We’ve posted on our channel on YouTube a couple of additional videos from our testimonial series from HopeForLife.org. One of them is by John Todd, a professor at Rochester College:
Another of the videos is special to me because the subject is my wife, Carolina. She tells the story of her conversion:
If you can, go to the YouTube site and leave a comment and/or rating on these videos. That will help others find them.
Along with our website revamp, Herald of Truth has produced a number of new videos. These are available on www.hopeforlife.org, but we are also releasing them on video sites like YouTube.com. Here’s the first testimonial that we’ve posted there:
You can help us get the word out about these videos. Go to where this video is on YouTube.com (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nGNsiZiqfs) and leave a comment and/or rating there. And tell others about these videos. The story of how God has changed someone’s life is a powerful thing.
(Edit, 8:48 a.m. — I was remiss in not mentioning the WONDERFUL job that Tim Frakes did in filming these videos. An outstanding artist with a heart for Jesus)
Something I’ve been waiting for for two years: we’ve done a major revamp of our HopeForLife.org website. (“our” being Herald of Truth) Special thanks to Tamie Ross for recommending web designer Travis Langley. He’s done an outstanding job for us.
The site is designed as an outreach site, although I think Christians will also find encouragement there. It’s built around a four-part presentation of the good news:
One of the key parts of the site is the profiles page, with 10 video testimonials. I think you’ll be moved by the stories you see and hear there. There are also some written resources, 2 Bible study courses, and a contact page where people can ask for help finding a church, request prayers, or ask a question.
I’d like to ask you to take a look at the site and let me know what you think. I’d especially like to ask you to try and watch a video or two. We are trying the VideoPress video presentation plug-in; it delivers high quality video, but some people have had trouble watching the videos because of what that quality defends. Try the videos and let me know if they work for you.
Thanks for the prayers; the trip to Argentina went well. Not much to tell yet, as we were setting up some projects for the future.

Not all of my trips are overseas. Next week, I’ll be out at the Pepperdine lectures, just trying to see some Herald of Truth supporters out there and talk to others about what we’re doing. In July, I’ll be at the Summer Celebration at Lipscomb University; we’ll host a breakfast there, and I get to give a short devotional talk. In September, I’ll be at the Harding Lectureship, where I’m giving some lessons in Spanish. (And Herald of Truth has a breakfast at the Abilene Christian lectureship). I list all that just to say: I hope to get to see some of you.

For those of you that travel, here’s a quick list of suggestions:

That’s it for now. Two overnight flights in the last few days leave me incapable of anything profound today. Hope you have a great day!

I’d like to ask you for prayers for us this weekend, only because Carolina and I will both be traveling, but not together. She’ll be going down to Stockdale, Texas, to speak at a Ladies Day, while I’m going to Argentina on a quick trip to do some set up work for a ministry project we want to do there for Herald of Truth.
Hopefully the Internet won’t fall apart without my interaction the next few days. I hope to be able to get on from time to time, but you never know when traveling.
Have a great weekend!
