Why I Do This…
sometimes, even in the most extraordinary & exciting times of life, i wake up and am frustrated for whatever reason…the job/business/ministry/mission is fun and rewarding, but it comes with it’s “share”…like any job…
and then i get an email like this (a response to our latest video “Awayo”):

I loved your movie. I’ve watched it three times, and cried each time. There is a young couple in our church that desperately want to be missionaries, but the guy’s parents were dead set against it, even though they are believers. Our church showed that movie on a weekend that they were visiting. After seeing it, the parents are nearly pushing them out the door towards New Guinea!
They are heading out to PNG as associate missionaries for a year, then they plan to return for the training so that they can go full time! Thank you so much for the movie. It has really changed their lives. And thanks to your work, there might even be more brothers and sisters around the throne one day! Thank you for your hard work.

as soon as i start feeling like i need to shift my direction or the way i’m doing things, God gives me a subtle hint NOT to. Thank You, Lord. I’m still in this if You are!
Wow, Stephen, what a great email that was to receive. It is great when God pours out his blessings right when you need it through fellow believers through these kinds of words of encouragement.
