I am creating a new website which will include my blog. I had a friend build this one for me long ago, and it has been reliable, but over time I have come to need it to do far more than just host a blog. So be looking for my new site — it will…

This story is running everywhere right now: Jennifer Foster, a tourist from Arizona was walking around New York’s Times Square with her boyfriend when she saw a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk asking for change. He was obviously cold – without shoes or socks on a frigid night. Just then, a NYC police officer bent down, and…
Back in Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, in the KLM Sky Lounge, thinking back on Cape Town 2010. It dawned on me that 21 years ago, the second Lausanne congress was wrapping up in Manila. As the Director of Communications for the Lausanne Committee on World Evangelization, I had a few days of clean up to do…
Last night, The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization came to a triumphant conclusion. The plenary hall of the Cape Town International Convention Center was packed with the 4,500+ participants and more than 1000 staff. Stan (my broadcast team mate) and I determined that we would be in this final session, but as it started,…
Weird combo – arts & integrity – but it works. Watch our most recent video release from Cape Town 2010, The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization; it includes a look at the variety of artistic expressions that are going into this international gathering, plus it examines the error that can creep into our message.

Thursday was a day off for participants of Cape Town 2010, but many staff stayed on to use the time to finish up tasks that had fallen behind in the crazyness of the first few days. I, however, took the opportunity to tour the peninsula with new friends: Clyde Taylor, Director of Visual Story Network and…
As promised, here is the link for our latest video report (of course, if you have registered as a broadcaster and have access to the ftp site, those are bigger and cleaner files) click here for the report. The first full day of the Congress was focused on Truth – specifically the truth of the…
When I was the director of communications for Lausanne II in Manila, we didn’t have any problems with wireless internet connections or with broadband connections for instant delivery of video. No, widespread use of the Internet was merely a gleam in Al Gore’s mind back then. But today, at Cape Town 2010, many people and…
Nothing is easy. We’re now halfway through the Congress, and still difficulties rear their ugly heads to keep me in the edit room until 11 or 12 at night. Today it was some software glitch keeping us from ingesting XD footage from a Sony EX3… and 90% of my stuff for that piece was coming…
