Rich, your ministry at our National camp a few years back was so inspiring! And you got it. Danielle and Steve also brought us out of our comfort zones, into worship with God. I'll never forget the night the "townies" came from Metro to see what was going on. What a night!

Thanks Rich!

Thanks for coming to Compassion Australia! We were so blessed by your performances. You truly have a wonderful gift from God.

Often you see performances and they look rehearsed or like the performers are bored or just going through the routine. I know you must have done these ones many times before...

Hey Rich and Joyce, thanks for your ministry to and with us in Sydney. You guys get it, live it, and give it - can't ask for much more than that.
Blessings and all that,

Our roomies at MasterWorks just turned us on to the work of Graham Cooke.

He said that the nature of God never changes, but He's completely unpredictable. As humans our nature changes like the wind, but we're always predictable.

By connecting to the Creator, we can have a more consistent na...

I'm here in Boca Raton, Florida, to do a public speaking workshop with Graceworks ( http://GraceworksInc.com).

We flew into the West Palm Beach Airport and had some extra time, so we drove down a stretch of Highway A-1A. Though right on the beach we couldn't see the ocean through the mansions, excep...

I got to do the first call to worship for the year at our church, Westchester Chapel. I happened upon Exodus 40:1-3 in my daily reading a few days ago. I shouldn't have come to it until February, but I'm glad I read it early.

First date of the year: Gulliver’s Travels Movie. Buyah! Great fun; super message. The kind of film that inspired me as a kid to set my sites on big things.

At tonight's New York City screening of A Christmas Snow people stuck around talking until the guard shut us down. Nico Boccio, who's been an actor for decades, said he thinks it's going to be a sleeper. He said, "Give it five years or so and it's going to be another It's a Wonderful Life."...

In 2003 our pastor, Jim Warren, and I wrote a kids' book which he illustrated:  Thomas Tornado Tinglehoop and the Three Christmas Clues.  Though the book is out of print, I'm going to bring it back to life by performing the story with the illustrations splashed on the screen behind me.

Joyce and I got to see a Christmas concert Saturday night with monologues of a shepherd dealing with who he was in the scheme of life and in light of, well, Light.

After screening A Christmas Snow at our church, Westchester Chapel, there were so many positive comments. One woman said she thought it would just be a sweet little Christmas film, but didn't expect it to be so powerful. Another woman went through the cast list saying she identified with so many o...
