Deidox

We are super excited to be in Orlando this week at the Exponential Conference.  In case you don’t know about Exponential Conference its all about church planting.  Some of the speakers are Francis Chan, Alan Hirsch, Hugh Halter, Louie Giglio, Mark Batterson and many others.

Our friends from the Idea Camp will be hosting some great workshops. Charles Lee will be doing some live streaming interviews.  They also will be giving away some free Deidox sample DVD’s. So if you are attending the conference, make sure you say “Hi” to Dave.

This past weekend we started shooting out next Deidox film – Alyssa. It was so cool following her around with a camera and observing the unique perspective God has given her on life.

Here are a few stills from the first day of shooting. We’ll be shooting this story off and on over the next few weeks.

Also, you’ll notice a new team member with a camera. That’s Jacob Lewis. He and Jefferson Henson are working with us on this Deidox story. They also do media for Cornerstone Simi Valley (the church Francis Chan speaks at). We had a blast shooting with them.

Hey friends. Tomorrow (Saturday, February 27) we will begin shooting our next Deidox film.

If you think about it, we’d love your prayers:

- Pray that the shoot goes well, health and protection (both physical and spiritual) for all involved.
- Pray for creativity and energy to do the best we can, and that we’re able to capture and tell the story that God wants us to tell.
- Pray for Alyssa, the girl we’re following. That God would speak and work through her.

We’ll be posting pictures and updates during the shoot through our twitter account - twitter.com/deidox.

Also, on this shoot we’ll be working with Jeff Henson and Jacob Lewis, two very talented film guys that do media with Cornerstone Simi Valley (Francis Chan’s Church). It’s our first shoot with them and we’re pretty excited about it. The team of Deidox filmmakers is expanding… we’ll have more news to share about that in the coming weeks.

If you’re curious, here’s the equipment were taking with us. Actually, here’s less than half of the equipment. We will have five cameras for this shoot because of some of the unique complexities in capturing this story live.

This week the Deidox team is attending the Verge 2010 conference in a rainy Austin, TX.  We’re sponsoring the Coffee Lounge, so if you’re at the conference we’d love to meet you in the cafe!

The Verge conference is real cool.  Its focus is on the missional church, and this place is packed full of people who are desiring to be on mission for God.  Seems like each one of them would make a great Deidox story.

Today we’ll also get to sit in on sessions with Francis Chan, Alan Hirsch, Hugh Halter, and Jeff Vanderstelt (from Soma!), all guys who have been hugely influential on our Deidox journey. Love it!

Here are a few pictures from the Cafe.

The Deidox team will be in Austin, TX on Feb. 4-6th for the VERGE 2010 Conference.  The VERGE conference is hosted by The Austin Stone church and focuses on the missional community movement.  Some of the speakers include Francis Chan, Alan Hirsch, Dave Ferguson, Hugh Halter, and Ed Stetzer. We’re pretty excited to be attending.

Deidox is the official sponsor of the Cafe/Coffee Shop. There we’ll have a booth and will be previewing several Deidox films.  We are also giving away free Deidox DVD’s. If you are attending the VERGE Conference, please stop by the Cafe and say “hello Deidox”.  Would love to meet you.
