Busy Times!

I just realized it's been almost three weeks since my last post. Where does the time go?
I spent almost a week down at Messiah College in Grantham, PA doing some recruiting for ISV FaithWorks. Basically we take the ISV infrastructure (two weeks volunteer work and two weeks adventure tour) and create a true mission adventure, working with local churches to help them reach their community. The second two weeks is an intense leadership training and discipleship experience in the host country. We have high hopes for this new program, but response has been a little slow. I spent time at Emmanuel Bible College and University of Waterloo this week, Brock University next week, and in two different churches.
I've also had some great film opportunities open up, everything from promo videos for a school and a seminary, filming a high-end loft in Toronto, to the possibility of a $1,000,000,000 ship being built in the Netherlands. I've also been invited to film for a mission agency in Ecuador at the beginning of February, so that's kind of exciting too. I'm putting the finishing touches on "Sand Down Under", my low-budget documentary on Fraser Island, Australia, and hope to have that on sale by mid-December.
The family is all good, and they're the other reason I haven't blogged much lately. Shaniah is becoming a hand and foot addict (I've taught her all she knows), and Madeline is wrapping me even more tightly around her little finger! Lynn is busy too, working P/T at Food Basics, but hoping to expand her base of piano students.
For my readers in warmer places, we are heading into our first winter in four years. Put the snow tires on today, filled up with -40 washer fluid, and scraped the ice off the windshield this morning. The christmas tree and lights do look nicer with a dusting of snow, though.
