Scattering Seeds Hoping for Harvest!

This past winter has been non-stop.  We had several retreats and trainings, and then we moved into the Christmas season.  During December and we shared the true Christmas story with several children who do not attend church living in a few small cities around the country.  It is a privilege to keep moving and sharing the Gospel with hope that many will come to know Jesus personally.

Sharing the truth and hoping for more.  In the past few years my team here in Lithuania and myself have felt pretty much life farmers, strategically scattering seed by humans...by way of word of mouth and hand.

This is our prayer that the wind (Holy Spirit) would pick up and carry the seed that fell and did not connect directly with the heart.   In nature not all seed that is scattered will grow and we are realistic about our approach and methods that not 100% comes to fruition.

In this we know we must continue to grow in our opportunities and also the depth of spirit of those who are on our team.

Farmers know that so much more happens to the seed that is sent out.Mice and other small animals and birds eat seeds and when they defecate, the seeds are moved/scattered. Squirrels also pick up seeds and plant them in hopes of creating storage areas so they have food in the winter.

VZTV Project Update

After an 8 month extension we completed the task!

These past few months have come with several "new experiences"  we are all new to the world of television production.  Back in the 90's I dabbled a little with cable T.V.; but this past year the learning curb has been a constant uphill experience.  We have been blessed beyond measure in simple but impactive ways.  Thru training we received with "Wycliff" ministries, Glenda Mohr from CBC and then the past few months we have had a student from East European Oradea Bible College, based out of Romania.  Gabriel Negru has been with us for the last three months, training, training and retraining so that we can survive.  This young man has been such a blessing to our entire team.  

I'm grateful to be heading home next week with our pilot completed, we are also preparing a "trailer" for our American office.  Non of this would have been possible without "Speed the Light" and "Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge".

Will be producing another 25 half hour programs for the upcoming season.  When I return next year our first year of airing will premiere.  In the meantime "Kidz Lithuania" will continue to produce and also continue with their regular evangelism.   These young people are incredible! A few are University Students the rest are in highschool, all are in the top of their classes, all love the Lord and all have a passion to reach the children of Lithuania with the Gospel message.
