Summer Update

Well, much has happened this past spring and summer.  We moved to Irvine and I helped a friend produce an independent feature film.  Since I finished my main responsibilities with him in May, I've been writing and preparing for my next project: a film about the crisis in North Korea.

For those of you who haven't heard yet, Jenny and I are actually traveling to North Korea in September.  Officially, it's a tourist trip.  We'll be traveling with a team organized through Open Doors USA, a ministry that supports the persecuted Church around the world.  More info can be found on our North Korea blog:

Other exciting news is that Jenny has put her notice in with Biola University and will be finished working there on August 15th.  She'll be freelancing now and already has plenty of work lined up.  I'm also doing some freelance video work to supplement our income.  I've been working with other non-profit organizations that are focused on helping North Korea as well and there may be more opportunities with them in the future.

Janet and Brian Hill, my sister and brother-in-law, are moving here to Irvine next week!  They will actually live literally around the corner from us!  We're really excited to have family near us again.  He'll be taking a position at our church, RockHarbor, as high school youth pastor.

So that's our brief update.  Exciting things going on here in the west.  Please pray that God will use us to bring hope and freedom to North Korea someday.
