My Last Day in Botswana

Here's an exciting video report that Campus Crusade for Christ staff on the college campus made about their outreaches using My Last Day.   It is a video report showing how they have been using My Last Day (our 9-minute Japanese anime film that shows the crucifixion through the eyes of the thief that was crucified with Jesus).  Not only have they been using it on campus but also with families in the community.

One of the things that excites me about this report and this use of My Last Day - is that, since the dialog used in this film comes from our existing JESUS film translations, this story could happen on almost any campus in the world in the future where My Last Day is made available - we don't have to send new voice dubbing teams to that country, the translation is already done!  Right now we have it in about 45 languages with another 90 or so in process.   I don't know the prayer 'back-story' to this story - but I'm sure God raised up a team to pray for and believe God for how they could reach their campus.  Maybe God is raising you up to pray for an unreached campus in another part of the world!!

frances goeth but whence Ivan?

We made it...but it is wet and sloppy here. This storm was a slow mover and dumped a lot of rain for the last day or two...even today now that the eye went over Tampa and is heading up toward the panhandle of Florida, the storm is so big that the eastern side of the circulation is over the whole state and bring winds from north to south with rain and thunderstorms all day. Wacky! I made a quick emergency roof repair yesterday since we were having some leaks, and now I'm back up to the roof when it stops raining to tack down some plastic over another section. We had power restored in about 12 hours so that was a real praise to the Lord. The energy crews are really on the ball here and there were already extra crews here because of Charley. Sounds like we were one of about 20% or less that got it back so soon. Now they tell us hurricane Ivan is brewing and that 'cone of probability' that weather people show keeps pointing to us again along with the East Coast and...

Nkoya speakers of Zambia

 Nan and I are excited to pray with you about the potential of helping see an Nkoya JESUS film funded and produced as part of Mission 865.  Mission 865 is the initiative here at the JESUS Film Project to complete all languages spoken by at least 50,000 people.  These next 865 languages represent some of the most unreached and remote people in the world.  But much as Jesus related the parable of the Lost Sheep , these speakers of Nkoya have not escaped His notice.   When it comes to making a new JESUS film translation, one of the greatest challenges is completing the translation of the script .  As we do smaller and smaller people groups, this challenge increases.  The reason for this is that these people groups are more remote, there is less likelihood that they even have a written language (an oral language with no formal alphabet) and they usually have no portions of scripture in their language. That is why we have had a partnership...

Jeanne, Jeanne - don't be mean

Fourth hurricane to hit Florida in a season...last time this happened to a state was Texas, back in 1868. Hurricane Jeanne is pounding us right now. After it came up the Atlantic, seemed to arc out to sea and then looped around straight at us - it came ashore on the East Coast and is looping north just below Orlando and Orange County. This means that we are getting much of the ferocity because northern and eastern sides of these storms usually pack the power because of the counter-clockwise rotation. So far, a new roof is at least 3 weeks away, but the repairs and tarps seem to be holding so far. It looks like some gutters have been ripped off the house and there is banging on the roof, but no leaks so far. Amazingly, no loss of power so far. I guess the previous 2 hurricanes that came through here knocked down all the easy targets next to power lines. Praise God! For a good perspective on how this relates to God see this .
