Survived the typhoon

Yes, I'm safe, and the typhoon cancelled my first engagement, which actually helped me adjust to this time zone in a bit more leisurely fashion. I was doing fine all day, and then at 8pm it hit me and lo, I was dead to the world. That's about the time I would have been engaged in conversation after...

Olympic Hero in China: The Eric Liddell Story

From Hong Kong '08

Though our dramatizations won't be completed until the fall due to
the difficulty of film permits during and immediately after the
Olympics, Good News Communication completed our documentary about Eric Liddell.

I'm staying at the YMCA of Hong Kong, where I'll perform my play
about ...

That's not smog

From Hong Kong '08

A typhoon hit this area just before I landed, so it's sort of working its way to calm this morning.

No window seat this time

From Hong Kong '08

Our flight was oversold, so I was thrilled to just get a seat. Since I only took this one shot from an emergency door I decided to repost the note and photo below from the last trip here in January 2007...

Now the sun's coming up over Russia. Besides the lack of technology, this mi...

Our new night light

I was at MasterWorks when Joyce moved us (along with friends and a moving company) into Manhattan Plaza. One night she said, "We have a new night light." Now, we check with each other whenever we make purchases of over $100, so I was thinking, "What kind of night light did she buy?...

JBH on youtube

I just received the following note from the producers of Judah Ben Hur. I played about five minor roles in the Singapore production, including Pontius Pilate and Simonides.

It has such a phenomenal message!

Please help us increase our hit rate ...

Early in the week Timothy Bentch came to me and asked if I could develop a dramatic piece on the theme of embracing the Lord's discipline. Later in the week Pat Kavanaugh, director of the festival called to see if the theatre department had an offering. I had so many details on my mind I'd forgotten...

Two great conductors

I was blessed to see these two world-class conductors, David Bowden and Andrew Sewell, praying together at the last meal of MasterWorks.

It epitomized the theme I've seen this year as artists have shared the spotlight. John Kirby was willing to let me direct our play before he got there. We double c...

#1 version

John Kirby and his assistant Nathan Nesbitt are here at MasterWorks now. Nathan said Word of Promise, on which John coached the actors, is now the best selling version of the Bible! John has directed the youth version of the New Testament and acted in the adult version of the Old Testament.

Honors

Harvey Johnson coached our theatre students for the honors recital tonight. Brandon Langeland played Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in a scene from Peter Shaffer's Amadeus.

Brandon is in the post-college division. Lydia and Kaelen, pictured below, are in high school and college, respectively.

He Quiets Wild Hearts

Kaelen Zirbel portrayed a jaguar, turned pussy cat, in a piece she conceived. It's a parable of how humans can't change our nature without God's Grace. Powerful!
