Eric David Productions

I have photographed a few concerts but my personal favorite is one of my best friends: Eric David. Here is a link to some of the photos I took from a concert in Newburg: Eric David in Newburg. In addition, word has it he's engaged to his fiance Jessica: photos of Eric and Jessica on September 22, 2007: Cannon Beach, Oregon. I'm his backup best man, so that's got to be worth something. (grin)

If you follow his link to his website up above: www.ericdavidmusic.com, you'll be able to purchase his songs online through myspace and follow his concerts. Please visit one of them, you'll be inspired. As he always told me when we were room-mates, he's not about success or money with his music, he follows a spiritual path that is Biblically based and if you listen to the lyrics and music, you'll be inspired to grow closer to God and catch on the hunger in his soul that we all share for completion in the spirit.

City Bible Church - Mill Plain Grand Opening

Mill Plain Grand Opening - and check out: www.citybiblechurch.org A vibrant growing community church located in Portland, Oregon with 3 locations, all connected by fiber optic network for the simulcasting of services between all locations on 40 foot screens. I have been a member of this church for four years and have been attending for six years. It is a truly dynamic church and I have grown to love the culture and the people there. When I am on the road and lonesome, I can always tune in to a message through podcasts online or through itunes and it always seems to be the message I needed to hear regardless of where I am at or what I am doing. This church is truly spirit-filled and there is also a powerful Bible College called Portland Bible College that is small but unique that is associated with CBC which trains young people in music and other ministries from all over the world. It's the reason we have sister churches all over the world as well.

Kacie's Kids Portraits

My girlfriend Jamie used my portrait studio when I was going out of business from my downtown location at: 1020 NE 2nd Ave, STE 200 (Media Pod), Portland, OR 97219. She used the last of my equipment before I sold it off and she did an amazing job. Jamie is planning to start her own Studio in the next six months and she's working on her business plan.

Mission Trip to Uganda in July

For more detailed information about our trip and more specific photo links, check out: www.ugandastorm.com

As a member of a 24 person team from our church: www.citybiblechurch.org I was blessed with an inexpensive ticket over from my airline: www.worldairways.com to Entebbe, Uganda, Africa. For those of you unfamiliar with its exact location, it is in Central Africa near Kenya and bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo; where I grew up for 18 years of missionary parents. My parents were able to wire a friend of mine some western union funds so he could ride the bus 2 days to come and visit me in Entebbe.

We had a three-fold purpose on our mission trip: to help our sister Church: Reaching Unto Nations Bible Church in Entebbe complete its church dedication, help motivate and teach at the Women's Conference and also an East AFrican pastor's Conference. The pastor's Conference took place at Bwerenga, a piece of property that has been purchased by the church that is on the lake. Part of it has been developed into a sort of Pastor's university for teaching and graduating students in the languages of Uganda and English and the other part is being developed into an orphanage. The primary developers are Royce and Elizabeth Iverson, whose family is over there for the next couple of years until its completion. Stay tuned for further photos from our mission trip at www.apincphotos.com.

The place we called home base while in Uganda was a unique village of modern huts called Banana Village. There was cold water for showers in the morning, limited electricity, monkeys and roosters crowing to wake us up.

During the course of our experience, we did have one small adventure to the Source of the Nile, photos are at www.apincphotos.com. There we prayed together for Africa, believing that spiritually Uganda is prepared for a spiritual revival as well as the rest of Africa.

In addition, we had a children's festival and invited over 600 children from the slums around the RUN Bible Church and 150 of them joined the church and made a public confession of faith.

We also visited two major orphanages in Entebbe, Uganda. One of the largest is www.watoto.com which is a Christian-owned and organized operation that has about 2000 children at present. Their moto which is moving is "raising the future leaders of Africa" from the abandoned, widowed and Aid's refugee children of Africa's past. They have a program that works very well and also there is strict guidelines regarding adoptions and even all the volunteers that work in conjunction with their orphan ministry.
