An Unexpected Lunch: a brush with history

Something I've grown to appreciate lately is the ability to be spontaneous and enjoy a particular moment that the Lord brings my way.  I had a chance to do this recently with my friend Dom Carola.  Dom is the director as we have been re-dubbing a much better English version of the Archivo Cero project that we had worked on in 2010 and 2011 (Dom was the director of that animated project and I was the producer). We were going to meet for lunch to discuss Archivo Cero, but as we met Dom mentioned that he was invited at the spur of the moment to see a vintage WWII C47 land at the Fantasy of Flight museum not far from Orlando.  So we changed our lunch plans, did our meeting in the car and headed down to see this plane land... Dom has done work for the owner, Kermit Weeks, and Kermit was up in the plane flying it to his museum.  Apparently it had been restored by the Onasis family and Kermit had acquired it in Europe.  But he had to go to great pains to fly it home since c47'

Just a quick report, but this is the group that met during the meeting I asked you to pray for.  Most of us are in Jesus Film representing various areas that relate to this project, but we flew in Zach from Budapest (3rd from left), Karl from Hong Kong (4th from right) and Andy (2nd from right) who normally serves in Japan (he's on furlough right now).  We were meeting to consider the use of My Last Day in ministry and how to make it more effective, and what other anime pieces might be needed - based on the dialog recordings we already use in the JESUS film. In this picture we are hearing form Karl about mobile device use in Asia and some of the creative ways people are using to present the gospel using media and images.  The rather suprising conslusion (at least to me) was that what is needed is an app for smart devices (like iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets) that combines My Last Day (and a new anime piece) with an interactive gosepl media presentation (based on

The next chapter...Jesus anime 2.0

Many people have been asking what's next?  We've worked on web episodes of  "Escaping the System" for the last 2 years and before that My Last Day on Earth .  What's next?  What are you doing now? That's a good question. First, let me say that I've pondered a bit over my last 25 years with Campus Crusade for Christ (soon to officially be called Cru here in the U.S.).  I have spent all 25 of these years working for just one ministry - the Jesus Film Project.  And I've wondered, why have I stayed?  Am I just so uncreative that I can't think of anywhere else to go.  Many people have multiple careers in that time.  Well, I actually have had several careers in that time. When I first came in 1986, it was just me, Tom Dennen and Mike Milchling in 2 rooms in San Bernardino with a bunch of tape machines.  Yes, magnetic audio and video tape.  The PC was in the second generation (the 80286) and the Mac was just barely 2 years old.  I was trained to lip-
