Missing Roach (a little bit)

Posted by chris_jones on Thursday, June 25th, 2009

So I saw this little film today, and thought i would post it quickly. It makes me miss the Hazen’s a bit. Almost a month through the summer, and there are a lot of people that I miss. I am LOVING the time we get to spend with family and friends though. So far, this has been a fabulous break.

Even though My name is in the credits for this promo piece for a staff couple at the Training Center, I really have to give Weston Dilworth the credit for the time (HOURS I am sure) he has put into this. I hope those Hazens will be able to continue to serve as they have these last few years. Thanks again to Weston for Posting this on trusty old YouTube.

I post this to communicate the stories of some of the people we sit under here in training. So many of our teachers at the training center have stories like that- who would have thought that some of the coolest people on planet earth could be found in the Ozarks of Missouri? It has been a privilege to sit under such amazing training, and Evelyn and I look forward to going back at the end of our summer break.

As some of our friends and family may know, we have been praying for a new vehicle for some time now. We have enjoyed our years with the our blue Dodge Caravan, but the time came that we didn’t know if she would be able to keep up with our traveling lifestyle.

This spring, God provided the opportunity to purchase a more reliable vehicle! After looking for the right combination of affordability and reliability, we found our ‘99 gold Saturn Station wagon! It is not an automatic…. so this Mrs. Jones has to learn how to drive manual! Look out world! I have only conquered one hill since- so needless to say, I am slow learning. It’s easy to say at the moment, but it is true that God is Jehovah Jireh: The Lord that Provides. After a good cleaning and the official Apple sticker in place on the back window we took her the ultimate test: The 2009 Jones Summer Road-Trip.

Over the span of a week and half, we stayed with family in Oklahoma, drove through Texas, NewMexico, ran out of gas in the desert of Arizona, spent precious time with friends in Southern California, and had the privilege of taking the wedding pictures for our friends (now) Hartzels! We are enjoying our time here in Livermore, California, before heading out to Winona Lake, Indiana to spend time with our friends and Church Family at Christ’s Covenant Church for the rest of our break. Please be in prayer for us, as we start the rest of our Road Trip on July 6th!

FotoFest 2009

Posted by chris_jones on Monday, March 9th, 2009

This is FotoFest 2009! We had a fun evening here at the school wherethe student body could enter photographs to be voted in four different categories. Nature/scenery, People, Open/Creative, and Slideshow. I entered in all the print categories, and won 1st and 2nd place in the scenery and people categories respectively. Evie entered a slideshow she had made of some baby pictures she had taken. The whole night was fun and relaxed and there were some VERY good photos featured at the event. Below is some footage of the evening and our entries that took the cake, and above are the printed photos we entered.

Recently, we have had to rework our site… we apologize to those of you who are looking for certain things from our old rendition… all of our photos have been moved to hosting on Flickr, and all videos will be hosted elsewhere for faster and more reliable playback.

Hope you guys enjoy this video!

A Day in the Life.

Just a cheesy little video we did. Did this just to get a video up… I am sure you all started thinking that we don’t actually do videos. You were wrong, though. Seriously. It is lacking a bit in the content department, but it was fun to do, and shows off the campus a bit. I hope it whets everyone’s appetite, so that people will come and visit us out here in Missouri!

This will be replaced by the video, if it isn’t, I am having issues.
