Awesome times and prayer requests

Village is moving forward.
An artist I met via Craigslist, Blake Douglas, drew up this thumbnail. His work is going to be the cover art and website art for VillagetheGame.com. Btw, I changed the name from SimVillage to Village. I decided I didn't want to get sued by SimCity.
Last Friday, I had a viewing of "The New Heroes" documentary. Eight more people now get why I'm building this game to show off what these social entrepreneurs are doing.
Last Sunday, we had our first night of "Synergy" at the 1570. Tim organized a night where anyone and everyone could share something. And something we got, everything from songs and poetry, to a guy making gross popping noises with his finger. Several shared something and deep and personal. So yeah, there's a lot going on to praise God for these days.

Prayer Requests
Pray for this coming Friday night, we're having people over to try listening to God. To some people listening is a foreign concept, usually prayer babbling on until you run out of things to say to God. Also pray for Ashley's variety show at our house. This is a huge step for her.

Regarding Village, I'm considering a move to India. Going to India could help me in several ways: (1) I can hire an Indian game development company to build a playable demo for about 1/4 the cost. (2) While I'm there I can practice building a third world village in a rural part of India and use that experience better design the game. (3) My rapidly disappearing finances could last longer at the Indian cost of living and buy me more time to focus full-time on the game. Moving to the other side of the planet is a huge gamble, and so I could really use a lot of prayer. If God tells you anything about this plan, please share it with me.

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 ......
