And the superstar volunteer of Ignite camp goes to....

Tristan Berg! Jenny Brien! Tiffany Bourgeois! Nate Caldwell! Tina Chavez! Justin Crouch! Josh Danskin! Heidi Levesque! Jon Levesque! Terryl Padilla! Anna Tatham!

Each one of these guys made Ignite Camp the most incredible week this summer.

Tristan Berg

Tristan has been a faithful volunteer at GRID 2911 for many years. He works an insane schedule and still makes sure he is at everything. Tristan took a week off of work to volunteer at Ignite Camp. His leadership and passion was and is contagious. He did an incredible job leading the G's for Jesus with his co leader. Thank you Tristan!

Jenny Brien

Jenny has also been an incredible volunteer at GRID 2911 for many years. She took a week away from her husband to lead with Tristan the G's for Jesus. She was a vital part in helping work out details for the camp. Her prophetic voice at camp was inspiring, her leadership, passion and compassion were incredible. She had the opportunity to help some young ladies through some tough issues and she did it with power and anointing. Thank you Jenny!

Tiffany Bourgeois

Tiffers co lead Team ID with her future brother in law Terryl. Hailing from the island of Guam Tiffany's passion for our generation is evident and contagious. When she took the mic God's anointing was so evident, it certainly broke chains off of people. Her leadership changed the lives of many young ladies, especially those who didn't want to be there. Thank you Tiffany!

Nate Caldwell

Nate was our utility player at camp. He came early, worked day and night to set up and get things ready and was always willing at a moments notice to do what ever it took to make it the greatest week of the summer. Nate not only was vital to Ignite camps success, but pulled double duty and lead at Accelerate Kids Camp. Nate's desire for the things of God and to see people's lives changed was key to the success of Ignite and Accelerate. Thank you Nate!

Tina Chavez

WOW! Tina's leadership was absolutely amazing. She had to lead through some real difficulties and did it with strength and anointing and many, many, many, many lives were changed because of it. As the leader of Magma I saw her students transformed in a real powerful way and it was because of Tina's passion, love and leadership. Thank you Tina!

Justin Crouch

Justin was my right hand man at Ignite. He oversaw the audio production set up and ran it. He made the youth worship team sound really good and he co lead team R2D2 with Anna. One night Justin took the mic and preached the most anointed seven minute word I have heard in a long time. His passionate prayer and leadership was outstanding and lives were change because of his faith! Thank you Justin!

Josh Danskin

Josh was the media maniac at camp. He got there early too to set up lights and video. All week Josh worked his can off to film and produce highlight videos. Not only did he film, edit and run video during services, he lead, prayed, and tore it up with all the young people there. He was the adopted leader of Team ID. One night he stayed up until 4:45am to produce a highlight video, that was off the heezy by the way. Josh is the man! Thank you Josh!

Heidi Levesque

Heidi! She also took work off for the week, lead team D4 and drove the bus down and back and down and back and down and back. Few people knew, but Heidi got up early or drove late on several occasions to drop off and pick up buses. This was her first camp leadership experience and she knocked it out of the park. Her passion and faith are evident and have changed many lives. She is an incredible spiritual mother to many! Thank you Heidi!

Jon Levesque

Jon was only able to get the last couple days of work off, but he did it and he showed up with an explosion of faith and passion. He stepped right in and helped his wife lead team D4 and did an incredible job. His leadership was outstanding and in only a few short hours gained the trust of his team and was able to help many change and grow. Thank you Jon!

Terryl Padilla

Terryl took his leadership to a whole new level! He co lead with Tiffers team ID and help many young men develop a passion for God. His team were found on many occasion reading their bible, engaging in passionate worship and hungry for God and it was his leadership and passion that sparked this. He taught from the stage on worship and helped take camp to the next level. His prayers and teachings were outstanding and vital to Ignites success. Thank you Terryl!

Anna Tatham

My nickname for Anna is quiet thunder because she's always been quiet, but extremely powerful. At ignite the thunder roared as Anna unleashed the passion and incredible leadership that is inside of her. On several occasions she took the mic and preached the word. It was incredible to see the anointing on her life. She stepped up and stepped in to help any in need. Her faith and leadership certainly transformed many! Thank you Anna!

Each one of these leaders contributed in far more ways that a little paragraph can say and deserve far more thanks. Ignite could not have been what it was had it not been for their leadership, passion, faith and prayers. When you see them give them a HUGE thank you!

Others who contributed and deserve mad props: Ryan Brien, Kristian Gorman, Jaime Flippin, Kat Bourgeois, Chuck and Stephanie Richter and Mark Wilmot.

And the Superstar volunteer of the week goes to...

RANDA KNIGHT!!! This post was for the previous Sunday, but I didn't have internet access in the cabin I was at so it will go up now. I'm sure she was a superstar last week too, while her husband Adam preached.

Randa gets my vote for superstar volunteer of the week because of her willingness to do anything. The check-in volunteer for the week was sick and I was unable to find a replacement. Without being asked or knowing what was going on, Randa saw a need and began checking in. I asked her if someone told her that help was needed and she told me no, but that she saw a need, so she filled it.

That my friends is superstar volunteer material! Thank you so much Randa, you are an incredible and vital part of GRID 29:11.

Somebody give her some props!

And the superstar volunteer of the week goes to...

MARA CURLEY!!! This past Sunday Mara was on the schedule to be a Foyer Greeter for GRID 29:11. Saturday night was her senior prom. Mara was out late with her friends having fun and she still got up early to serve at church. As is tradition at The Rock Church she wore her prom dress to church. In order to fit the role of Foyer Greeter she rocked her t-shirt over her dress (pictured above). Mara serves faithfully as a Foyer Greeter and as part of the worship team. She also comes down to the church during her week to help with special projects as needed.

Thank you Mara for your dedication to the church. You are an incredible volunteer and it's because of people like yourself we have such an incredible church!

Somebody comment a shout out to Mara for being the superstar volunteer of the week!

P.S. sorry there was no Superstar volunteer post last week, my phone was MIA and I was unable to snap a picture. I have someone for it and will get a pic and they will be called the super, superstar volunteer of the week.

And the superstar volunteer of the week goes to...

ADAM KNIGHT!!! Adam is at the GRID every week ready to do whatever is needed. He's also incredibly multi talented. From helping out in the foyer gathering students, to discipleship outside of church, to preaching incredible offering messages and giving us the 411 on what's going on every week Adam is the man. He is an incredibly loyal and hardworking volunteer. He's also my best friend, so that goes huge in his favor. Thank you Adam for all your hard work. You are the man.


Somebody give him a shout on my blog huh?

And the Superstar Volunteer of the Week goes to...

Heidi Levesque!!! She's only been volunteering in GRID 29:11 for 3 weeks now (really only two because she was in Arizona for 1 week) and already she is kicking booty. I saw her walking up to students she'd never met, that were sitting alone and she helped them feel welcome. She also was not afraid to sit right in the middle of a group of young ladies and be "the energy." After three weeks she's doing what a seasoned volunteer veteran would do and beyond. Way to jump in with both feet Heidi, to not be afraid and connect with students. You are awesome and you are the Superstar Volunteer of the week. Thank you!!!

And the Superstar volunteer of the week goes to.....

NAOMI LACOSS!!! This last Sunday Naomi took a break from her normal role of singing on stage and jumped in to help the foyer team. Without any prior experience she jumped in like a champ and connected with students like it was nobody's business. Not only that but she also left five minutes early to greet at the door of the GRID as students walked in, helping everybody feel welcome and get excited about the service. NOT ONLY THAT BUT!!! She also got one of our students signed up and involved in being a youth greeter. She tackled every situation that came her way like a champ and did an incredible job. Thank you Naomi for kicking serious butt on Sunday and being such an incredible volunteer in TVM. NOT ONLY THAT BUT, she also came up with a whole new welcome idea (her first was the musical chair thing and it rocked) that is going to be legit! Keep on rockin' Nome!

And the superstar volunteer of the week goes to...

QUINN RICHTER!!! (pictured above) This last Sunday Quinn ran the lights and video at the same time and did it so well that you would have thought it was two people. After service Quinn jumped into the cafe (he wasn't scheduled to do it) and helped out making tons of smoothies because help was needed. Quinn was one of the first people there and one of the last to leave. PROPS TO YOU QUINN!!! Every time the doors are open at the church and volunteers are needed Quinn is there. Not only that, but Quinn is an incredible man of God with a heart to reach his generation, maybe that's why he volunteers so much hmm... He has incredible standards and will be instrumental in bringing change to his generation! You're the man Quinn thank you and keep it up!!!
