This incredible feature film only has five actors, all under the age of 10. It combined great dialog, humor, suspense, a powerful allegory, and some really cute kids. Smile

Enjoy watching the trailer!

“Even though it was incredibly humorous and fun to watch, you felt at the end that you hadn’t wasted your time. It had a sobering and inspiring message.” – Dad

runnerfromravenshead“In some movies you have to fast-forward a bit to get past certain offensive sections. But in this one we found ourselves rewinding it to watch some great scenes over again!” – Daniel

“I was impressed at how professionally it had been put together, even though all the actors were all so young!” – David

“My favorite thought-provoking quote was ‘Isn’t it ironic that she can find freedom within the confines of a city?’” – Esther

Car troubles!

As most of you probably know, Kendalyn and I have been having some car troubles recently. The engine on the used Toyota Corolla that we just purchased suddenly died with only 110,000 miles on it. Not good.

Well, thanks to the kind efforts of the Glick family, Kendalyn and I now have a new engine!

Dwayne, Dale, Andrew, and I with the new engine installed!

Andrew Glick, who was in Chicago with his wife Christi and their two children, headed up the project. Dwayne and Dale spent many long hours helping Andrew take everything apart, pull out the old engine, and put in the new. And Tony brought over frosties to keep everyone happy. Smile The whole family was such a blessing to us.

Andrew and Dwayne worked on top while Dale got greasy underneath. :)

Even little Dwight jumped in to help!

We finally got the old engine out!

Strong guys!Our car up on the liftStarting to remove the transmission with the engine on the hoist

Thank you, Glick family, for your labor of love in the Lord!

My brother James came up with an inspiring design and IBLP offered to sell them for us at store.iblp.org.

Clayton and I have really enjoyed playing praises to our Lord together. We’re looking forward to performing a new Christmas arrangement at the IBLP Christmas Conference next week! We are both very grateful for our parents, siblings, and the many others who have inspired us to play for God’s glory. Thank you!

We flew into the Singapore airport and I was immediately impressed with its beauty and cleanliness. I normally don’t take pictures of baggage claims but this one was amazing. The whole city was very clean!

Leaving Singapore, we drove across the bridge into Malaysia. What really impressed me about Malaysia was the miles and miles and miles of palm trees! Evidently, Malaysia is the second largest producer of palm oil in the world (next to Indonesia.)

We stopped for lunch at . . . McDonalds! The menu was similar to a U.S. McDonalds except you could shake up your french fries with a nice, zesty Asian-style spice. I thought it was pretty good!

Mr. and Mrs. Teh were wonderfully kind conference coordinators and made us feel right at home. There were many people from Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia at the conference and they were a great joy to meet and talk with. It was exciting to see families on the other side of the world who love the Lord and desire to serve Him with all their heart!
