Thanks for All Your Prayers!

Here are some highlights from this year I realized I never posted about when they happened...

Princeton University

Since 2007 I've presented or co-presented a Graceworks workshop for the School of Architecture at Princeton. It's always such a blessing to be on that campus. At a certain point Christian Union had 400 students involved, making it one of the largest student body groups on campus. Pray for the Lord to continue to move among these future leaders. 

Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I was blessed to co-present a Graceworks workshop at NERC, the Northeast Regional Conference for the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) in Lancaster. 


What a beautiful city! 

Blessings in KY, MI, TN, NC, SC, TX


I had private workshops or coachings in Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and Texas that also blessed me in major ways! 

Our Christmas eLetter Will Go Out Soon


We want to thank you again for being on our prayer team! We know it makes such a difference as we go out into the world to encourage people in their faith and warm those who have none to the Gospel. 


We're composing our Christmas eLetter, so we appreciate your prayers that it will bless all who receive it.

More to Come...

Here are some highlights from this year I realized I never posted about when they happened...

Songs of Revival Launched

This year we had our first feature-length performance of Songs of Revival: Hungry After God Himself at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN, as a part of their weekend event How the Jesus Movement Changed the Way We Worship. It featured Michael W. Smith, who Joyce is praying over in the photo.

Back in the Kitchen


I had a booking in Tulsa and was able to have dinner on the set of A Christmas Snow. I didn't actually make it into the kitchen. Didn't want to elongate our wait for dinner, but it was quite fun to eat where I performed in my first film with lines in 2010. Since then I've performed in more than 50 films. 

Back at the Arch

A private workshop in St. Louis was blocks away from one of my favorite places on earth! We went up in it when I was in third grade, and it had a major impact on me! Sadly, the line was too long for us to make it to the top and still catch our flight, but the recently renovated museum underground was fantastic! 


Dress Rehearsal in My Home State


I'm always blessed to perform in Oregon, where I grew up and can visit family and long-time friends. On a trip in the spring I was able to perform Beyond the Chariots about Eric Liddell's victories during the 1924 Paris Olympics. It fell at a critical time to help prepare the play for performing it throughout Europe during the summer. 

Blessings in KY, TX, PA, D.C.


I had private workshops or coachings in Kentucky, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., that also blessed me in major ways!

Our poster was miraculously in the main
lobby of AMC Empire. It could have gone
anywhere in the labyrinth of 25 screens.
I played the adult male lead role of Mitchell Little in the feature-length music video, Providence, which had a limited nationwide theatrical release through AMC Independent, which opened Valentine's Weekend, 2016. It's now won or been nominated for over 80 awards.

One of the venues was the historical AMC Empire Theatre on Times Square.   Click here to see how that was an answer to an eight-year prayer.

It's now beginning to roll out across the land, and you can schedule a screening in your area.

It's now available on  DVD and digital download.

On February 12th and 13th, I was joined for a Q and A by actors Stacey Bradshaw ( Touched by Grace) and Emily Knapp ( The Good Book) who play Teen and Young Rachel, Apolonia Davalos ( The Perfect Wedding) who plays Beautiful Woman at Church, as well as Jenn Gotzon ( Frost/Nixon).

Providence is a charming modern silent film from the makers of  The Good Book, their first silent film, which has been nominated for 21 awards and has won over half of those.  Providence has already won three awards at the Faith Film Fest: "Best Story," "Best Directing," and "Best Lyrical Music!"

The story is only told through movement and brand new songs written for this film. I like to call it a feature-length montage.

I play the adult version of a character who has known a girl most of his life. Circumstances and shyness have kept them apart, but the Lord brings them together in His timing. I loved being a part of this charming film because it’s such a beautiful picture of how the Lord is at work in bringing couples together. I’m so pleased with the final result, and I love that its theatrical release means more people will see God’s love on film!

It premiered in Franklin, TN, on November 8.

Christians may want to know:
The Dove Association rates it "Faith-Friendly" for ages 12 and over. You can read more details here: Providence.

Director, Sharon Wilharm, wrote about how the film came into existence: You're Invited on Our Filmmaking Journey.

I was in Nashville over three weekends, and the dailies were looking great!

In the run-up to the February 12 nationwide release through AMC Independent they are releasing a series of music videos:
