The Twins

Twin: a person or thing that is exactly like another.

February 1st, many years ago, Siainiu Liu Katina gave birth to John and James affectionately known in the home as, “The Twins”. Mom used to dress them exactly alike. They continued this practice on their own all the way up until middle school. They were connected at the hip to say the least. They are both passionate about their families. Both of them love the Steelers, the Lakers and the USC Trojans. They love fried chicken and rice. Most importantly, they love Jesus with all of their heart. No question, they share a special bond that continues to grow even at the mature age of…….We’ll let them share that on their own blog.

Although they are twins, contrary to what Mr. Webster says, those that know them well would agree that they are NOT exactly like the other. Yes, they share many common interests. However, both of them are remarkable in their own distinct ways. Perhaps at another time, we’ll share with you some of those unique differences.

James and John, we honor you today. You have been an inspiration to so many. You each represent what it means to be loyal, faithful, consistent, hard working, obedient, true and loving. It has been a blessing to watch you become husbands, Dads and the men of God that you are. Thank you for using your own life experiences to bring hope to those of us that live with you, those that work with you and to the Kuzins from all over the world who’ve grown to love you.

We love you both. You each hold a special place in all of our hearts. We thank you for teaching us what it means to “prefer one another”, while remaining strong as a unit. You’ve taught us all, “That even though we’re different, we’re the same”!

Happy Birthday Twins!

We love you,

Chrissy, Jackson, Dylan, Haylee, Rylee, Sharee, Zion, Jett, River, Steele, Blaze and the rest of us

Pics From The K5 & Kuzins Cruise 2012

The Katinas & Kuzins Cruise 2012 will definitely go down as our best cruise event, yet. 300 Kuzins came from all around the world for 4 days of fellowship, food, fun, concerts, devotions & so much more. The best part was the many friendships that were made between the Kuzins. Next year’s cruise to The Bahamas promises to be just as spectacular and we hope that many of you will be able to join us.

Merry Christmas

Standing in the post office line yesterday I overheard this conversation:
 
Mom:  We’ve gotta get home and clean the house before Santa comes.
Boy:  Why do we need to clean the house for Santa?
Mom: Because we don’t want him to trip over stuff and sprain his ankle.  We need to make sure he doesn’t get hurt.
Boy: That would be terrible!  Let’s go home right now and clean up!  We need to make sure that other kids get there presents from Santa too!
 
As you celebrate Christmas, make certain that there’s room for Jesus in your home.  May His PEACE be the presence that fills the atmosphere of every square foot.  May His birth in your heart be the greatest gift of JOY you’ve ever received.  May His cross be the tree that reminds you of His FORGIVENESS. May His resurrection be a constant encouragement to you that you’re an OVERCOMER!  
 
ISAIAH 9:6
For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  
 
Happy Birthday Jesus!  Come and live in our homes.

Happy Thanksgiving

What are you thankful for this year?

A Quick July Update

It’s been 2 weeks since our new record “Collage” has been out and the response has been incredible. We want to thank our Kuzins from all over the world for your generous support and also for taking it upon yourselves to get the word out. YOU are our distribution company and marketing team, so “thank you, thank you, thank you”!

During release week, we were in Auckland, New Zealand for several concerts. The highlight was seeing 2777 people commit their lives to Christ during a Harvest Crusade with Greg Laurie. It was a historic event for the entire nation. This is our 15th year of working with Harvest. It has been an incredible blessing. From Auckland, we flew to Los Angeles, California and had the opportunity to hang out and lead worship for 1000 young athletes for the entire weekd. It was awesome to say the least. We partnered with our friend Miles McPherson and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Some of our own kids were in attendance so it was extra special for us to be a part of the camp. Hundreds of students surrendered their lives to Jesus and many of them made a commitment to sexual purity. It was one of those life-changing moments.

Our first radio single, “Home” is going for “ADDS” this week. This means that radio stations all over the country now have the song. The hope is that they’ll add it into their regular rotation. Be listening out for it. We are also preparing for a fall tour, “Welcome to the Collage”. Other than our annual Christmas tour, this will be the first time in years that we’ve been on a “tour” of our own. We are excited about seeing our Kuzins from all over as well as the possibilities of going to new cities. Hopefully, yours will be one of them.

We pray that the rest of your summer will be relaxing and enjoyable. Remember that it’s just as important to “Play hard” as it is to “Pray hard”. In the midst of everything going on in your life, take time out to listen to what God is saying. He’s always speaking. If you haven’t heard Him lately, here’s a little reminder…He loves you! He loves you very much! He’s saying that everyday!
