The Life Purpose Guy -- helping Entrepreneurial Christ Followers Bring Good Things to Life
This is almost
unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.
This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort
between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick
School of Engineering at the University of Iowa . Amazingly, 97% of the
machine's components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation
Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa . Yes, farm equipment! It
took the team a combined 13,029 hours (6.26 years) of set-up, alignment,
calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see, it
was WELL worth the effort. It is now on display in the Matthew
Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated
to the Smithsonian.

Dear Friends,
When God chooses to move in a big way there’s just no stopping Him and that’s where Phos finds herself these days -- smack-dab in the middle of a move of God.
When we launched Phos back in early 2008, we truly believed that we could/would be a mobile congregation always. But, 38 months of trailers and generators, snow and blazing heat, and set up and tear down week after week causes us to think that there may be a better way forward after all! Most of all, our incredibly dedicated team has realized that we could make better use of all that energy used in set up and tear down to ‘Grow Big People’ more effectively.
As you might recall, we met for a little over a year at Tinseltown Movie Theaters and now have been pretty consistently at Oldham County High School for about two years coming up in June. Of course, you’ll remember some cool venues like Waterfront Park, a fire station and a Planetarium. Over the past 18 months, we have diligently scoured our community from Westport Road to LaGrange to Goshen to Brownsboro to Crestwood looking for where we might go next. However, after looking at well over 30 possible solutions we were still at a dead end for a viable next step venue. We’ve been pushing on the rock but it just wasn’t moving.
Back on March 22, we got word from OCHS that they do not want to renew our contract beyond the end of June 2011. The rock was wedged squarely in the path of our future and we just couldn’t move it.
On the morning of March 23, the pastor of a local church [E320 Church which was formerly Centerfield Church] -- about 2 miles from our present venue -- called and asked if we were still looking for a new venue. The rock was starting to move...
Our leadership team has prayed about the possibility and we’ve agreed to energetically pursue this ‘ready to move in’ property as the next venue for Phos Church. So, on Sunday, April 17, we finalized an offer to purchase 10 acres with a ‘ready-to-move-in’ 10,800 square feet building. It is truly a rock that only God could move and we are excited to watch Him work among us.
We’d like to invite you to worship with us on Easter Sunday at OCHS at 10 AM. To conclude our experience, we’ll have a baptism at the new property and, weather permitting, we’ll have our ‘1,000 Easter Egg Hunt’ on the 10 acres at the new place.
Most of all, in Easter worship with Phos, you’ll hear the story of the God who moves the rocks that hold us back. He raises the dead and rolls the stone away. He’s the God of all time and most of all, He’s the God of that first Easter who sent His angel to roll the stone away and who sent Jesus to be our Lord -- an overcoming Saviour who overcame the ultimate obstacles of sin & death for all who take Him as Lord and Saviour.
So, come and experience the power of God on the move in your life and come see the possibilities that the new property opens up for Phos Church in the years ahead.
If you’ve ever wanted to be in on what God is up to, then now is your time to get on-board and hold on tight!
Peace,

Phos Church
p.s. Remember we’ll gather at OCHS at 10 AM for worship and then move over to the new property for a Baptism and Easter Egg Hunt [weather permitting].
p.p.s. The new property is just one minute south of Exit 18 off of I-71 at 4200 Centerfield Drive.
p.p.p.s. Prayerfully consider how God wants you to get in on what He’s up to as He moves the rock that’s been in our path.
