Appreciated Beyond the Chariots
I got a note from Marty Woods, the founder of www.France1Million.world, motivating a million prayers for France. I got to interview him about it. You can watch that here, and we'll be leading people in prayer for the initiative today at 12:15 p.m. Eastern. You can find details of how to join at www.RichDrama.com/blog/post/Prayer.
Earlier I shared how I portrayed Eric Liddell reading from Isaiah 40 behind the pulpit he used 100 years after he preached there. It was Marty who took us to lunch that day and encouraged me to add it.
He gave me permission to share his note with you...
Begin forwarded message:
Rich,
I keep thinking of you, the play, the fact we have met finally and how you appreciate Eric as much as I do.
And then how much I enjoyed and appreciated Saturday. It was such a special time.
I was moved by how you used Isaiah 40 in the afternoon. My guess around the very moment that Eric was speaking 100 years ago…and you did his Scottish accent!
A friend wrote to me…”It is crazy to think all this happened from one decision.” The power of our decisions for good can leave such an impact on people’s lives.
It was his willingness for complete surrender and his offensive of love.
Rich, you captured Eric so well. Your love and respect for him shone through. You are such a talented actor - you live the roles you play.
I thought the script was clever, tight and extremely well put together. I appreciated each twist and turn. I stayed on to see it again. I was impressed with how you sang the Paradox song on 2 different occasions- such a clever contrast.
There were so many clever lines that showed you have lived with this for so long and you really knew him.
And brother your accents are amazing…they never felt awkward. You are very talented.
What also moved me too was how you and the lovely Joyce have come over with your own money to share this gift with Christians and not yet believers across Europe. It was a total privilege meeting you brother.
Cheers,
Marty
