AsSalt Tour &
Stephen Baldwin
Stevie B brings his
Breakthough Ministry
to Arizona
By LeeAnn Sharpe
If a child hasn’t
had an introduction
to the spiritual
experience by the
time they graduate
high school, it’s
unlikely he will
ever have the
opportunity as an
adult. Stephen
Baldwin and the
Breakthrough
Ministry are working
to give hundreds of
thousands of young
people the
opportunity to be
“born again” in a
fun and exciting
way. They use
extreme sports as
the draw and rock
music and youthful
speakers to deliver
the message. The
idea is that a
youngster who has
made a commitment to
Christ will turn
away from violence,
drugs and sex and
lead a righteous
life.
Stephen Baldwin,
born
May 12,
1966 in
Massapequa, NY,
is an
American actor,
best known by adults
for his roles in the
1995 film
The Usual Suspects
or his TV Series the
Young Riders
(1989-1992). But the
kids know him as
Barney Rubble from
The Flintstones in
Viva Rock Vegas
(2000), team captain
Sean Linden in Slap
Shot 2 (2002) and
Doyle in Bio-Dome
(1996). Baldwin
credits his role in
Bio-Dome with his
popularity among the
kids he seeks to
reach today. They
flock to him as if
he’s one of them.
He’s the narley
skateboarding,
hockey playing, kid
on the street out
having fun.
The youngest of the
acting
Baldwin brothers,
with brothers
Daniel,
William, and
Alec, Stephen
had a religious
conversion after
Sept 11, 2001. He
gave up smoking,
stopped drinking.
His wife, Kennya,
had been a devoutly
practicing Christian
for several years
when he had an
epiphany. Their
nanny from Brazil
had made a
prediction back in
1993, that Stephen
and his wife would
have a ministry, and
her prediction has
come to pass.
Baldwin directed and
produced
Livin' It and
Livin' It LA
films that focus on
Christian athletes
involved in extreme
sports and
evangelism after his
2003 experience in
Ft Lauderdale with
the Luis Palau
Ministry and Kevin
Palau. The goal was
to distribute 20,000
videos but in the
first 6 months they
sold 50,000 and to
date over 200,000.
They also did a 100
city skateboarding
tour. Through small
parking lot
skateboarding
gatherings they have
already brought the
message to over
100,000 young
people.
His Breakthrough
Ministry, begun in
January 2007 in San
Diego, features
skateboarding and
extreme sports,
Christian rock
concerts, laser
light shows and
fireworks. The hope
is to use culturally
relevant tools to
reach the youth of
America. They are
calling it the AsSalt Tour with a
December 15th event
in Phoenix’s
Veterans Memorial
Coliseum. The
mainstream Christian
rock group P.O.D.
(Payable on Death)
will perform. Their
song Alive was the
theme for the Winter
Olympics and their
music has been
included in many
popular movies and
tv shows. Stars of
Skateboarding,
including Christian
Hosoi, Brian Sumner,
Andre Genovesi and
Josh Kasper will
perform. BMX
Freestyle, X Games
Gold Medalist Bruce
Crisman and Dew Tour
Vert Finalist Mike
Mancuso will be
there too. Showing
off his God given
talent in Extreme
Freestyle Motocross
will be 3007 X Games
Gold Medalist for
“Best New Trick”
Kyle Loza , plus
many more
performances,
choreographed laser
lights and
pyrotechnics are all
promised with jumbo-trons
broadcasting the
action up close. And
admission is free,
first come first
served basis. They
will also have a car
Show and Hip-Hop
Show live in the
parking lot.
Baldwin will play
host to the action.
He says, “For me.
Being born again was
the most awesome
thing that has ever
happened in my life,
and I had a pretty
awesome life
already.” His book
“The Unusual
Suspect” details his
life and conversion
to faith made it
onto the
New York Times
bestseller list.
The AsSalt Tour’s
purpose is to
“Pierce the darkened
hearts of today’s
youth with the light
of Christ.” It has
become obvious that
the youth of today
are not being
reached in an
effective or truly
relevant way. The
Breakthrough
believes this is
unacceptable and
will now take the
necessary action to
reach a lost
generation.
The passion of the
Breakthrough
Ministry is to see
the youth of the
world become
empowered and set
free, so they can
make better choices
and become the
world-changers that
God intended them to
be. Baldwin says,
“We believe the
greatest way to
ensure the future of
America is the rest
of the world is to
evangelize the youth
today.”
When he first became
involved in
ministering to the
youth of America, he
asked that they not
call it a “ministry”
because that would
be the kiss of death
for his career in
Hollywood. But there
was no other way to
describe what he was
doing. It was a
ministry. When he
realized the
prophesy his
Brazilian nanny
foretold had come to
fruition he
experienced the most
powerful moment in
his life. And so far
it seems to have had
a positive impact on
his life. The phone
rings off the hook
offering him more
work than ever.
With over 60 movies
in his career
Baldwin has made a
pretty good living
as an actor. In
2002, he
participated in “Celebrity
Mole Hawaii”,
the first celebrity
edition of “The
Mole”. ABC
broadcast the
reality show in
early 2003. Later
that year he
returned for “Celebrity
Mole Yucatan”,
which ABC aired in
early 2004. In 2004,
he became the host
of another reality
show “Scare
Tactics”, which
was broadcast on The
Sci Fi Channel.
In 2006, Baldwin
starred in “The
Genius Club” for
writer/director
Tim Chey. The
film is about seven
geniuses who try
to solve the world's
problems in a single
night. In
August 2007, he
was back on
television when
CMT cast Baldwin
in
Ty Murray’s
“Celebrity Bull
Riding Challenge”.
He was among nine
celebrities cast on
the show. In the
first episode,
Baldwin was injured
after taking a bad
fall from a bull,
breaking his
shoulder blade and
cracking a rib.
In contrast to his
brothers Alec and
William, who are
noted Democrats and
avid Bush opponents,
Stephen is a Bush
supporter. Calling
himself an
Independent, Baldwin
makes occasional
appearances with
Republican political
figures and, in
April 2007, was a
special White House
guest for the annual
White House Egg
Roll.
“People constantly
ask me for details
of my "Damascus
Road" experience
(see Acts 9) that
made me give my life
to Jesus Christ.
Most assume I hit
bottom and had
nowhere else to
turn. They're
wrong.” For more of
the story read his
book “The Unusual
Suspect”.
Breakthrough Radio
airs Sundays
12pm-1pm on 1360AM
KPXQ. They advertise
“This ain’t your
grandma’s radio
show” gearing the
message to the young
people, taking calls
and sharing their
message of faith.
A website with
incredible music and
graphics attracts
young people looking
for a connection at
http://www.stephenbaldwin.com/break4.htm.
The AsSalt Tour is
just a part of his
ministry. The Tour
will hit Phoenix,
Chicago, Dallas and
Nashville.

The 330 Youth
Movement gives kids
a direction.
Stephen Baldwin’s
first and final
words at a recent
luncheon here in
Phoenix at North
Christian Baptist
Church were, “I’m on
a very powerful
journey that’s
extremely fun for me
and I’m inviting you
to join me, but I’m
going with or
without you.”

Who Will be
Arizona’s Next
Millionaire?
Fall 2007 Raffle:
Cash, Cars & More –
Grand Prize: $1
million cash
Proceeds to benefit
St. Joseph’s
Hospital and Barrow
Neurological
Institute
How would $1 million
change your life?
Perhaps you would
purchase a new home
and take a dream
vacation to Hawaii,
like the Gilbert
mother of two,
Yvette Sandoval, did
after winning Grand
Prize #1 in the
Spring 2007 Health &
Wealth Raffle. Or,
maybe you would
invest in real
estate and decide
that from this point
forward, you would
only fly First
Class. That’s what
Sun City resident
Ellen Lawrence did.
She won the $1
million Grand Prize
in the Fall 2005
Raffle.
The Fall 2007 Health
& Wealth Raffle has
returned with your
chance to be
Arizona’s next
millionaire. The
Ninth Health &
Wealth Raffle since
2003 is still the
nation’s largest
Raffle with more
than 9,000 prizes
relating to this
Raffle’s theme:
Cash, Cars & More.
Proceeds support
patient care,
medical education,
and research at St.
Joseph’s Hospital
and Medical Center
and its
internationally-renowned
Barrow Neurological
Institute.
“Each time you
purchase a Health &
Wealth Raffle
ticket, you are
helping Arizona win
with improved
healthcare
services,” says Mary
Jane Crist, Chief
Executive Officer of
St. Joseph’s
Foundation and
Barrow Neurological
Foundation. “Many
Raffle winners have
shared stories about
how their lives
changed after
winning a big prize.
But, it is even more
rewarding to hear
from patients who
credit our doctors,
researchers and
staff for saving
their lives. Raffle
dollars help us
provide this level
of exceptional
care.”
How exactly does
the Health & Wealth
Raffle benefit
Arizona? Consider
these facts: Raffle
dollars help St.
Joseph’s and Barrow
stay at the leading
edge of medicine.
U.S. News & World
Report consistently
names Barrow on its
Top-10 list for
neurology and
neurosurgery. St.
Joseph’s Trauma
Center is the only
trauma center in
Arizona with
prestigious Level
One verification
from the American
College of Surgeons
(ACS), national
confirmation that
St. Joseph’s is
staffed and equipped
to care for all
kinds of
life-threatening
injuries. While
other hospitals in
Arizona may be Level
One trauma centers,
St. Joseph’s is the
only hospital that
has undergone the
demanding ACS
verification
process.
St. Joseph’s is
vital to people’s
health throughout
the state because it
serves as a referral
center for complex
medical problems.
Raffle dollars help
fund projects and
services in the
Trauma Center, the
new Heart & Lung
Institute, the
Children’s Health
Center, Barrow
Neurological
Institute and many
other areas. Raffle
dollars have helped
to fund nearly 100
research projects at
St. Joseph’s and
Barrow. Raffle
proceeds are funding
research into
diseases such as
stroke, Parkinson’s,
Alzheimer’s, brain
tumors, trauma,
heart disease and
genetic disease.
Health & Wealth
Raffle Manager Kathy
Rice says it takes
just one ticket to
win big, and after
four years, she can
attest that most of
the Grand Prize
winners have
purchased only one
ticket or one
multi-pack of
tickets. “Real
people really do
win. I’m looking
forward to
congratulating
Arizona’s next new
millionaire!” she
said.
While the prizes
attract some
participants, Rice
says the majority of
people she speaks
with enter because
of the cause. “It is
fun to dream, but
even if you don’t
win, you’ll be part
of an amazing
project that could
someday help you or
your loved ones. You
never know when you
may need the
specialized care
provided at St.
Joseph’s and
Barrow,” she says.
Only 162,500 tickets
will be sold in the
Fall 2007 Raffle:
single tickets are
$100, and a limited

“Fiddler on the
Roof” opened on
Broadway on
September 22, 1964
and ran for 3,242
performances. This
adaptation is based
on the book by
Joseph Stein. “I
love Fiddler for
it’s rich music,
worldly themes, and
mostly for it’s
traditions,” said
Surloff. “The last
line at the end of
the song Tradition,
quoted by Tevye,
sums it up: Without
our traditions, our
lives would be as
shaky as…as a
fiddler on the
roof.”

Michael Crawford Peoria KIA By LeeAnn Sharpe
“I wanta see ya in a KIA,” is the catch phrase you hear from Peoria KIA General Manager and 20% owner Michael Crawford. He dramatically inflects his voice to extremes so it catches your attention and stays with you. It’s an effective marketing tool because kids are out there mimicking him and adults are saying “who is that guy?” Families come to his showroom on Saturday enthusiastically coaxing him to say his slogan.
Born in South Chicago, raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Crawford moved to the Valley in 1979 and has been in the car business ever since. Mel Clayton Chevrolet was where he started. He’s been at Peoria Kia for the last 4 years.
Michael Crawford is everywhere these days; TV commercials, infomercials, magazines, newspapers and radio. He’s even in negotiations with Bravo producers to make a reality tv show about his life. As the pitch man for Peoria Kia you wonder if this smiling, fast talking, car salesman is really as upbeat all the time as he seems, or is it his stage persona. He says, “I’m like this 24/7.”
And he really does seem to be the real deal. His employees and customers all seem to love the guy. He gets hugs every time he walks the showroom floor with incredible energy and a charismatic personality.
A family man, Crawford is married to Gloria and they have fraternal twin daughters Giovanna and Makalya. He lights up when he talks about his girls. He works 80-85 hours a week these days, so his family time is private and special.
The first thing Michael Crawford will tell you is he’s out to break the mold when it comes to the stereotypical perception of “car salesman”. He wants his salesman to be respected and loved and happy. So that’s how he trains them to treat the customers, with respect. My bottom line is 100% customer satisfaction.
“I really want to hit home about how some auto dealers use deceptive advertising promises. What they say or put down in print, they really need to back it up. We need to change the perception of automotive dealers,” His goal is to get the industry to accept truth in advertising. Double rebates and other false advertising claims are bad for the industry. Crawford fires off, “When they say they will double the rebate, you can’t do that! Please, you are smarter than that! People know the truth. That’s misleading.”
“What I guarantee is there isn’t a soul on this earth who will work harder to get you behind the wheel of a brand new or pre-owned Kia at a price you can afford. Is that a guarantee I can get you approved. No. But what that’s doing is that it doesn’t matter if you have been surrounded by unfortunate circumstances. I’m gonna look at you as we are all equal. A lot of people are looked down on because of their situation. Other dealers run their credit and walk away from them and won’t even listen to their stories. They don’t care.” He trains his sales staff to treat the customer with respect, listen to their story and work hard to get them what they need to achieve customer satisfaction.
Crawford tells his employees in motivational sales meetings “Do you understand that it’s already in the books. Let me go deep with you. A lot of people can’t get this in their mind. God knew you before you were in your mother’s womb. It’s all there in the cards. You just gotta want it. You can have a higher IQ than I do, the difference is I want it more, so I will succeed. I get up every morning working for the best corporation in the world. It’s me incorporated. I’m the CEO, President, Vice-President. So what’s my stock worth? I have a game plan. I come to work everyday and whatever I do is better than I did yesterday. I know I have the God given talent. All I need is the application. The difference is I just want it more. Are you willing to sacrifice to get there? I was always willing to sacrifice to get to the top, as long as no one else got hurt.”
“My number one goal in life is to be wealthy enough to not have to work and spend all the time I possibly can with my children and truly be the best father that I am capable of being. And I can help all those people in need, truly in need. I have given away thousands of dollars and cars and other things to people truly in need.”
Crawford broadcasts a program direct from his “The Hello Arizona Studio” right in the Peoria Kia showroom every Saturday 1-3pm on KPXQ the Christian Radio station. He says, “They decided I was perfect for their programming. The radio station, they also own a sports radio station, sales rep was trying to get me to advertise and I didn’t want it. He kept talking to me and he called one Sunday morning and had seen my infomercial and I had been working with this black woman who had a low credit score. She had been disrespected at other dealerships. They looked down on her like a triple minority because she was black, and a woman, and had low credit score. Then she heard I was a Christian and decided she should go see me. I worked hard to get her approved. And she jumped up and cried and cried so happy when we got her a deal. And she says Michael, Jesus sent me to you!” So this sales rep went to his people and said this guy would be great on the Christian radio show and they had a time slot open. Michael felt he had a sign that God wanted him to reach out to more people. So now he’s on the radio.
“This woman was disrespected by several other dealerships. It’s not her fault she had been in an bad situation. She has six kids and her husband ran off with the car because he’s a crack head. She can’t get to work. I worked really hard to get her a car. Love thy neighbor. That’s what it’s all about. If everyone would just love their neighbor think of how the world would be,” Crawford continues. “If you have the ability to help them, if more people truly “loved thy neighbor” we wouldn’t be sending these young men to Iraq before they have an opportunity to father a child. It’s so sad that they lose their life before they have the blessing of a child.”
His face reflects a real concern for the people in need. He talks about what he feels is right from his experience for his audience. This past week the topic was “I am who I am because of Him.” A recent customer experience had impacted him. A man of wealth had the impression he was all that. Crawford wanted to remind us all where our true wealth resides and from Whom it comes.
Crawford’s ministry is without any divinity training. He worries about ministry training, that it’s about raising money. “I’m getting the word out there because He wants me to. He propels me into action. Sometime I say something and I think, I didn’t mean to say that. I had stuff prepared to talk about and I got totally off that. It just came out. And it came out great. That’s the Holy Spirit baby!”
“When you are in the corporate world and I try to make everyone believe as I do, I can’t do that. Will I let you know I’m a Christian? Yeah! You can see in my show room the sign on the broadcasting studio. But I don’t try to sell you my beliefs. The reality of it is, just be real. That works for me. I’m just me. The moves I make reflect my beliefs and my faith. When I talk, I talk with all of the happiness from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, and people see how my faith is real and how my faith is reflect in how I treat people. My door is always open. I give my cell phone number out for anyone to call me directly. I talk the talk and walk the walk.” When have you ever heard of a GM handing out his personal phone number?
Being a Christian prevents Crawford from doing anything deceptive in advertising. It prevents him from worrying about the money. “It’s not just about the money. It helps me stay with my mission statement that it’s about total customer satisfaction. Now no matter how hard you work, you won’t be able to satisfy everybody. You just won’t. You as a businessman can’t always do it. But I’ll tell you one thing. As long as you tried every single morning you will build a name people respect. First phase, you build a name, and second phase, you work to keep it. You don’t ever sway from those values, that faith. Never compromise yourself. Have those principles and values. Customer satisfaction has to be worth more to you than anything else.”
So what does the future bring for Michael Crawford and Peoria Kia? “In another year or two we would like to open another store or two here in the Valley.” (We includes majority owner Dana Moore.) And whatever He (the big boss upstairs) wants me to do. Right now I am doing what He wants me to do.”
The 2.9 acre Peoria Kia dealership is at 91st Avenue just North of Bell Road It’s the #1 Kia dealership in Arizona and #3 in the world. Michael Crawford works hard to keep it that way!
One last question he asked, “If you were guaranteed Heaven would you go right now?” Think about it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________3rd Annual Slide Rock State Park Apple Festival
The Arizona State Parks Foundation celebrates the 3rd Annual Slide Rock Apple Festival on October 6th-7th, 2007 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Slide Rock State Park. The park is just north of Sedona in Oak Creek Canyon. This year on Saturday, the Apple Festival will feature Arizona State Parks' 50th anniversary with dignitaries and a cake cutting under the big tent at 11 AM. Both days of the Apple Festival are free to the public.
The Park for many years was a large orchard and today is still a working commercial apple ranch producing more than 1,200 boxes of apples in 2007 in the park. Apple Festival guests will be encouraged to pick apples from the 13 varieties of trees in the park and take them home. Apple recipes can be taken from the first ever Apple Fest Cookbook featuring recipes from Arizona notables, local celebrities and other Slide Rock friends.
Frank L. Pendley arrived in the canyon in 1907 and acquired the land title as part of the Homestead Act in 1910. He put in the irrigation system and planted the apple orchard in 1912. In 1933 he built the rustic cabins seen in the park today. It was sold to the Arizona Parklands Foundation for $3.6 million in 1984 to become a State Park. An original vintage 30-foot-long apple-sorting machine reconstructed by volunteers is still in the historic Pendley apple shed. Volunteers will be demonstrating the art of sorting different sizes of apples for boxing and selling.
The Apple Festival activities will include a bird walking tour, history walk, arts and crafts, food, music, games for kids, and a silent auction benefiting the Arizona State Parks Foundation and Slide Rock State Park. Delicious apple pies and other gourmet apple delicacies will be offered for sale.
The Arizona State Parks Foundation was formed in 2004 to support the continued effort of Arizona State Parks' mission of managing and conserving Arizona natural, cultural and recreational resources for the benefit of the people.
This event is part of Arizona State Parks 50th Anniversary celebrations which began in October 2006 and will run through December 2007. Special events are held at each park such as a traditional mariachi festival, plein art shows, geocaching, solar energy celebrations and astronomy galas. Hiking, fishing, boating and mountain biking await those individuals with an adventurous attitude. Come uncover the many secret places and stories that are still to be found in Arizona's State Parks.
The Arizona State Parks Board was established in 1957 to acquire and manage park and cultural areas. Over the years, legislation has added other programs to Arizona State Parks and as a result, the volunteer Board is responsible for a much broader spectrum of duties. These duties are related to historic preservation, archaeology, outdoor recreation, resource conservation/education and grant administration.
For information about the Apple Festival, participating vendors and activities visit www.arizonastateparksfoundation.org or call (928) 282-3034. To get to Slide Rock State Park from Phoenix go North on I-17 to Hwy 179, west through Sedona to Hwy 89A north, and then seven miles up Oak Creek Canyon. From Flagstaff take Hwy 89A and go 20 miles South.

Gambling Winnings and
Losses
Your summer vacation may mean a trip to the casino or the
racetrack. What will you owe Uncle Sam if Lady Luck happens to
be on your side? “Gambling winnings are fully taxable and must
be reported on your tax return” explain Kerry Freeman, EA.
You must file Form 1040 and include all of your winnings.
Gambling income includes, among other things, winnings from
lotteries, raffles, horse races, and casinos. It includes cash
winnings and also the fair market value of prizes such as cars
and trips. You can find more information in Publication 525,
Taxable and Nontaxable Income. Anyone who pays your winnings or
awards you a prize is required to issue you a Form W-2G if your
winnings are subject to Federal income tax withholding or if
your winnings are over a certain amount.
However, all gambling winnings must be reported regardless of
whether any portion is subject to withholding. In addition, you
may be required to pay an estimated tax on your gambling
winnings. For information on tax withholding on gambling income,
refer to Publication 505, Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax.
If your luck isn’t always so good, you may deduct gambling
losses. Losses may be deducted only if you itemize
deductions and only if you also have gambling winnings.
Claim your gambling losses as a miscellaneous deduction on Form
1040, Schedule A. But remember, the losses you deduct may not
be more than the gambling income you report on your return.
Even though you may be on vacation, if you want to deduct losses
when you file your return next spring, it is important to keep
an accurate diary or similar record of your gambling winnings
and losses right now.
To
deduct your losses, you must be able to provide receipts,
tickets, statements or other records that show both your
winnings and losses. Many casino have VIP card’s and can track
your winning and losses for you. Always ask for a copy of you
account before you leave. Also keep those lottery tickets.
Mr. Freeman is your local Enrolled Agent. EA’s are the only tax
professional that are tested and licensed by the U.S. Treasury
(IRS). Mr. Freeman welcomes any questions by either stopping by
his Anthem office at 3668 W Anthem Way #A106 or by calling
623-518-2157.

* Columbus
Day is celebrated on
October 12, to
commemorate the
historic landing in the
Americas in 1492.
**All Saints' Day,
or All Hallow's Eve, began as an ancient Celtic
and later a Roman harvest festival. When the
Irish immigrated to the United States in
the1800's, they brought with them a Halloween
tradition of lighting candles in turnips to keep
spirits at bay. Finding turnips in short supply
in America, however, they began carving pumpkins
and thus the Jack-O-Lantern was born.

more boats, and known more rivermen than anyone. 7pm.

Late Nite Catechism
By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a
class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism
class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive
comedy. You better be on your best behavior, or else Sister is
likely to put you in the corner‹on stage! Every performance is
unique and will appeal to all, regardless of one¹s faith.
Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are
Guilty By Maripat
Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second
catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to
enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower
students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical
facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting
into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible.
Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her
point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused
from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are
guilty."
