IGSM’s Viral Video
Hey guys, ISGM has it’s own viral videos!! Our videographer Josiah created these videos to promote the International Graduate Student Ministry Sunday Large Group Open House that we had this past Sunday. They were posted on the IGSM Facebook Fan Page. They are based upon the theme of Graduate Student Life. Check out the videos below and leave your comments.
Sierra Lodge Trip 2009
It’s hard to say good-bye to 2009 without recounting the memorable, action-packed and snow-filled Sierra Lodge trip that took place in November 2009. It’s hard to describe the event in words, but hopefully you can get a picture of the trip by looking at the photos above and the video clips below.
We had the brothers playing basketball at 3am in the morning: oldies versus younguns (dividing age line was 30). I have to say that the oldies just humbled the younguns.
We took a hike in the snow in the Sierra land. While enjoying the wonderful and pristine beauty of nature, we used the fresh snow to make snowballs and play snow fights. We love nature!
After we got back, we played an intense round of King Kong Shower in the Sierra Lodge. The sisters prevailed (or should I say dominated) over the brothers throughout the game.
Happy New Year 2010!
On behalf of IGSM, I want to wish you and your family a very happy and blessed year in 2010. We joined the Watch Night service put on by Gracepoint – Berkeley on the last day of 2009 to welcome 2010 through praise, prayer and countdown. This is an annual tradition at Gracepoint as we recounted as a church how God has worked in our midst. It made the turning of the year (or decade) much more meaningful.
On the first day of the new year, IGSM had our annual dumpling making party. Kate, dubbed “The Dumpling Queen” in IGSM, prepared the filling for the dumplings and demonstrated to us how to make dumplings the right way. Some of us are trying pretty hard while others are looking for their own ways to make their perfect dumpling. It was fun and rewarding because we got to eat the fruit of our labor right away.
LA Trip
It would be an understatement to say that we had fun on this LA trip to finish out the year. It was one of the most memorable trip for me because I got to have so much fun with the IGSM members in LA for three days. Some of us drove down to LA from the Bay Area on December 25th. We stayed at our members’ parents’ houses, which reduced the cost as well as allowed us spend more time together.
We went to Disneyland on the 26th and spent a whole day there. Disneyland was indeed the magic kingdom, in which we got to get on rides and watched various shows. Here is a clip of a few of us taking the ride called “Big Thunder.”
Graduate Student Welcome Night Video – Calvin Lab
Here is the first video that we made for IGSM for the 2004 Graduate Student Welcome Night. Hope none of you ever get an email from your adviser asking you to work on something that is due the next morning. The laboratory scenes are pretty cool. You didn’t think labs can be so awesome right? And wow, what is the Van Dyke method? Well hope you enjoy it.
Don’t forget to leave a comment about how you liked the video. Do you have a secret bin to help you out in a bind? Hope to see you this Friday.
Graduate Student Welcome Night Video – Secret Agent
Here is the video that we saw this past Friday at the Graduate Student Welcome Night. We made this video for 2006 and 2007 Graduate Student Welcome Nights. Don’t you think Jesse looks so young in this video? And Shufei and Karen are just so cool looking especially as they execute their secret operation to take the paper from Jungmo – poor Jungmo didn’t have a chance. Click Read More to view the video.
By the way, just in case you are wondering, the video mentions ISM several times. In 2009, we changed our name from ISM to IGSM (adding graduate to international student ministry) because we found out that there is another group named ISM and since they came first, we wanted to respect that. Also, adding graduate student really reflects the make up of our group. Anyways, hope you enjoy the video and see you this Friday for the third and final Graduate Student Welcome Night (hint there will be another video).
