Sr. Pastor Derick Biddinger, AKA The Builder.
Pastor Derick learned his constructive skills through his father John Biddinger as they worked side by side for 18 years in the custom home building field. biddingerhomes@aol.com. From economy to million dollar homes they together have produced some of the most creative work in the Panama City area. A father and son team would come to a close after 18 years when Derick was called as the Senior Pastor of The Dove A/G (www.thedovepc.org). Those were the training years to what would become Tiny Town Studios LLC.
Derick and his wife Jana were called into the ministry 20 years ago and knew they were called to children. Starting out as youth ministers, then children and student ministry they became the voice of children. Their passion and creativity to win souls has been their investment in the Kingdom of God. Taking a concept and bringing it into reality so that students can identify where they are in Christ. Derick and his team have watched countless lives changed because they made the investment in them. Building themed environments, writing creative and innovative curriculum, illustrations, imagination, drama and videos. Today's kids can be reached if we make the investment. If we don't, Derick says; "the world will!"

There was a man who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger, but the scorpion stung him. The man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water, but the scorpion stung him again.
Another man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion that kept stinging him. But the man said: "It is the nature of the scorpion to sting. It is my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just because it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?"
Don't give up loving, Don't give up your goodness, Even if the people around you, HURT and STING.
So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest.
I´m just stopping by to send a little encouragement from the scriptures - those verses just struck me tonite ... :-))
Therefore we do not loose heart! Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal...
It is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come!!! (2. Cor 4,16 ff.)
Take courage and have a great week!!
Cheers and Blessings!

As the year comes to a close, I quickly wanted to say thanks for joining me on my myspace journey. Actually, the last 3 months have been quite a ride for me, as I was starting to utilize this at that time for me totally unknown communication platform to introduce people to my music and story. And the response has been tremendous!!!
Thanks again, and I hope You will stop by in 2007 again. In case You have not checked out www.myspace.com/arnekopfermannband yet: I started this 2nd site to share a few more rather worshipful songs, that are working great for the church in Germany. Hopefully they will speak to You as well!
Last but not least: In case You are still looking for last minute Christmas presents, You will find my CD “With All My Heart” at www.m2sound.com/arne. Or just click the banner…
Have a great Christmas!!! The story of God becoming flesh will never stop to amaze me!
I hope You are doing great and have a good season trusting in Gods providence.
"Make every effort to add to Your faith goodness; and to goodness knowledge, and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control perseverance, and to perseverance godliness, and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
For if You possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep You from being ineffective and unproductive in Your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ ...
Be all the more eager to make Your calling and election sure. For if You do these things You will never fall, and You will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!" (2 Peter 1, 5-11)
