Thursday morn
Good morning! I writing briefly because last night internet shut off on me. So, just as Cristian and I are planning on doing everyday, we meet at 9 here in this room, next to the stairs, my old classroom, in this old building of a base. I can hear the new DTS worshipping next to us, and people slamming the front gate over and over. It's interesting, but hey it's an office for right now.
We've been starting out every morning with prayer. This morning we'll be walking to Kalk Bay to speak with the production manager of Media Village. So please keep us in your prayers. We'll be praying and talking on the way.
SO much greatness 'feels' like things have picked up, at least in our spirits from yesterday.
I truly believe it's from earnestly seeking the Lord. If we don't, he won't bless this passion he's placed within. Because if we don't seek him, it will not help bring others into the Kingdom. Its will look like it's from me or the next human being, which it isn't. Nothing is possible this great, without him. Thank you father.
Working on the video with the great team from Switzerland. I've got the designers, creative lady from France, and now Andrew who's going to design our stick figure characters! It's going well!
Cristian went over the media village to work on website that Allain has been working on, and we feared it, because of some of the other work he's brough before us, and Cristian came back with the biggest grin on his face! He took a few pics with his camera, and said no it's so simple! He said I was shocked it's great! Looks like what we wanted and it also has our condom video, and a funny no sex picture, and simple words, background, our info is up and more coming up! YES YES YES! To see him happy with it, it just made me jump up and down. Thank Allain! Sorry Lord for doubting. SOOO, we go back Saturday for another meeting with him and hopefully it's all online and the web by then allain said.
Earlier that morning, I had phoned Tad, thank you sweetheart, from back home, who works in all areas of film and that industry, and he's just so dang knowledgeable and has such great advice and even better, always makes me feel capable! Thank you for your belief. He's the one who pretty much made my entire fundraiser back in the times for Katrina relief, who made it happen right there at Kells! Awesome! I was on Skype with him for about 2 hours soaking up his knowledge and asking question after question. EVEN, trying to convince him to get work here, with all the film companies around, and with his help here would be incredible!
Tad had me look at exactly what steps I need to be doing, the terminology for and from the film industry people, how to get a champion to look into big Tiger's like Wieden. Oh I felt so relieved after talking with him that at least it's not such a bleak look! Thanks, and mentor I'll be calling much more!
So, I know I must get my actual plan/goal/mission on a 1 pager or 1/2, and even better, into 3 sentences. Then 3 MAIN points of HOWi'm going to to implement those 3 ideas for getting the message out! We have so many, but we need to focus and go after those. Into the airports for example is so much different then just the radio. It's video, for the actual airplane, then it's pamphlet/track, for the seat inserts at the plane, then if all else fails, actual people/groups/teams handing out tracks/brochures with information.
I also called this man Tobi from YWAM world, who lives here with wife who consults with organizations and beginning and helping them run. He gave good advice, wasn't sure exactly where and how he can help, but is going to give me some of his time in a few weeks to sit down. By then, we'll look more professional!
Also, this man Elrico, who I heard about from a friend of a friend here, is a Christian who has and does with with government programs and helping youth, so I've found him, served him campaign concept, and he's been responding wonderfully. Perhaps he'll have some great connections, advice.
My huge problem was thinking about who we end up partnering with.
The more this passion of this issue of the abstain2010 event for WC 2010, the more I see the 3 main areas of interest, ALL equally important.
-Human Trafficking
-Prostitution (linked completely with trafficking)
-HIV/AIDS
SO, I can't really just choose an HIV organization to be our partners, then to even carry this message of abstaining from Sex after can I? I need/want one that oversees all 3 areas. SO, if/when we get funding and support to push this, it encompasses all 3 areas of interest. I want to help.
EVEN MORE, this doesn't just limit itself whatso ever with JUST South Africa, oh no no! It's the world. People from around the world are coming here with these issues that are here and going to be more prevalent, because of this world cup event, BUT it's happening all over, can be spread all over, etc. You get my point.
Ideas?
I love you all, hope holidays are well,
I don't sleep well and have a hard time getting time awayto praise God, because ideas and things to accomplish and get done go over and over in my head, but hey, it's good things.
Embassy wouldn't get me a new license so I have to somehow replace through oregon DMV. Quite frustrating, but hey, it's just steps.
Gotta get going to walk over there now.
I pray you're well.
