Thanks for your prayers and support of the past year and a half. I have enjoyed my ministry here so much! I hope that you have been able to really enjoy this Christmas season in the midst of the economic times or troubles that you face. Christmas has been wonderful this year, especially since my parents just moved about 30 minutes away from me! I got parents for Christmas! Yay!
Awayo in other languages:
Looking back, God has done much this past year! Awayo has been translated into a few languages: Indonesian, German, Portuguese, French, Spanish, and Norwegian. In the next couple months I’ll be working on a DVD for Canada (with French) as well as a DVD for Brazil (Portuguese). We are waiting for a couple of other languages to come in too.
Studio Getting Set Up
Downstairs, we have finally ordered the green screen! It is a slow work in progress for the studio downstairs. The room is very echoey – not good sound quality right now – so we (Aaron) are working on low/no-budget efforts to fix that. Once that is done, I’ll experiment to learn how to remove the green background when editing (keying in post) and make a person look real in front of a different background.
Priority Impact
We don’t have any big projects going right now, just little things. It’s hard to point to anything as “done”, but I am encouraged as we make progress little by little. My “bosses” will be looking at my list with me next week. I’m looking forward to the new year. Pray that I will be responsible with my time and focus on the things that will have the most impact.
Here are a couple more prayer requests for the coming days:
1. Video about NTM’s training (using footage from Awayo). Next step – rough storyboard from the script Ian wrote.
2. Personal: My goal this year is that God will be my best friend, as real as my closest friends. Pray that I will put my time here, where it matters most, in that relationship that can never be taken away!
3. Wise time use, on the things with the most impact. Finishing little things!
4. Praise – my parents have moved down and started settling in.
