Just Like You

Was created for the Youth Hope (Christian Friendliness) fundraiser banquet back on March 5th, 2009. Inspired from the video 'Woman at the Well' as found on Youtube. Special thanks to my actors because this was all put together at the last minute and to Caleb who did an amazing job (in a very short amount of time) on the graphics. Music is from Explosions in the sky. Shot, written, directed and edited by myself.

I hope you like the video and God speaks to you through it, and as the video says, we all come from different life stories but we all wrestle with the same core fears but the best part is, we all serve the same amazing saving God.

Youth Hope info (cfyouthhope.org), please support this amazing organization if you can:

YouthHope is an outreach to low-income, unchurched kids and teens. We pursue the poorest kids in the Quad Cities through our outreaches in housing complexes, schools, and by befriending them in their neighborhoods.

Our outreach consists of three specific efforts. First, street outreach is the heart of what we do. We go into schools, housing complexes, and neighborhoods to pursue kids. We comfort, teach, and support families as we invite them to our youth centers. We provide transportation for hundreds of kids each week. Second, we offer two youth centers, one in Moline, and one in Rock Island. We offer a wholistic approach to developing low-income kids and teens into productive community members. We establish a positive peer culture that creates a safe place for kids to develop. Both centers are strategically located near schools and housing complexes. They have computer labs, basketball courts, climbing walls, games, and staff committed to building healthy relationships. Finally, we have a camp 35 minutes from their urban neighborhoods, Camp Summit, a place for them to retreat from their daily challenges.

Christian Friendliness, established in 1936, is a very unique, growing and thriving ministry. Check us out and get involved in our exciting life-changing outreach.
