Dispatches From The Front: "A Bold Advance"

My friend Dr. Tim Keesee and Frontline Ministries have produced another episode of the film I blogged about earlier. This second episode is set in our part of the world and tells the story of God at work through His servants in what has been a historically dark part of the world for missions.  I enjoy and watch dramatized re-creations of old missionary stories (I watched William Carey last night), but it is hard not to be aware that you're watching actors on sound-stages; Dispatches DVDs are so powerful because they are real-time, real-life documentaries of life as it unfolds on the mission-field battle-field.

The full DVD is around 53 minutes, includes special features and discussion guides, and sells for $15 individually (or $100 for 10) ... this and Episode One are worthy items for church bookstores and libraries.
