This past week has been crazy! I usually spend the 45 minute drive to work listening to the newest episode of Way of the Master Radio. But my mind has ben so pre occupied with the production of this Road Trip Evangelism Video that I have literally spent 90 minutes a day in silent thought. I get in these real deep mental dreams scape's of creative bliss. So much so when I got out of my car to get Gas people said...are you ok? It's not so bad. I smiled and gave them a Ten Commandment Penny.
I just want people to know that this idea is just that an idea. It started a few weeks ago when we confirmed that we would be visiting the Creation Museum. I knew I would take my camera and we would witness to a few people. But then I thought...How Far can we possible take this?
I remembered the episodes of Oprah this year (Hey! They fill my Mom's TiVo) where Oprah and Gayle went on the Road Trip across the US. Hey I thought. What if we did that with a more Kingdom mindset?
I decided to see what would happen. Now keep in mind most productions usually require months of pre-production meetings and planning. We had about two weeks and still don;t have much equipment or supplies. Just Experience.
God kind of pressed the Fast Forward button on things. I could tell that the way I spoke of the project was bigger then I actually imagined it. The confidence in it began to show. I got some support from people in my church. The doctors offices went smoothly. It has seriously been a blur this past two weeks.
I got a somewhat decent camera, I got a new microphone, I got tracts. Everything is ready to go. There is still stuff we need, but that will come later.
The most amazing part of this is deal with HisHolySpace.com...
Not only in this week has God set the steps to make a video. But he has given us a place to sell it even though it is not even done yet or even been created.
It's like having a theater ready to play your movie that doesn't exist. Clearly the result of God guiding all decisions.
I have no doubts at all that God wants me to do this trip, But now for the first time I am nervous because of it.
What has started out as a fun vacation has turned into a very serious production, where God will be glorified and should will be witnessed to. Not only that but we have people waiting for a product that has to be good.
Now in every video shoot 1,983,286 things go wrong. You just never hear about them It's terrible project ruining things could end a project. The camera could fail. The Microphone go dead. DV Tapes Break. Not to mention just getting bad video and audio that just turns out to be unusable.
So please if you are reading this comment below and let us know you are praying for us. It is a lot of responsibility that can be a serious turning point for our ministry, if the independent sales of this project go well, we may get a budget from a publisher to do some really amazing stuff, not to mention get the video distributed nationally by someone.
All of that is in God's hands of course. He is guiding everything, the people we will meet that are wiling to sign a release to be on Video. The amount of wind that blows on the microphones and even the amount of traffic on the road.
I hope it's not as easy as it's been. Maybe that's kind of sadistic. But I want a lot of thing's to go wrong. That way I can learn from them, improve and make better products without fear of not knowing what to do "Just In Case"
So please keep Transplant Ministries in your prayers and don't forget to comment below. Let us know you care, or let us know you don't.
