Merry Christmas! Grandma is gonna love this....

As I wait semi-patiently for my visa to Brazil, watching myself slip into mediocrity once again, I decided to fast from movies, tv, and junk food until Christmas. It was a huge step in the right direction otherwise life was going to end up like this:
I've been keeping myself busy with developing http://www.ywamva.org. Everything about their site looks the same as before but everything is now managed with blogger.com like my website. Stupid paypal donation button still isn't working, though. sigh....

I've also been doing some last minute video editing for them. I might upload it to Google Video, but I have to warn you, it's a 14 minute long inside joke mocking YWAM staff. I've concluded that acting is still more fun than editing films mainly because I'm not a walking database of catchy songs like most of my peers are. This whole fasting from media and jund food has mandated lots of creative alternatives for these cold dark nights.... like play with the new dog Abigail and experiment with Picasa photo editing.

Everyone that was here is pretty much gone for the holidays. It's very quiet; so quiet I stopped neglecting my blog. =) People keep asking me what my plans are for the holidays and after the holidays. I don't know; does this count as a plan:

Anyhoo... I was daydreaming about a new version of Monopoly.... Googleopoly. I'll have to violate several trademarks and copyrights but it'll give me something to do when we finish unwrapping presents.

Seriously though, I'll probably spend a good week praying over what to do next. There's so many possibilities as I wait on Brazil, it's not worth the effort to list them right now. Just pray for clarity and guidance and a nice camcorder.

How effective is Blogger at sharing now.

This works great for 1 day trips somewhere if you have a fridge and laptop plugged in.  

Brazil is Cool and I want in on the Action

Many have asked and many times I have explained Why Brazil? I am going to Brazil because something is going on down there, and I want in on it. Spiritually there is a huge revival going on down there. Small groups explode into megachurches. People receive prophecy and obey to go on and do great things for God. And more missionaries hail from Brazil than any other country in the world. Here's a few stories that inspired me: One prayer team from Brazil instigated a revival in Goa, India. Stephen Baldwin becomes a Christian because a Brazilian nanny obeyed prophecy. A Brazilian Missionary defies 'The Prince of Peru' to instigate revival in Peru. I believe that when I get down there I'll find mentors to take me into more powerful prayer, into more effective evangelism, and more mission-oriented churches. Essentially my hope for Brazil is that I can find a community who will help me take my faith from applying the wisdom of the Bible to something more personal ......
