It has been about five months since I was last in California in San Pedro. The cool ocean air has been a welcome change from the mugginess lately in Orlando. It has also been wonderful to once again greet my brothers and sisters in Christ at Ocean View Baptist Church. On Wed I was welcomed as the speaker for the high school youth group. The group has grown since I was last here and it was wonderful to see how active and interested the group was. The whole youth ministry is growing and I am excited to see how many of the young men and women there are stepping up and becoming involved.
I was able to speak in both services on Sunday and was interviewed by Jared Kilduf the associate pastor/youth pastor. Outside I set up a presentation of what Wycliffe Associates is and did my best to tell everyone what I had done and am doing as a member of Wycliffe Associates.
Ocean View Baptist Church is a wonderful church. It is a good model of a Christ centered Bible focused church that wants to have a purposeful and positive impact on the surrounding community. They have a heart for their city. While I was there the church held a serve San Pedro day in which they went and cleaned up beaches. When I used to be a Stamps Intern at Ocean View, they would have these serve San Pedro days every so often. The goal to show God's love through service. As you can see I can't say enough about the good people at Ocean View Baptist Church. If you are in the area I would encourage visiting. They will notice you are new and will welcome you with pleasure.
