I think it’s awesome that God has put On Field Media in place for such a time and task as this.

Journey of the Distant Boat

But what if this film, with its aim to awaken the African church to get serious about sending missionaries, was more lasting than all that? We may never know, but Ted could be right. He was certainly right when he said, "God made this movie."

Kiss the Messenger

I was taken back by this encounter, and reminded of my own long service as a pilot here in Africa. For 13 years I was the messenger. I certainly can't remember all the people and places and boxes in the cargo pod. But I wonder now how many of those trips played a small part in someone's redemption story.

It's always interesting to get State Department travel warnings about the place you find yourself living in. But this has been the case for much of our last 16 years, and occasionally we have to come to terms with it all over again.

As the years march on for our family, we are understanding more and more how transient mission life can be. We have probably said goodbye to more dear friends in the past five years than many people make in a lifetime. Like life in general, the missionary life is practice in the art of letting go.

A better future

On March 4th, Kenyans go to the polls to elect a new president among many other posts. Five years ago the same elections led to riots, chaos, violence, and the death of hundreds. Those wounds have not completely healed, and now Kenya is poised at a crossroads once again. One path leads to a better future. And another to a bitter past.

The Making of a Story

And in a moment of suspended reality, a battered clapboard fills the frame in front of the lens. "Scene 70, Setup 2, Take 1," it reads. The clapboard marks the audio and video clips with information to help the editors, and provides an audible spike to later synchronize digital files. But it also marks a kind of boundary between the real world and this one of our own creation.

My bags are packed, sitting by the door for an early morning departure tomorrow. I'm driving to the coastal town of Malindi with a bunch of our crew for the film project. The trip will take all day even though the roads are in relatively good shape. It's mornings like this, however, when I miss the airplane...
