Long hours with a sweet reward

Zack has been a big help

Zack has been a big help

This week we are in the studio with a very special Egyptian Evangelist, doing the Arabic version of Open the Bible: the Gospels (OTB). I’m very happy to be creating content for people in their heart language and also really please to have our MA staff so actively involved in making it happen.

Tyler Gibson, (our son) has been taking the lead for all the audio/Voice over narration. It has been a big challenge for him but he has stepped up equal to the challenge.

Zack Brackman, has also taken on a huge responsibility in the editing room and has done a stellar job of organizing and editing the content

Mike Winters, who is new with us is an amazing servant helping with make-up, time charting and doing the clapper in the studio.

Joel Arrellanes brings 10 years of professional TV experience to the project which makes this very special.

More then anything else, knowing that what we do today, will carry the witness of Christ to literally millions of people in the Arabic speaking world via internet and TV broadcast makes the long hours a sweet and delightful investment. Your investment in us is the icing on the cake!

Just a thought on my way out the Door

I’m on my way to Slovenia in the morning to meet with Broadcasters in Europe. Pray it will have some divine appointments along the way.

I spoke this past sunday at the Madrid International Church. It was a really good time. I watched in peoples eyes as I spoke about a Jesus who surprises us by doing the unexpected thing. This teaching from John Chapter 5 really focuses on Jesus’ question to the lame man. “Do you want to be healed?” Better asked, “Are you ready to change?” The thought of change, even long desired change, can look nice from a distance but down right scary!

A Business axiom states “the best predictor of future behavior is past performance.” Now, I want you to know, I believe this to be true for everyone else but not for myself!” I don’t want to believe that what I have always done, I will always do. I need to believe that I am capable of change, of growth, of improvement. The truth is without Jesus showing up, we have little hope of real change on our own.

So I’m looking to Jesus to keep working in me just as he promised he and the Father would! John 5:17.

This week at IMM

Prayer makes the difference often times between activity and ministry. It has been said, all ministry is God’s ministry. That if anything “ministers” then by definition it is because God is in the background of it. I will be posting an updated Vlog from time to time to ask you to pray about those things happening in real-time at IMM. Here is the first of more to come. Thanks for standing with us!
