The Insanity of God

We were so deeply moved by the film, The Insanity of God. Nik and Ruth Ripkin tell how the Lord showed them that missionaries are those who go to the places where it is hard to hear the Gospel, so they asked the Lord where He wanted them to go. They sensed Him calling them to Somalia. 

After watching the severe persecution of Christians there, Nik felt called to travel to other places Christians are persecuted and hear their stories, asking the question, "Is Jesus worth it?" This film dramatizes many of these incredible stories and answers that question profoundly and powerfully. 

For a limited time you can stream the film for free.

The Insanity of God tells how the Church in China has been growing by leaps and bounds. My one man play Beyond the Chariots shows how Olympic champion Eric Liddell sowed seeds over 60 years ago, that are sprouting today.  Watch it online and book a live performance. 

Joyce and I Will Lead Prayers this Morning for Intercessors for America

This morning Joyce and I will be leading prayers on an Intercessors for America call at 12:15 pm Eastern. Call 712-775-7430. No code needed.

I’ll be praying as inspired by this video featuring Joni Eareckson Tada: 

I’m just thrilled, because she’s been a hero of mine since I was a boy, and I’ve been blessed to perform at two of her Joni and Friends camps: www.RichDrama.com/Joni. 

Then Joyce will pray over this article: Life Wins in Louisiana.
It reports that, "Louisiana voters passed an amendment to the state constitution Tuesday evening establishing that there is no constitutional right to an abortion." 

Hope you can join us!

I Dreamed I Was Free tells the story of Quaker abolitionist John Woolman, who spoke against slavery a century before our Civil War.

The Revelation Is Coming

I recently performed my one-man play The Revelation in Phoenix, Oregon, where I was raised. My hometown burned down in September, but out of about 2,400 buildings that were destroyed, only one of them was a church. I performed the play in Central Neighborhood Church, one of those untouched by the fire. 

Here's one of the scenes...

 

I'll be releasing the full play for a limited time as soon as I'm finished editing. Sign up for the announcement that it's been released at www.RichDrama.com/Updates.

Fragments of Truth

I've seen the fragment of the Book of John which is used in the poster when I was in Manchester, UK. The film shows we can trust the accuracy of the Bible we have today. 

At www.Faithlife.com/fragments-of-truth you can order a DVD, stream it online, arrange for your church to watch it together and order discussion guides. It also comes with a subscription to FaithlifeTV. 

Watch the trailer below, or if you're getting this in an email, visit www.RichDrama.com/FragmentsOfTruth.

I worked with the director, Reuben Evans on The Farmer and The Belle - Christmas Comedy Movie and with John Rhys Davies on The Dragon and the Raven and Beyond the Mask Movie.

Hallelujah Service

I put this prayer (Ask for
the peace of Jerusalem) in the
Wailing Wall of Jerusalem in
2011.

Rachel Taylor led our Hallelujah Service today, based on Psalm 122. We didn't record the actual service because it was so interacted, but Rachel recorded a summary.     Dr. Linda Warren prayed for the peace of Jerusalem, and I prayed for peace in America.
