I got to double-team a high school worship camp last night with Reality’s future church planter, Al Abdulla. (He’s the one teaching) It was so refreshing for me to sit and listen to him speak to teenagers about the glory of God; he would often quote old puritans from the 1700’s in his teachings.

I have reason to believe that high schoolers would be far more gripped in their affections by some of these Old School theologians than they would by a lot of the surface bible-candy they often recieve.

Oh! For more weight behind the pulpit!

Al and Nina Abdulla moved in to Carpinteria this morning! Al is the next church planter for Reality Carpinteria. We are looking forward to getting to know them as a new church family!

Here’s a closer look at our next Reality Church planter, Al Abdulla, as he bids farewell to the youth group he pastors.

We threw a bar-b-que to get to know our newest church planter, Al Abdulla.

You probably won’t be able to see him in the photos too much, but you’ll be able to see how silly the Reality staff is when no one’s watching.
