Local Press talks to Bake the Cycle

So, the local press is making a big deal about Bake the Cycle in their little town. This is bigger than we think, the widows are putting together a drama this year. We want to film them doing this and get this into the theatre. Everyone needs to know about this story.

clipped from truevineyard.org San Marcos Daily Record - Breaking Bread Published: September 04, 2008 12:17 pm As the Rwandan mission continues for locally-based True Vineyard ministries, 10 widows in the city of Ruhengeri-Musanze now have something they could have never imagined a year ago: A full-time job. “I think they were surprised by it (the oven) at first,” Wiley said. “Even over here in the States, it looks like a satellite, some UFO thing. So many of them have never baked in any type of oven. They just don’t have that kind of concept. Even down to trying to slice the bread, they didn’t know how to use a bread knife. This is something that is completely unknown to them.” Ayinkamiye Velonic (right) and Uzamukunda Alivera enjoy a few minutes of break time while working at the new bakery in Rwanda. A wall was built in three days on the land recently purchased in Ruhengeri by True Vineyard Ministries. The lot will eventually be the permanent home of the widows’ bakery.

Solve Attrition Problems

Reading this and putting it into practice in any business could solve the alarming attrition rate in America. We are so used to just disposing of people because they don't "fit the job" what about fitting a job around them and who they are and what they will become....how liberating. Tell me a company that does this and I'm there's for life...

clipped from www.hrtools.com CW: Obviously, an organic human capital strategy has to focus on getting as many productivity employees in the organization as possible. What can a business who wants to be organic do to retain these employees once they have them? Grow Old Together. Most jobs have some potential for creativity and growth. Most employees bring their own desire and potential for creativity and growth. Consider the aspirations of the individual employee. These exist, whether acknowledged or not. It is easy to believe that, once understood, these aspirations are static. But this is absolutely not the case. Aspirations change with time, with experience, with maturity, with age. Aspirations change, yet companies often have no recognition of this reality. They make no provision for the different, often uncontrollable external events going on in their employees’ lives. They treat them all the same, yet different stages of life can make you good or bad, a fit or not a fit, for different roles at different times.

Broken

The story of 10 widows impacts an entire city-- and God gets the credit for all of it. The cycle is broken because of a house, a solar oven & a sheep.

clipped from localreach.wordpress.com I’m called to spread this message to all of you, and figure out a way to get it to the world. Purpose Media International will be producing a documentary. Today is the day to raise money to see that it’s high-quality and put together professionally. PMI also puts on the Christian Entertainment Festivals to raise money for Bake the Cycle. Some of you know by now I work with a ministry, a small one, making a big impact in African villages. The story is incredible. It’s God breathed, no doubt. If you know me, you know I love Jesus. This story is confirmation that there is a God, and that He loves us, and is the source of Hope. All hope, all good things and everything anyone needs to be fulfilled. It started with me when Erica O’Grady & I took a trip to San Marcos to see some people in the internet business, Daniel Guitierez, & Diana Wiley. The last of these is where the story begins. clipped from localreach.wordpress.com

Vids from God Tube

I sure do want God Tube to have the playlists like YouTube. I love the reality of the vids they make. People are just real. Love it. I wonder if Rush of Fools would let a winner of the Christian Entertainment Fest tour with them?

Missed it AGAIN! Barcamp Houston

That's about the ONLY thing bad about being a single mom, I miss the coolest events sometimes!! But it's a good thing that the guys at Startuphouston.com and awesome people at the event contribute so much, for us poor pitiful souls! If you haven't had a chance to go to a barcamp, you must, you just absolutely must!!

clipped from www.startuphouston.com BarCamp Houston 2008: I Am Still Exhausted If you did not get a chance to attend the happy hour at Caroline Collective Friday night or BarCamp Houston on Saturday at the Houston Technology Center, you missed out on two fantastic opportunities to socialize, collaborate and gain an education on why Forbes magazine calls Houston a, “bubbling entrepreneurial tech scene.” Here are some things that I walked away with after the event: Bringing lunch in was the best idea I ever had. Last year, we all broke away for lunch and the event fizzled out after that. This year, we brought in Pappas BBQ and I believe it was a huge hit. Thanks to Ed Schipul for taking charge during feeding time to speed up the process. Most everyone was surprised that lunch was catered and it helped us recharge for the afternoon sessions.

Great Answers to Web Branding through Video

These people on Linkedin had some great answers to a question I asked the other day. I especially love the answer about the COMMUNITY determining the validity of a video. Once a company understands that the audience on the web is escaping advertising and marketing, they may catch onto allowing their employees to create their own documentaries, good & bad--then promote their employee's brand vs. their own.

clipped from www.linkedin.com Why are businesses still making antiviral videos and expecting viral results? Can you really "make" a video go viral? Isn't it the community that ultimately decides what goes viral. A business can create something that may qualify as viral worthy, but unless people share the video, it doesn't matter. I think the key is creating story about a business or brand that resonates with an audience, but some of that is still trial and error. Messages from Miguel Cano (1): It's not just with video but with the web in general. We're what, 10+ years into this whole innernets thing and lots of marketing people still don't understand if you want to broadcast the SOS on the web, the message will be ignored. Create something interesting and human and it has a much better chance to resonate with people even if it is not a huge viral success. Brett Scarlett Miguel Cano Adam Jewell Allen Laudenslager

Who do YOU work for?

Brad has posted a blog entry about who he really works for, in this day and time, it's nice to know we work for the One who is constant and never changes. Great post, Brad!

clipped from manmeetsgod.blogspot.com Man Meets God clipped from manmeetsgod.blogspot.com We Work For God In a recent discussion with my wife, we both came to realize who we truly work for. We work for God. In the world today, many of us are defined by what we do for a living. If you think about it, what is just about the first topic that comes up when you meet someone new or see someone you haven’t seen in a while. It usually centers around their jobs or careers. If you ask someone to tell you about themselves without asking about their work, it will frequently come up first. Most of us work for someone, meaning we are not self-employed. This means we have a boss. It also means that if we do not keep the boss happy, he/she might ask us to find employment elsewhere. For those of us who have been through that experience, it can be very frightening, humbling and life-changing.

Live Streaming from Live Events

Here's the idea of live-streaming from shows, with live broadcasters. No more closed entertainment, see it live. Better streaming equipment is needed, to get it to the social web, not just a website. This is live from The Good Business Show in Houston Texas. In previous segments, broadcasters were interviewing the show guests.

Great Book: Required Reading for Any Startup

Not crazy about the title, but it got ME to pick it up, so it worked. I love the ROWE: Results Only Work Environment. If you were like me, one easily frustrated with being lumped down to the lowest, unproductive common denominator in Corporate America, this book speaks to you. Had corporations adopted this thinking and radioactive formula for success, they would still have you and I and the ideas, productivity and $$$$ to show for it. To the authors: Thanks for writing this book so people don't think I'm nuts.

clipped from caliandjody.com why work sucks and how to fix it No Schedules, No Meetings, No Joke – the simple change that can make your job terrific In a “Results-Only” company or department, employees can do whatever they want whenever they want, as long as business objectives are achieved. No more pointless meetings, racing to get in at 9:00, or begging for permission to watch your kid play soccer. No more cramming errands into the weekend, or waiting until retirement to take up your hobbies again. You make the decisions about what you do and where you do it, every minute of every day. This book explores why most workplaces are so dysfunctional, and offers a dramatic new way to stop the toxic behaviors and beliefs (“sludge”) that keep us from reaching our potential. It also shows readers how to start their own Results-Only Work Environment, even on a small scale, and help spread the revolution.

Awesome Show Last Night!

Wow, our Lord is so amazing. Despite the torrential downpours, He lead all of our guests and staff safely to the set of The Good Business Show. We are honored to be able to use the sanctuary of Second Baptist for the taping. This show was the best yet, with musical talent, some incredible Spirit-Filled people and some very intriguing interviews. Our Guests were: Jane Harding & Ron Swofford of Executive Services Corps of Houston,, Mike Malkemes & Martin Garza of Generation One, Alan Litvak of Kingdom Racing, Marti Boone of Be an Angel Fund, Inc., Bonnie Thompson of Pregnancy Crisis Center North, and Musical Guests: Peggy Neff and David Darsey, son of George Darsey, his music is uploaded on the music section.

And of course, the Purpose Media International Cast & Crew!

and myself

We are moving toward the open source entertainment model, where anyone can watch, send and message the shows we produce. They aren't OUR shows to keep to ourselves, they are His shows and they should go everywhere. So if you see something you like, send the players to everyone, put them on your site or blog.

An exciting initiative: We are praying for a title sponsor for this show, and the others in development. The Lord has placed a great opportunity to take this show in venues with live-audiences. The September show will be in front of a 1200 person venue, we would love to fill the seats, and do this all over the country, including Vegas. Can you imagine God has a show in Vegas??? How awesome? Also, SAF Studios in San Antonio wants to help direct this show and place it at their new motion picture theme park when it's built. It will have a home when it completes the road tour. Please be praying for this, and if you know anyone that wants to fund this please let us know.

The Live-streaming.
We had some technical challenges with the internet signal, and were only able to get parts of it live-streamed to the web, and because of that the microphone adapter wasn't functioning correctly on the back-up computer that was getting a better connection. The web prefers live and if the Lord draws them to the content, they'll watch it regardless of the technical interruptions. So if you were a guest, we will be publishing the interviews on youtube, but don't expect much because the connection froze a number of times. We need lots of prayer for the next show! We are considering a few options to solve these issues, and will have them fixed by the next show.

Meet the Chef

This guy ROCKS! He cooked for us the other night (we have some really good footage, but we're saving it for later) He deserves nothing less than to reach millions through cooking...buy his book before it hits the shelves on his site: www.cookingwithclive.com. It's really not even about the cooking, its about the moments and cooking is the platform he uses to share the message of Christ. Let's help him!

Being Real Works-Businesses THIS is how it's done.

Being Real Works-This is not only cool, but this guy went to a vending machine room for better acoustics and dude can sing, too! Didn't get dressed up, no chair, he probably doesn't even have shoes on---classic. Leading example of what businesses should be doing on the web.

Clean Kid Content

This studio rocks! They're producing the coolest 3D animation, perfect fit for Nickelodeon, called Jesse D & Me. We got to see the whole process from concept to actualization at their studios. If you've been to MGM, you know what I'm talking about. Only these studios are in the middle of nowhere, in Hartselle, AL. They're really creating great work, and I can't wait to see more of their stuff. In the meantime, check out all their videos..bring over the kids, and make it a WebTV night, watching Christian Kid Content.
