Purpose driven police

This church, Christ Commission Fellowship, is gathering for its annual anniversay celebration. They started 24 years ago in a living room. They usually meet around Manila in smaller fellowships. None of the pastors take a salary, so that they don't attract ministers for the wrong reason.

The Chief o...

a YMCA destroyed by the Japanese

The Japanese knew all the strategic buildings (even those underground) because they'd been selling concrete to the US military on Corrigedor as early as 1905.

"I have a job to do"

Our 72-year old tour guide on our catamaran to Corregidor asked God what to do with the rest of his life, and he realized that he had lived in the time of US occupation and WWII. He said, "I have a job to do," to tell people about his nation and it's connection to WWII.

"We speak Amer...

Back from Beijing

From Beijing '08

I'm now in Hong Kong, and Joyce and Ava are safely back in New York. We had an AMAZING time.

We had our tickets ripped up just before we stepped onto the plane. Before we totally freaked out they printed new boarding passes, which put us in first class! Hurrah! That came in serious...

This was the theme song for the countdown to the Olympics, and the same composer is working on the soundtrack for our upcoming docudrama about Eric Liddell.

Out of 90,000 seats

The fellow sitting in front of me at the Beijing Olympics was working his iPhone, so I asked him how it was working in China. He said great, and we struck up a conversation. We asked each other where the other was from, and when he heard I was from Southern Oregon he said that his friend's wife had...

Moving to NYC

Amazon.com Widgets

I'm often asked for advice from young actors about moving to New York City. In today's New York Times there's an article about the process: Finding Your First Apartment.

Here are some other pieces of advice:

Sign up at Manhattan Plaza now. It offers subsidized housing for those w...

Olympic Gold Medalist

We ran into Marlene Velthaus, whose swim relay won gold for the Netherlands.

On our day at the Bird's Nest Stadium we sat two rows behind Dutch fans. We told them congratulations because we'd watched their team win gold in water polo while getting ready to leave early that morning. They informed us ...

Can we have a picture with you?

Our guide said the mother of these girls asked if she could take a picture of them with Joyce and Ava.

Tonight we're a little over an hour away from the thick crowds of downtown Hong Kong. Tomorrow we prep for what's to come.

Touring Macao

Macao was settled by Portuguese, so in addition to Portugese on most signs there is also a very European feel to much of the architecture. I'll post more photos when I can get online with my laptop. This was posted from my Treo.

MasterWorks Macao

Last night, after our presentation, we visited Charmaine Hunter at The Venetian. It's the largest resort of its kind in the world. It's on an island south of Macao, and it has Venice in miniature in its mall area.

Charmaine said how much she missed MWF ( http://MasterWorksFestival.org ) this year an...

More Filipinos

The event went well last night, and our outreach to Filipinos in this region continued, as many in the hosting group were from the north of the Philippines.

Heading for Macao

We're now way out in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor and we have strong cell signal, so I'll report that we're well on our way to Macao now.

Tonight we're going to present our documentary, Olympic Hero in China: The Story of Eric Liddell, and afterward I'll speak.

Busiest/densest

We heard that Hong Kong has the busiest harbor and densest population on earth. We thought Singapore held the first record and Manhattan (though not NYC) the second, so don't quote us.

We're not overly concerned as we take a ferry to a nearby beach.
