Dispatches from the Front

The Dispatches from the Front DVD series is a missiological travelogue highlighting the work of Christ’s victorious church in remote locations. The first episode focused on “Islands on the Edge” in Asia.

One of my favorite people in the world is Dr. Tim Keesee. He's like Indiana Jones, but humble and Christian, risking his life to find treasures in the most difficult places of the globe--not golden relics to be put in a museum--but Gospel treasures, being delivered by earthen vessels ... national pastors, missionaries, persecuted believers. He travels the world finding the people with most beautiful feet (Romans 10:15), helping them and equipping them.

Tim has a talented pen ... when you read his journals, you actually smell, hear, taste, and feel. You come away wanting to BE "Indiana Jones" for Jesus (OK, let's better say Paul or Hudson Taylor). The Dispatches DVDs provide his journals in video format. Basically a small film team follows Tim around and matches the images to the journal. A simple concept. A powerful result.

It is no secret that our enemy uses media to spread his poison. But we harness it for the Gospel!  If financing comes in, the second episode will be filmed in Albania this fall and will be released in 2010. This will be a full-feature documentary, not a little promo. We are thrilled that our ministry and others in Albania, Kosovo and Montengro will be presented in such an amazing and powerful way. 

Our eyes are inextricably linked to our hearts. That's why Paul's spirit was stirred in him when he SAW the city wholly given to idolatry (Acts 17:16). That's why Jeremiah said, "mine eye affecteth mine heart" (Lamentations 3:51). These DVDs are opening eyes!
