Saturday, March 10, 2007


I had produced this short text video for a Worship Service during Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. This is a timeless message about serving. God created us in his image. He was the greatest servant of all, by sacrificing his Son for us! This is what makes us great - we have the power to serve. Do service. Care for others. Reach out to the needy or the poor or a friend or a family member. Remember - "TO SERVE" is the new definition of Greatness. Everybody can be Great!! But we have "TO SERVE". Some tech notes: used iMovie to text the video, I underscored the video with an orginal segment that I adapted from another loop. Tied the underscore with a drum loop. Downloaded Dr. King's speech from a public site, used Goldwave to sample, compress and edit speech.

My Calling

My name is Andy V. I am a worship arts pastor and administrator at a local church in South OC. I was recently called into full time ministry about a year ago. I serve at a church with wonderful people. This past year has been an incredible journey of growth and learning. God is Good! Our senior pastor recently resigned and received a call to an incredible ministry, and from what I hear he is doing great! This leaves a great opportunity for our church to search for a new leader! But we must remember, a leader can only do so much, we must put our hope and trust in the one above!

I am guitarist, keyboard player, vocalists and do a lot of programming and writing. I also enjoy putting together little shorts (videos) for our messages. I currenlty lead a modern service (which is called our second service) and we recently hired an incredible director, Dr. Don Gray for our first service which is more of our performing arts venue with the Lake Hills Choir, Orchestra and special guest artists. It is amazing to see what God can do when you focus on Him and excellence in worship. Our second service is going very well, its a smaller bunch, but many are anticipiting and waiting on God. I pray daily for those who set foot on our campus and for our community around us. I will post songs from this service soon, but I am working making sure I don't infringe on any copywrite.

Minsitry is very different than being in the corporate world. I used to be in the coffee business and worked for one of those "Good to Great" companies. But God had different plans for me. I have always been into worship and the arts, but had one foot in the corporate deal and another foot in ministry. I had the privelage to serve at great churches and help a church plant in the Inland Empire. I look foward to what God has in store this year! - V

My goal is to journal my ministry and life experience as it pertains to my family, worship and the local church. I also look forward to connecting with others with similar life experiences thru this blog.
