with people in real time. They also launched a website as a deeper resource for information, encouragement, and advice about the spiritual, emotional, and physical facets of our most fundamental relationships. Articles and devotions, from a diversity of authors, offer unique perspectives in family ministry: a focus on God's sovereignty in every aspect of life.

As Family Fire grew, Steven and Deb also began traveling the country to lead marriage and parenting seminars in partnership with local congregations. Churches plan the events and the Kosters provide the teaching, and everyone involved is encouraged. The message is the same as it is online: we never struggle alone in our most intimate relationships; God's Spirit gives us power to love, persevere, and build up. These retreats have become another way that Family Fire is giving back to the churches. Deb notes, "We love the opportunities to let the scripture speak into how we live life together." Steven also commented, "Marriages and families are the essential building blocks of healthy churches and communities. We want to play a part in building Christ-centered homes."

ReFrame Media receives thousands of prayer requests each year from all over the globe, which we distribute to more than 1,200 prayer team members. Some of the most urgent and heart-rending are those that come through Family Fire, because they pertain to the most intimate places where brokenness can produce the most intense suffering. In many cases, Deb reaches out personally. "It's humbling to be invited to grieve with someone who is trying desperately to regain custody of her kids. Or to help someone make sense of the suffering that his family is going through. I have answered questions about dating and about parenting from all over the world. I have emailed with spouses whose marriages are falling apart, and with desperate parents whose kids are walking away from faith." She points out that many people in the Facebook community respond in prayer when they see the stories shared by other readers. "I personally love seeing them commenting on each other's prayer requests and praying for each other!"

A new Family Fire website will soon launch the ministry into its next season. Faster, responsive, and better organized, the site will put the resources that set Family Fire apart at readers' literal fingertips. Readers can also subscribe to receive email updates whenever a new article or devotion is posted to the website. We thank God for His calling on this ministry over the last five years and for the fruit His Spirit has borne for His people all over the world.

When you write a script for Kids Corner not only must you develop a substantive, biblically-based message that shows kids their part in God's Big Picture, you've got to wrap that message up in story that's clever, entertaining, compelling, humorous, and above all else, fun. That requires a great deal of imagination and talent. During a recent KC writers summit, the talent in the room almost breached the levee. ReFrame Media brought KC writers, voice actors, and production engineers all together for the first time. The purpose of the summit? For writers, new and old, to gather together to meet the larger KC team and brainstorm ideas for next season's Kids Corner episodes.

"God's got a plan," says senior producer, Ron Vandenburg. "One of our recent goals was to find new writers who could bring some experience and a new energy to the show. Our friends from Keys for Kids suggested John Fornof, who is a very experienced writer and producer, having worked in both television and radio." John has written, produced, and directed projects like The Extraordinary Adventures of G.A. Henty, The Red Rock Mysteries with Chris Fabry, Down Gilead Lane for CBH ministries, and Adventures in Odyssey the popular radio drama from Focus on the Family.

"In turn, John recommended Kathy Buchanan," Ron continues. Kathy loves teaching about the unique story God writes in each one of us. She's written dozens of Adventures in Odyssey episodes, six novels for children and teens, a teen devotional, and three nonfiction books for pre-teen girls on the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of growing up. At the summit, Ron introduced John and Kathy to longtime KC writers Jim Jordan and Josh DeGroot, and principal voice actors, Aimee Lilly, who plays the show's main character, Liz, and Kris Jousma, the voice of Liz's friend, Lucille. "It was a great experience for everyone to meet each other," shares Ron. "Together, the writers, actors, engineers, came to share their ministry visions for KC."

Great story idea after great story idea poured forth as the writers pitched narrative and teaching concepts. Constructive brainstorming resulted in even stronger storylines. As senior producer, Ron challenged the writers to go deeper with story; great storytelling is the main tool for teaching spiritual truth at Kids Corner. He shared with the team a foundational structure that will undergird every new KC episode: what it truly looks like to be a disciple of Jesus. Inspired by the work of Doug Monsma and a team of educators from the Prairie Centre for Christian Education, Ron identified to the group certain discipleship characteristics called "through-lines" that provide a common language to define what it means to be Christian. "Think of them as photographs," describes Ron, "that show biblical Christian qualities such as God-worshiping, servant-working, justice-seeking, idolatry-discerning, and image-reflecting." These concepts resonated right-away with the writers and cast. "We will tell stories where children can explore what it means to be a disciple of Christ, that God is the God of all things, that sin has made things broken, but God fixes things through Jesus, and He's called us to be witnesses!"

Ron and his team anticipate a series of outstanding new KC episodes this fall. With such a deep well of talented writers, actors, and production crew, and built on solid, biblical rock, these episodes might be some of the best the show has ever produced. "Don't miss them!" exclaims Ron.

We're proud to announce that the National Religious Broadcasters honored our parent ministry, Back to God Ministries International, at its annual convention with the NRB Milestone Award recognizing 75 Years of ministry proclaiming the gospel and strengthening the church. NRB presents awards to individuals, businesses, and ministries that served God's kingdom through media for more than 50 years.

Congratulations also to our sister ministry, Ministerio Reforma, the Spanish ministry of BTGMI, for receiving its own Milestone Award for 50 years of ministry to Spanish-speakers worldwide.

Since Back to God Ministries started 75 years ago, our mission has been to proclaim the Gospel, to disciple those who want to follow Jesus, and to strengthen the church.

As the English language ministry of BTGMI, ReFrame Media is actually the oldest part of the ministry. Our ministry started as a single broadcast from Chicago, IL in 1939 called The Back to God Hour. As the evangelical potential of radio quickly became clearer, that single outreach grew into a multimedia, multi-language international ministry, aimed at reaching people at various stages of faith, helping them recognize Jesus as Lord and Savior. Today we produce programming in ten major world languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, and English.

Seventy-five years have seen countless changes in how we proclaim the Word of God around the world. The Gospel, of course, remains unchanged, but the media tools we use to share it have changed significantly. We now reach people in many more ways, and we can reach them in even the most remote and closed places in the world.

What started as radio outreach, developed into print, television, internet, social media, and smart phone—using every kind of media, enabling us to reach millions of people. As we look back over 75 years, we are grateful for God's faithfulness. He has given us so many opportunities to share God's love and to see people come to faith in Christ.

As we look forward in ministry, we don't know what advancements lay ahead in media. But we do know this: we want to be there for people, and to be able to meet them, old or young, close to God or just beginning to seek answers to life, wherever they might be. The Gospel is unchanging, but we're committed to using current media, in whatever modes that may develop, to proclaim that Jesus is Lord, to encourage disciples to grow, and to strengthen God's church.

As Back to God Ministries International celebrates 75 years of telling God's story this December, we remember the radio stations that have partnered with us over the decades to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.

One of those partners is also celebrating a significant anniversary: This month, December 2014, WMPC 1230AM in Lapeer, MI turns 88 years old.

At 88 years, WMPC is the longest continuously operating Christian radio station in the United States.

WMPC broadcast its first message of hope on December 6, 1926 over a homemade four-tube, 5-50 watt transmitter powered by a storage battery and a series of "B" batteries (yes, they existed). The original antenna included bicycle rims in the design.

"Rev. Frank Hemingway, who built the transmitter and antenna at the church he pastored, thought radio would be a great way to share the Gospel, especially to shut-ins," says station manager, Ed LeVoir. "He purchased a book titled The Complete Radio Handbook from an encyclopedia salesman and got started." Throughout its long history, the station has had just four managers. Rev. Hemingway managed the station from 1926 until his death in 1964.

As partners in the Gospel, BTGMI and WMPC go way back...but nobody knows just how far back they go. LeVoir even check with Arnold Bracy, the station's second manager. Bracy only recalls that the station carried The Back to God Hour well before his tenure as manager began in 1965.

Today, the station airs two programs each week produced by ReFrame Media: Groundwork, (the successor to The Back to God Hour) a half hour Bible teaching discussion, and Kids Corner, a zany radio adventure for children that helps them see the big picture of God's Word.

As one might imagine, 88 years of broadcasting Christ's message of hope has borne immense fruit. There are countless testimonies of people meeting Jesus through the station's work. There's the wife who started going to church when a song on WMPC caught her ear. Soon she trusted Christ as her Savior. Then there's her husband who would drive her to church each week, but wouldn't go in—yet, he too met Jesus listening to the service broadcast in his car! And more recently: A homeless teen responded to a pamphlet from a WMPC volunteer, started attending a Bible study, gave his life to Christ, and went home to his parents.

In the course of its history, WMPC has faced numerous obstacles and threats to its continued operation. The station has overcome attempts to take over its frequency, weathered denominational politics that jeopardized the station's local programming and control, and survived the crippling staffing issues brought on by the outbreak of World War II. Over and over again, God answered prayer and provided for each exigency at just the right moment to keep the station working.

Back in 1926, while Rev. Hemingway was building the new station, a neighbor asked what type of programming would the station offer. Hemingway responded that there would be scripture reading, Bible teaching, and Gospel music. "You're going to run out of material," the neighbor quipped, "and won't be around very long."

Well, 88 years later—after decades of bearing fruit for God's Kingdom, persevering through countless challenges, and becoming a local institution, as well as a veritable case study for continuously changing radio technologies—WMPC is still in no danger of running out of material. God's Word is a deep well for radio content that will never run dry.

Thanks to faithful support of Back to God Ministries and ReFrame Media, we are able to provide great programs to partner with this oldest Christian radio station in the United States!

The Spanish team at Back to God Ministries International has been hard at work creating a new program for children in Latin America.

Las Aventuras de Elisardo (Elisardo's Adventures) is based on the successful English Kids Corner, an audio program produced by ReFrame Media, the English outreach of BTGMI. Kids Corner uses entertaining, relevant stories to help children understand the Bible, trust God, and love and serve others.

"Parents are always asking us 'why don't you have a children's program?'" says Guillermo Serrano, Back to God's Spanish ministry leader.

"Las Aventuras de Elisardo is written to share the gospel with kids ages 6-9, but is also engaging for the rest of the family."

Even though programming for children is important, most ministries in Latin America are dropping this opportunity. However, radio stations that air Back to God's adult programs are still searching for programs that reach children. And parents are searching for high quality programs, too.

Las Aventuras de Elisardo made its debut in August at the International Latin American Communicator Conference in Colombia. Positive feedback and excitement from attendees encouraged the team to dive into further production.

"To translate the Kids Corner scripts is just the beginning," says Serrano. "We invited the best voices, adapted the original script to suit the Spanish language and culture, and coordinated with technical staff to record and edit the episodes."

"Kids Corner has been telling important Biblical truths wrapped in fun adventures for a decade," exclaims Ron VandenBurg, Senior Producer of Children's Ministry at ReFrame. "How wonderful that a new creative team is taking these quality scripts and reinventing them in Spanish for all whole new exciting audience! It's an answer to prayer and an inspiration for other language groups to use our KC resources. We would love a Pentecost moment where God is using Kids Corner to spread the gospel in diverse languages to families around the world."

In the coming months, Back to God Ministries Spanish outreach will be recruiting radio stations in both North and Latin America to put this new children's program on the air.

Church Juice just revealed the four churches who received the 2014 Juicys grants. This year, both first place awards go to churches in Texas: Harris Creek Baptist Church in McGregor, TX (large church winner) and Resurrection Houston (small church winner).

Knox-Met United Church in Regina, Saskatchewan received the small church runner-up award and Broadway Church in Vancouver, British Columbia the large church runner-up award.

"The Juicys are a way to recognize and reward those churches who've worked to improve their church communications during the last year," explains Church Juice senior producer Jerod Clark. "It includes giving these congregations a grant to jump start their next project."

Church Juice is a free resource from ReFrame Media energized to help churches communicate better.

For Harris Creek, multimedia experiences aren't just around because they're trendy. They are a vital way to reach their congregation through a medium they understand. They reimagined what an annual report could be in helping the congregation of 900 see the true work being done. The church launched an interactive website with videos, images and easy to read stats that showed the impact the church had over the last year.

Overall, the Juicys judges were impressed with how engaging the site was and how it could also serve as a way to easily show a new person how the church was moving in their community.

One judge commented, "Instead of something that gets shuffled away in your pile of unread mail, Harris Creek made their annual report an entertaining and engaging experience. This project is a great example of communicating important information in a fresh way."

The Juicys award in the smaller church category went to Resurrection Houston. "If you look at the communications work the church is doing, you'd probably never guess it's a church of 100 people," observed Clark. "The growing urban church plant was intentional about creating a look and feel that not only represented who they are, but also made them ready to relevantly connect with their community."

Now, with a $2000 Juicys grant, Resurrection is ready to build on their communications success.

"The next big idea is to empower our missional communities to reclaim discipleship in the hands of ordinary people in the hands of an extraordinary God," explains Resurrection's creative director David Dawkins. "This will be done through a series of photo essays, mini docs, and audio recordings done in the heart-language of the people, managed primarily through a monthly publication called 'Welcome to Resurrection Houston.'"

If your church missed out on the opportunity to improve its media ministry, start planning now for next year's Juicys! "Show us the cool projects you've done and we'll fund your next big idea," says Clark.

Under the Radar highlights some of the best undiscovered and under-appreciated tunes from Christian artists.

This week, they teamed up with the Gospel Music Association (GMA) to bring some of these hidden gems center stage in downtown Nashville.

On Wednesday, Oct. 8, Under the Radar hosted the First Annual Under the Radar Showcase at the legendary music venue The Rutledge.

Performers included JJ Heller, Andrew Peterson, Cindy Morgan, Christa Wells, Andrew Osenga, The Gray Havens, Nicole Witt, and Andrew Greer.

Due to an overwhelming response, the event officially sold out.

"I met with the GMA last fall to begin the conversation and build some bridges on our common desire to champion music that glorifies God," says Dave Trout, Under the Radar's Senior Producer.

"We have continued the dialog throughout the last year, and one of the things that birthed from this was a new official GMA showcase event during Dove Award week, built and organized by UTR.

"We're hoping for an eclectic audience of local indie music fans, out-of-towners traveling to the Doves, and a wide array of VIPs," says Trout.

"Because our ministry is mostly online, this event gives us one more opportunity to meet people face to face, to foster a sense of community."

Under the Radar, a program from Reframe Media, focuses on the best music just beneath the surface. Over the years they've featured songs, interviews, and live performances from hundreds of artists who deserve a closer listen.

It isn't often that a family of six can agree on something to listen to in the car. Something fun for the little ones, educational for pre-teens, and yet still entertaining for the parents… all with a Christian message. Is there such a thing?

Sheree Mann found the answer in a little lizard named Lizardo.

"We've been listening to Kids Corner for so long, I don't even remember how we found you!" says Sheree. She and her husband are missionaries with CrossWay International. As a missionary family, the Manns spend a lot of time on the road, speaking at churches and conferences, and raising support for work they do internationally.

Kids Corner is produced by ReFrame Media. Each week on Kids Corner, Lizardo (Liz) and his friends go on new adventures, sometimes getting themselves into trouble.

"I download all the Kids Corner episodes beforehand," explains Sheree. "We listen any time of day that we are traveling in our Suburban. Or sometimes while the kids eat lunch, we'll listen to the current episode on my computer."

The stories entertain and help children make godly choices, trust God, and love and serve others.

"There is so little available for kids today that is of any worth," says Sheree. "But with Kids Corner, I don't have to preview each episode in order to make sure it is acceptable—I can just let the kids listen and know that they will get sound doctrine and real life application packaged up neatly in a truly fun show."

"My nine-year-old daughter has an iPod with a few episodes on it," she continues. "Her favorite episodes are 'Tommy Two-toed' and the 'Disoriented Express.' She basically has them memorized."

"My kids love it, and I enjoy it just as much as they do."

Visit us at kidscorner.net and hear what Liz and the gang are up to each week. The children in your life are sure to enjoy them too!

I can honestly tell you that Escape to the Lake 2014 was THE top highlight of my professional career. It was beautiful to see God at work through the artists, speakers, nature, and the incredible community that gathered for our 2nd annual gourmet music retreat. We convened July 2-5 at the historic and scenic Conference Point Center (a ministry of Lake Geneva Camps & Conferences) on the shores of Geneva Lake in Wisconsin.

This year was much closer to what our original vision was for the event. With registrants, children, artists, and volunteers totaling around 300 people, we struck a good balance between critical mass and intentional intimacy. We offered a schedule full of devotions, unplugged performances, family-friendly fun, discussion panels, and nightly concerts - but we aimed for the atmosphere to remain casual and relaxed. If folks wanted to skip a session to soak in nature or to extend a conversation with a new friend, we encouraged that. The result was something organic and beautiful, and not something orchestrated or pre-meditated.

I've talked with some attendees who admitted to having a deer-in-the-headlights moment when they were first asked, "What was Escape to the Lake like?" It's many things, and then more than those things. To help offer some clarity, my static "professional" answer would be that it's a unique summer camp retreat for folks who have respect for well-crafted music. This year, campers were able to enjoy performances with - but also roast s'mores with and have personal conversations with - Sara Groves, Jason Gray, Burlap To Cashmere, Waterdeep, Julie Lee, Justin McRoberts, Giants & Pilgrims, Micah Dalton, The Gray Havens, Eric Peters, Sarah Masen, Mercy Child, Nick Flora, Caroline Cobb, and a half dozen other artists.

The number one thing I walk away from ETTL is a heart full of gratitude. God's goodness was on full display. Seeing all the puzzle pieces come together after many months of planning and prepping filled me to the brim with joy. My first "thank you" is for my friend Christiaan Snedeker, who is one of the directors at CPC and my partner-in-crime in all stages of this event. He and his team did a fantastic job preparing the grounds and offering hospitality to every attendee. I'm also so grateful for the volunteers, staff, artists, and speakers who helped things to flow seamlessly. While each family and individual was experiencing fun and inspiring moments, I intimately knew how much work was happening behind the scenes to make it all happen - and I am overjoyed for all the sacrificial giving of these folks. I am also so thankful for the attendees who over-spent on artist merchandise, sponsored a Food for the Hungry child, or are finding ways to offer their living rooms or churches for a future venue for ETTL artists. That kind of patronage is exactly what I dreamed would happen at ETTL!

What were my personal highlights? There are too many to count, but here's a few that jump to the front of my mind. We experienced our first rain-out and forced indoor concert, which turned out to be spectacular and magical - topped off with an amazing and beautiful performance by Sara Groves. I will always remember the Burlap to Cashmere performance as one of the best live sets I have ever seen. And speaking of, BTC was supposed to bail all day on Friday to get away from people and enjoy their only off day for their 2-week tour. Instead, they found the environment of ETTL so relaxing and inviting that the band stayed on-site the entire day (which spoke volumes to me). I loved seeing my wife share a meal with Caroline Cobb (that's my inner mommy matchmaker speaking). The talks that Justin McRoberts gave really spoke deeply to me. Part of our vision was to see unscheduled organic moments occur, and I heard and witnessed a bunch of those - from new artist relationships to songwriter meet-ups to singing around the campfire to conversations over meals - a bouquet of 'beautiful.'

Don't just take my words for it. Here are some comments from attendees and artists.

* "The entire time was phenomenal! I was blown away by this community of music lovers and artists - and the way God moved in our midst." - Mary S. (attendee)

* "Escape To The Lake was collectively our favorite gig in the band's entire career." - Steven Delopoulos of Burlap to Cashmere (artist)

* "I loved the atmosphere here - not only the absolutely beautiful grounds, but the spirit of all the staff, artists, and attendees." - Kristen K. (attendee)

* "We had a great time! My favorite part by far was staying in a 'dorm' with other artists. We stayed up talking to Don, Lori, Dave and Licia until 3am! My Ruby finally got to meet Ruby Chaffer, and they hit it off in a matter of minutes. I loved the game show & the live UTR interview. It's a beautiful location, and a really beautiful idea. Thank you for pouring so much time and energy into this!" - Sara Groves (artist)

* "I was surprised by the true interactions with the artists and the new friendships that were made. I loved seeing the artists interacting with other artists and music appreciators." - Rick S. (attendee)

* "I loved all the live music at ETTL - even the Artist on the Rise Showcase and the open mic session. But what I'll always remember is a conversation with Tim Coons that challenged and inspired me. It was life-changing." - Donna R. (attendee)

* "We loved playing our live set at ETTL! The audience was fantastic. Our housing was a great, organic environment for conversations, spontaneous podcasts, and hangouts. We felt valued even though we weren't a headliner. The camp itself is beautiful - absolutely loved the vibe." - The Gray Havens (artist)

Fifteen-year-old Kacie grew up in a Christian family who loves to travel and experience different cultures. But it wasn't until a year ago that she publicly committed her life to the Lord, and looked for ways to grow in faith. Kacie celebrated the one-year anniversary of her commitment to Christ by completing the Kids Corner Bible study correspondence course.

Kacie shared some of her life journey that led to her commitment to Christ.

Living in a remote jungle village of Bolivia has been one of the most interesting experiences of Kacie's life. When she was 12 her family travelled for 100 days, driving 8,000 miles through 11 countries to experience different cultures, languages, and cities along the way.

"I really wanted to go on this trip," says Kacie. "It sounded like such a wonderful adventure."

The family's journey included traveling through Mexican villages, crossing a dangerous ocean bay in a small sailboat, and driving over a narrow mountain "death road" to arrive in the jungle village where they spent the next year.

Kacie's family loved the slow-paced lifestyle and stayed in Bolivia for a year. They later moved to a woodsy homestead in northern Michigan. Here Kacie discovered Kids Corner through HisKids.net—a partner of ReFrame Media.

Kacie was especially excited to discover the Kids Corner Bible study correspondence course. "I love to study God's Word, and the Bible study gives interesting questions and themes," she says. "The course helped me search in His Word to learn and grow closer to God."

Kacie added, "I appreciated that Kids Corner was so faithful to send me these studies. Since we don't have a church right now, they really filled a void and gave me a goal and direction to study my Bible."

This helped Kacie make a public commitment to the Lord. "I have always loved the Lord, and I felt like He wanted me to take the step of outwardly acknowledging I am His follower."

Kacie's mom describes her as "the cheeriest person in our home" and adds, "She is very sensitive to issues of the heart, like being in communion with God."

Kacie went through a "dry spell" in her faith, but because she followed her parent's advice to stay in the Word, she says she was able to stay in relationship with God. That's a major goal of the Kids Corner ministry: to ignite children's interest in the Bible, and disciple them as life-long followers of Jesus.

Kacie also wants to share her faith with others. She loves to snow ski, so when she is out on the hills with friends, she says, "I try to be a testimony for Jesus by my conduct and conversation. And I recently decided to put Bible verse stickers on my helmet as a way to visibly share my faith in God."

Dave Trout is excited. He's thrilled. He's humbled and thankful, too. Escape to the Lake 2014, July 2-5, 2014, the sophomore music festival getaway on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, is shaping up beyond all expectations. Brought by Under the Radar in partnership with Lake Geneva Camps and Conferences, ETTL 2014 will feature critically-acclaimed artists Sara Groves, Burlap to Cashmere, Jason Gray, Waterdeep, and over a dozen other artists. After selling out in just five weeks, organizers added 40 new registrations. As of this posting, there are just a handful of registrations left available.

Escape to the Lake is part music fest, part summer camp, part family retreat, part music conference, and part relaxing vacation. "Our vision is to have a place where folks who appreciate well-crafted 'gourmet' music can unite for a time to share creativity, make new friends, laugh, have fun, and connect with God in an authentic way," says Trout. "We want each person leaving ETTL to feel refreshed and inspired."

At last year's event, attendees saw God working through the beauty of nature. "God moments were not just a part of the retreat, but it was a sacred experience as we all found God present in the beauty of creation," recalls Trout. Along with musical activities, Escape to the Lake includes fishing, tubing, hiking, and other outdoor family activities.

"Some people encounter God through art and music," says Trout. "Others might be edified through Biblical teaching, good community, and the beauty of nature. Our hope is for everyone to have an opportunity for connection with God."

Dave Trout is energized. This second annual ETTL event is shaping up to be something very, very special. If you're looking for a God-centered vacation this summer, there are still some open registrations. Visit EscapeToTheLake.net right away to reserve our spot. Night only passes for the evening concerts are also on sale now.

Sussex, New Jersey is a hard-working community. Many farmers, tradesmen, and business owners usually see more than just a five-day work week! Yet they know marriage takes work too.

So Sussex Christian Reformed Church partnered with ReFrame Media's Family Fire team, Steven and Deb Koster, to host a marriage conference for the church and its neighbors on March 22, 2014.

"We are excited to see how God is working in that community," reflected Deb following the seminar. "We had tremendous feedback from those who attended the workshop."

One couple noted, "We appreciated the good mix of personal examples with information, especially the sense throughout that Scripture and God are central."

Others liked the humor and interaction between Steven and Deb as husband and wife, especially the practical applications of how to improve their own marriages. "They give down to earth, realistic examples of life illustrations, showing us how to stay connected with your spouse."

Steven commented on the anxiety that people feel coming to an event, "Some people are unnerved by the idea of discussing their marriages around others, so we share our own stories of our mistakes and learning along the way."

Deb added, "Looking deeper into our relationships can feel intimidating, so couples are relieved when we have fun and they find the only deeper sharing is with their spouse."

Yet Steven and Deb don't shy away from difficult topics. They have found that people appreciate honesty about the challenges that marriages face. "It is important to share what the Bible has to say about all aspects of our relationships, even the painful stuff like infidelity or abuse. Christians need to be reminded that God cares about how we live in relationships."

The Kosters provide handouts that help the couples assess their strengths, issues, and differences. These can be used as homework, but time is also provided during the seminar for private conversations between the spouses. "It wasn't intimidating," someone commented. "And I appreciated the homework. It's a good way to get discussions started."

Many marriage seminars are excellent, but cost-prohibitive. The church worked with their council to make the conference free and accessible to participants. Delightful catering and donations from many generous supporters gave those who attended a wonderful experience. Several said that having a free event was an important factor in their ability to attend the workshop. But others said they would have come even if they'd had to pay for this workshop.

Deb shares, "We feel so blessed to have these unique opportunities to share God's truths from scripture concerning how we keep the Spirit's fire stoked in our relationships!"

If your church would like to help "stoke the Spirit's fire" in the marriages in your community, contact firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule a Family Fire seminar.

Remember dad's lectures, "As long as you live under my roof, you'll live under my rules." With 60% of Americans receiving more than they pay to the government, they're dependent. They're under government's roof and subject to their rules. What don't liberals want to control? They're regulating everything from peanut butter to light bulbs and from fast food to carbon footprints. Is that the America you want to live in? If you want freedom, vote conservative. If you want a regulated nanny state, vote liberal.
Had enough of high taxes? Mark Twain said, "The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin." The new healthcare plan authorizes hiring 18,000 new IRS taxidermists to take more of your money. Vote for conservatives committed to keeping all taxes as low as possible and letting you spend more of your own hard-earned money.
Finally, don't vote for any candidate who believes that America's better days are over—global warming's coming, more austerity and high unemployment for the foreseeable future, and future generations living at a lower standard of living than their parents.
Democrats say that Republicans have no answers. Their answer is YOU! Reagan came into office at a time of malaise and freed up American workers, investors and entrepreneurs to invent a better future and keep more of the rewards they deserved for doing so. We are America, and we are not done!
With the right incentives and policies, Americans can again lead the way in inventing the future. It won't be immediate, but it will come. Incentives and our free enterprise American Dream still work. Let it do so again by voting for the most conservative candidates available.

Cloud Collaboration – The Necessity Of Teaming Up
"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships."
– Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player ever.
For the vast majority of Americans, Michael Jordan needs no introduction. For the very few who haven't heard of him (is that even possible?), he is the epitome of individual brilliance who has shined brighter on the basketball court than any man before or since. But even for such a paragon of perfection, teamwork was a necessity for success. I'm sure that Jordan's impressive statistics would be far less impressive if he didn't have his team backing him up. Even for an individual sport like tennis, the likes of Venus Williams would attest how much they owe their support staff.
The corporate world is more a basketball game than a tennis match, comprising people with different skill sets who complement each other and collaborate to achieve the desired results. And three things have made collaboration even more important than ever before – the specialization of human knowledge, the globalization of business and the mobility of the individual. Allow me to explain.
Every day we add to the bank of human knowledge at an exponential rate. Just to put things in perspective, experts estimate there has been more data generated in the last two years than in all the years of human existence before that. And while not all of that data is useful information, a large part of it is, and needs specialized knowledge to effectively utilize.
Think about the computer industry. 50 years ago, mainframes, FORTRAN and COBOL would be enough to describe the industry. Today, in order to run IT for an organization, you would need the services of a cloud architect, network engineer, Java programmer, Oracle administrator, so on and so forth. And they will have to collaborate to deliver the optimum solution. Same is the case with healthcare. Three decades ago, a GP (General Physician) might have been enough for most of your medical needs; today, the GP may refer you to a Neurologist, Nephrologist, Endocrinologist, etc. And they would have to collaborate to heal you.
The point I'm making is that increase of knowledge has made it necessary for specialists to emerge – humans are limited in how much they can individually learn and work, making collaboration a necessity in every field of human endeavour, including business.
On the second point of globalization, the need for collaboration is easier to understand. If a project requires input from people with first-hand knowledge of local conditions, it necessitates collaboration between them across geographical boundaries.
Finally, let's look at how enhanced mobility is fuelling collaboration. There's no denying that mobile technologies are getting more powerful and less expensive. According to this report from PricewaterhouseCoopers, this trend is not going to change anytime soon. Therefore, access to business information is becoming easier and cheaper. And with cloud technologies, this effect is multiplied manifold. People are using the cloud to collaborate like never before. In fact, more can be done on a smartphone today than on a desktop computer 10 years ago.
From emailing a client presentation to monitoring patient health remotely, mobility and collaboration is everywhere. Citrix, one of the early leaders in this space with its VDI solutions, has embarked upon a mobility initiative that seeks to bring together the best minds across industries and technologies to find the best solutions for the future. If you're looking to be at the forefront of this mobility revolution, Mobile Enterprise 360 should be your go-to expert source.

If being too gorgeous were a crime, this luminizing powder would turn us all into serial offenders. Ok, maybe that's a little extreme, but can you blame us? This three-in-one highlighter, eyeshadow, and all-over shimmer is the prettiest honey-hued pigment weve ever laid our eyes on. As the pun-tastic name suggests, this versatile luminizer imparts a soft-focus glow wherever we choose to apply it. Light-reflecting silica particles conceal blemishes and fine lines, while the honey color leaves a sheer wash of shimmer. It's our secret to looking great in all settings, from fluorescent cubicles to candlelit cafes.
This highlighter is amazing! I tried using it as a brow highlighter, in the corner of my eyes, on my cheeks and as an eye shadow. It is the perfect color with great shimmer and doesn't have an annoying "glittery" effect that some highlighters have. I definitely recommend this as a multipurpose product!5

The Rev. Debra Haffner, director of the Religious Institute, a multifaith organization formed to advocate for sexual health, education, and justice in faith communities and society, shared her organization's new report, "Toward a Sexually Healthy and Responsible Unitarian Universalist Association," with General Assembly participants Friday afternoon.
The report is the result of a year-long review of all of the UUA's sexuality-related policies, programs, and advocacy work. It makes several recommendations. Among them are these:
- That the UUA create a new staff position, Minister for Sexuality Education and Justice;
- That it "reinvest and recommit" to the Our Whole Lives (OWL) sexuality education program as well as the Office of Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Concerns; and
- That it improve "how the UUA understands, defines, and responds to sexual harassment and misconduct."
Haffner, who is also the endorsed community minister with the Unitarian Church in Westport, Ct., presented her report first on Tuesday to the UUA Board of Trustees. Friday was the first time the report, released in May, was explored in depth.
In a nutshell, Haffner said that the best work the UUA does around sexuality issues is its OWL program for middle schoolers, the fully inclusive way it embraces gays and lesbians, and its work on marriage equality.
On the downside, OWL curricula for other segments of the UU population, including adults, should be improved, said Haffner, and the UUA needs to greatly improve its sexual harassment prevention and response programs and increase the amount of sexuality education required of candidates for ministry. She said it also needs to be more inclusive of transgender people and other people who identify not as gay or lesbian, but along a scale of gender identity and sexual orientation.
She said that different groups within the UUA have different guidelines as to what constitutes harassment and how to respond to it, and how to deal with allegations.
In other findings, she noted that about 70 percent of our congregations do not have a "safe congregation" committee. About one-third don't have a written safety policy. Most congregations—78 percent—have no policy as to what to do if a sex offender joins the congregation.
A third of congregations don't screen their staff, and 84 percent don't screen babysitters, even though older teens often prey on younger children. "You cannot let people work with children if you do not really know who they are," she said.
One interesting finding: Smaller congregations are doing some of the best work on GLBT issues. "If you think about it, in places like Minneapolis there might be six places that queer kids can go for support," she noted. "But if you're in the middle of Iowa then you're the only game in town."
Haffner's study was funded by a grant from the UU Veatch Program at Shelter Rock. The institute recently received a second Veatch grant which it hopes to use to publicize and promote its study within the UU universe.

Thanx, Jad! The blind is one of the best from Craig and that's saying a lot, he's a true genius! I can't understand how Avedesk was giving you so many problems unless you low on memory or ram. What are the spec's for your laptop?
well im not too sure (i dont really remeber) i think it should about a 1gig's worht of ram.. but this little laptop has a lot of customizing soft, and firefox, and other extra progs like that.. so avedesk was just too much i guess. especially when i ran photoshop.. for the first time in my about 2 year experience.. photoshop just shutdown on me the last day avedesk was on this pc.. so i was just like it has to go. haven't had any probs since. and yeah Craig is one good wb skinner!

Comfort food- Southern stylePosted on 02 / 16 / 2015
The decor and ambiance here bespeak of a focus on the joys of life through shared dining in a welcoming atmosphere. It is always a buzz in here, always busy.
As a veg*n, there are plenty of options as long as you are jot a raw foodist. Even the salads are not raw with grilled pineapple or jerk tofu salad. The sides to choose from complement the meal, like collard greens and Brussel sprouts. However, it may frustrate that not all veg side dishes are vegan. The food is not aiming to be healthful, as the entrees like a lentil burger and fried tofu have much oil, though not necessarily oily tasting. There is also vegan gumbo. For brunch, the menu is not anything more exciting for vegans than the salads, so it may not be the best choice as a vegan.
A good selection of vegan items, but Eatonville is both the tastiest or most vegan friendly business in this area. Unless with others dying to eat here, maybe opt for another venue if the goal is to have a high selection of possible dishes.
Cons: Vegan selection small, Gluten-free not marked

Last night, over some yakitori and quite a few beers, we were discussing whether or not the competitors at the 16th Kawasaki Robot Festival could be properly classified as 'robots' or not.
In one sense the Kawasaki bots are R/C mechanisms. They aren't autonomous and typically aren't equipped with an array of sensors or advanced electronics and computing power.
But, at the same time, they do teach participants the basics of robot design, especially with regard to mechanisms, motors, and remote control systems.
The most important factor, and the reason that we, personally, can easily agree to call them 'robots' is that they excite, delight, and inspire the participants and the audience.
Here's a quick look at some of the action that might give you some understanding of why we like this robot sport so much:
At the end of the day, everyone at the Kawasaki Robot Festival had a fantastic time, and most of them will spend hours, days, weeks, and even months, getting ready to do it all over again for the 17th competition.
The winners of the Professional and Amateur humanoid categories at the Korea Robot Game Festival stage a battle just for fun. Thanks to RoboSavvy for sharing the event video.
What happens when two humanoid robot builders, one a Japanese ROBO-ONE champion for half a decade and the other an American RoboGames gold metal winner without peer, meet up in Korea to fight it out?
Roaring testosterone? Tempers soaring out of control? Blood, guts, servo motors burning, gears flying?
Nope. Not at all.
They play baseball, of course!
And, they're actually pretty good at it. Check out the action around minute 3:00.
On the pitching mound representing Japan at the Korea Robot Game Festival, is Mega Dynamizer designed and built by Tomio Sugiura. At the plate, doing a great job of connect with the fast balls (and wearing the cool slacks) is Zyn, created by Rob(ot) Farrell, the driving force behind Farrell Robotics.

The "BRAVE" Robot Competition Series is one of our favorites here because it gets people envolved in building, learning, and enjoying robotics with a minimum investment in time, money, and effort. Think of it as a 'kinder, gentler' version of combat robots, where the goal is just to turn your opponent over on its back rather than total berserker destruction.
Engineering students at La Salle de Barcelona (Spain) and members of RO-BOTICA.com are logging lots of practice time on the soccer field in preparation for the Korea Robot Game Festival that kicks-off in just a few days.
The results of the BotJunkie robot group naming contest are in and the winners have been announced. All things considered, it was quite an interesting exercise for all concerned.
Some of the unexpected surprises:
When it comes to motivating people, espcially kids and those still young at heart, to really excel at robotics, competitive games are one of the most useful tools available. Of course there are many competitions, like ROBO-ONE humanoid wrestling, FIRST, VEX, and others. All of those serve a very useful, and noble, purpose. Still, the level of expertise and investment in both time and money, just to get into the game is not trivial, and is often beyond the means of a novice, especially in small towns or rural areas.
There are, however, simple robot games that can be enjoyed by anyone that can put together even the most basic mobile robot. A good example is Robot Billiards, one of the games frequently played by fans of the popular Wonderful Robot Carnival competitions here.
Define a playing field big enough for the robot to move around a bit. Take 9 paper cups, turn them upside down, and mark the numbers from 1 to 9 on their bottom. Place them around the perimeter of the field in a pattern so the robot has to go back and forth. The challenge is for the robot to knock each one of the cups out of the field in the shortest possible time without falling out itself.
You'd be surprised at how difficult it can be sometimes, and how much fun.

Huntress BBW painting. about 2 hours hope you like it.
So... I gotta ask. And I'm not asking to be ugly. But ive seen lots of bbw pictures on deviantart. Is it because you think its funny? Or is it because of some artistic reason? great work btw.
I find bbw (in real life) to be beautiful. I draw them because I have a lot of affection for them. Of course sometimes I have a sense of humor, but I don't think fat people are ugly or funny. No harm in asking.
Oh. Well bravo to you then, sir. I see it online and I think:'ok. Either they do it to get a few laughs or its an artistic thing.' I'm glad to see some people actually find it beautiful. Im glad I was wrong. Again great job on the pic. Sorry for bothering you.
you should make her bigger
Wonderful work sir!
wow - i just started watching birds of prey
2 Hours constitues speedwork for you? i wonder how long a slowpaint takes.
Um yes. Finished art for me tends to take between 5-13+ hours.
Do you use any reference, friend--the shapes are quite accurate! Nice work.
I tend to use reference of various body types and ethnicity to create my drawings.
hehe " I like it.
gotta love a huge belly
its... so beautiful T_T
This was speed painting? Good job!
This is incredibly well done. I can't believe I didn't find this til now. I hate the way Deviant Art hides an artists drawings all under one picture instead of showing each and every new picture. But back to Huntress, her belly is quite luscious (Not to mention how beautiful the face came out). I also like how you went with the Hush/Jim Lee design. Great job.
I am so unfamiliar with the characters you draw so I must ask: Is this an OC? Either way fantastic work, obviously I love the belly, and your coloring and shaping are always on target. I just extremely enjoyed the mask and costuming. Wonderful.
I am not too familar with her myself, she's from the Batman comics and Justice League. This design is from the cartoon Justice League Unlimited. Anyway, really glad that you like it, did this rather quickly but pretty happy with it.
2 hours! Take me - er - 2 years to never...
love the shading on her belly and the shade of purple in the background. fantastic job!
This is awesome, incredible job once again.
I'm amazed at what you can do in only 2 hours!
aah what a lovely soft sqidgy belly
It's grrreat!
You make purple do a lot of work.
You make purple do a lot of work.
ooh la la

Thousands of lives are saved every year by cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. And now the medical community is recommending we change the way we give CPR.
The American Heart Association is putting out new guidelines for CPR. Traditionally rescuers are trained to give 15 compressions and two breaths. But new research shows 30 compressions with a break for two breaths increases blood circulation. The only exception to the new ratio is for children and babies.
The hope is that the new guidelines will make CPR more effective and in turn save more lives.
For the full report on the new guidelines log on to:

ghosts of the future 01
The first issue of Ghosts of the Future, my Sonic fan-comic...
"Dreams of Disaster"
About 200 years in the future, Silver the Hedgehog is an average kid living in San Francisco... except for his strange and terrible dreams of a dying Blue Hedgehog, a Black Hedgehog, and mysterious gems called "Chaos Emeralds". What will he do, when these "figments of his imagination" appear before him in his real life?
Is there any way I could buy a paper copy of these?
Very good Comics. Excuse me, you let me translate your comics into Spanish?
I hope your answer.
How old where you when you started this comic? I'm 14 and so I was curious.
I was 14 too!
Wow! That's really awesome! I wish I could draw like you could at 14! Maybe I'll start a comic myself, I kinda have inspiration now!
I love your GOTF series XD Make more pleaseee...
I saw your animation on YouTube! Loved it!
When I first read this comic, before I had an account, I was kind of "... You killed off the main characters! Why?" Then I realized by the end of the first issue, "To set up the plot and have the three heroes together in the most creative way possible."
Seriously, I was impressed. Silver lives 200 years in the future, so you have Sonic as a ghost/guardian, and Shadow is already immortal as far as anyone is concerned. You're proof that Professional Fandom is real.
I also like the way you put the games into the comic, like Secret Rings (color!), and Unleashed, my favorite because I like werewolves. Do you ever plan on having a Black Knight issue when you're done with the combination of SA2 and CD?
I love it when someone gets where I'm coming from with the story in GOTF! Thanks!
Yes, I am planning a Black Knight-themed story arc. It should be fun-- I have a rough idea of the plot, and there's some really neat stuff going on. I hope you like it when I finally get to it!

Does anyone have made a 'htmlmixed' + 'Velocity' mode for codemirror? Or anyone can advice how to achieve that?
You might be able to get somewhere using the mode-multiplexer, if there are specific strings that you want to use to switch mode on. But it looks like Velocity would require something more advanced. So you'd have to write your own super-mode, similar to what the htmlmixed mode does, which intelligently switches between modes.
I was able to achieve this easily with the overlay.js addon:
Then in the editor set the mode option to be "velocityOverlay" and you are done.
However, the velocity mode highlights characters like <,>, etc as velocity operators which you may not want as it will make your html higlighting look ugly. To deal with this I changed the following line of code in velocity.js:
I don't think that you can mix both the CodeMirror: Velocity mode and the CodeMirror: HTML mixed mode. A mode is the way of doing things in a specific way. How could you mix up two modes? I don't think that there is a possibility.

The paradox of universal inclusion
"Everyone must have everything, None should be afflicted by nothing" goes a Tamil film song of yesteryears. The poetic licence loses its coin in the face of practicality, or even otherwise, of a probable aftermath. It kicks off as a political slogan on poverty eradication, but that is where the red herring ends. In these days when "inclusive growth" does the rounds, the buzz phrase is "for all"- "wealth for all", "power (whatever it may mean, from fruits of democracy to access to electricity) for all", "education for all" - the glib talk of universal … [Read More...]

Genre: Reality, Fashion
Premise: Fashion journalist Louise Roe acts as host on this design competition series on which 13 designers vie for a multimillion-dollar contract to launch their line in stores across the country by showcasing their creations and proving their business savvy. In each episode, the fashion buyers, from Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Express, who serve as judges, get the opportunity to purchase work from the up-and-comers, with the winning items being available to the public to purchase online immediately and in the company's stores the following day. The designers who don't sell their items to the buyers are put up for elimination, but one designer can be saved from the chopping block by celebrity mentors Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos.

This slender petite little teen gets absolutely massacred by this monster cock Czech boy. Tall, thin, bony and lanky slim girls are what we love, they're just so fucking sexy. If we all loved skinny blonde chicks like this big cock euro-boy does, we'd be so lucky. Check out this TGP gallery as he splits her tiny, petite, small little pussy in two. I have a feeling not only will she not be hungry for food, but she won't be hungry for cock for at least a few hours.
Slim little petite nude porn girls like this take their job seriously. Some days they get fucked by small cocks, some times big cocks. Either way, we know these slender and slim models usually have small tits, but who cares. They cancel out the big cocks I guess, right?
