YouTube of the Month: June

I recently visited the Latvian occupation museum with some friends who were visiting us. Though I have been many times, the museum was a sobering reminder of the many tragedies this part of the world has experienced. Our generation tends to take freedom for granted and this video is another healthy reminder of the sacrifices people have made to maintain the freedoms we take for granted today.

The RĪGA Internship (ending)

The picture below signifies the end of the first round of The RĪGA Internship. :(
(from left to right: Kurts, Beāte, Krista, Krišjānis, Liene & Baiba)

I'm proud of each of these guys for following through on their commitment to follow Jesus! We met 19 times over the past four months to study and practice obeying Jesus' call to make disciples where He has placed us. I made mistakes, learned a ton, was encouraged by each person in the group and look forward to how God will continue to use them to glorify Himself! Each "graduate" received a Rīga Shirt, a certificate of completion, a framed picture of our group and a graduation hat! My hope is that these things will act as reminders of what God did over our time together and our call to continue following Jesus and making disciples. Soli Deo gloria!

i have rarely ever seen a video with a "christian" message that was done as well as this one. a fitting video in light of what we celebrated just a few days ago. thank you Jesus!

FREE MUSIC!!!!

thats usually my reaction when a group i like gives away free music. and usually they will give away a song, or if you're lucky, a free album. which is very generous! but rarely will you ever find a group who gives all (11) of their albums away for free. now i present to you page cxvi...


"Exciting news!!! PageCXVI and The Autumn Film are still celebrating 7 years of music by giving away their entire discography from both their projects Page CXVI and The Autumn Film*. Noisetrade has partnered with them for our March Jubilee Giveaway! They are thrilled and honored to work with an outstanding team of people who care deeply about music. If you have not already downloaded their 74 song, 11 album, 2 band giveaway please visit their giveaway on Noisetrade now!

Blessings,

PageCXVI"
