Since I’m finally getting around to making a post on this blog, and we’re at the end of the year, I want to just briefly touch on some of the highlights of this year. We had 2 return ‘customers’ this year that we produced videos for in 1997. One was Nogales Baptist Seminary, and the other was Tecate Mission Int’l.For the NBS project, my wife Bernadette helped me out with that one. With her knowledge of Spanish, and her skills she has from teaching high school for many years, she was a tremendous help on this project, which we initially did in Spanish, and then did a version in English.
I worked on the TMI project with Rich. It ended up being more complex then we first thought it would be. We produced a DVD with basically 9 videos on it, including English and Spanish versions of a main video covering most of what TMI does, one highlighting their Bible School, and one of their school which is 1st through 12th grade.
Rich and I also travelled to Tokyo, Japan, where we shot footage for World Venture Japan. We produced 3 DVDs for them. The first one was an overview of their ministry, which is celebrating 60 years in existence. We did that one first in Japanese, and then English. They are planting churches around the Tokyo area, and one way they are attracting people to the Gospel is quite unique. Twice a year they have a large concert which is comprised of around 300 Japanese from about 25 churches. The interesting thing about these concerts is that it is black Gospel music that they sing. Many Japanese love singing this style of music. So most Japanese that join these choirs aren’t Christians. They join just because they love the stlye of music. During the process of rehearsing throughout the year in these choirs where some of the members are Christians, many people end up accepting Christ.
The couple in charge of this ministry is Ken and Bola Taylor. It’s awesome to see how God is using them to organize these choirs, and reach people in a way that is quite unique. They are literally preaching to the choir! So we we taped a concert while we were there, and put a DVD together of the concert, which is pretty high energy music. Besides those 2 DVDs, Rich is editing a video which goes into more detail about the ministry of the Taylors.
So that’s a quick synopsis of the main videos I worked on this year. –Gary

Evan will once again be in Denver on Mother’s Day weekend to consult and assist the filming of Family Foundations‘ finance seminar, God’s Ancient Paths of Financial Success. Jason Dudley, FFI’s production guy, is doing an incredible job of producing updated versions of all the Ancient Paths seminars that make up the foundation of FFI’s teaching. These seminars are blessing generations world wide, and in multiple languages. It has been a real privilege for us to partner with FFI as consultants during the establishment of their own, internal, production department. They now have their own TV studio and will continue adding new Ancient Paths seminars that equip the Church to understand and walk out generational blessing.
