Okay, about this whole BOO-YEAH thing... I really was just kidding about it, but I'll drink the cool-aid. BOO-YEAH for everyone. I found myself saying it several times this morning. It was a good morning.
Since we started the service we have had a lingering technical problem involving a video scaler/switcher that would enable us to switch from a VGA feed to a COMPONENT feed and then output it to a RGBHV Cable hooked up to a HD Projector. Confused? So was I. The good news is that the TVONE 1250 seemed to do the ticket. That made me VERY HAPPY today. I was caught giving a boo-yeah outloud.
Also this week, we had another church's leadership come out. Jorge has been talking with another church plant. Relevant Church is growing in the Miami Lakes area, and they are looking at setting up a portable campus in a cafetorium (sound familiar?). I enjoyed talking with their techie guys, explaining some of the why/where/how in what we do. I've come to a realization that I cannot change the world by myself. Part of being missional is realizing that we need others out there to help us fight the war! To Relevant Church, let's get together!
We were able to say hello to an old friend today. We brought back our original stage... and banished the new stage deep into the storage bin. Mental note for anyone dealing with portable stage... always get stages where the base/legs are separate from the top... I've never really seen volunteers commit mutiny before, but I almost had it last week! Aside from the stage weighing in at 10,000 lbs... 1) it was too low -- 2) the stage transport (which nearly killed me a month ago) broke -- 3) it wasn't durable... needless to say, everyone is much happier now.
Next week we'll probably be using a new camera (JVC GY-HD250) which will allow us iris control in the control room. No more of Rick getting washed out! WooHoo! Not to mention we can start broadcasting the services in HD soon. BOO-YEAH!
We had over 400 people on our campus this week (first time non-Easter). I gotta say, I didn't think we would be growing at this speed. I also wonder how much longer we can keep up at this pace in our current facilities. The great thing is that God will provide...
Thank you, God, for allowing us to work harder for Your Kingdom. Give us the strength and time to do what You would have for us.
