"...A Gentle Whisper..."

God bless you, MarchMin friends, this is Maria in for Bruce who is more buried than usual as we get closer to the filming of The Gospel Acc to John.

 

It has been a very busy two weeks, but we praise God for His goodness and faithfulness in the midst of it all!

 

This week the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19:10-13 comes to mind. The Lord commanded Elijah to stand before Him on the Mountain. Elijah obeyed and the Scripture goes on to describe what followed in four breathtaking words: "The Lord passed by."...

 ...There was a mighty wind, earthquake and fire - but God was not in these. Then came the sound of "a gentle whisper," and Elijah knew this was God's voice.

 

All I can say is wow! What a humble reminder to be still and listen quietly for the Lord's voice because it most often comes as we least expect it...

 

1 Kings 19:12 "...And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper." 

 

Praise the Lord for His guidance as we all seek Him with all our hearts!

As I mentioned earlier we've been very busy prepping for John. This includes visiting set/prop houses here in L.A. searching for pillars, archways; 1st century rugs, furniture, etc...

 

These columns you see are made of Styrofoam! So we can easily transport them for different scenes. There are entire wall sections, doorways - even rubberized ground cover that looks like stone pavement. Amazing!

 

Please pray we are able to rent these much-needed items at low cost in order to stay within our budget constraints.

We've also been scouting locations in Arizona. Believe me - it's hot! On our last trip the highs were up to 115 - as it will be when we shoot in Aug/Sept.

 

Because our budget is so tight we're forced to film during this AZ "off season" of excessive heat. And this is a real point of prayer...

...The cast/crew will be working for 5 weeks in this terrible heat. We will do all we can to keep everyone safe, but we really need your prayers in this area. Thank you!

 

And may I say thank you for all your prayers - some of you for years. By God's grace and your intercession...

 ...we are making great strides forward. The Lord is giving us favor from Christian land owners and churches, so excited we're filming in AZ. Yes, our budget is tight. But by God's hand and your support we'll make it! Praise the Lord!

1 Kings 19:12 "...And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper."

The Lord whispers gently in the quiet of a humble heart. Listen quietly for His guidance and He will lead the way.

Please, keep praying as we press toward the filming of John. We're doing every job just the two of us until Aug. 2 when the budget allows us to hire "department heads." Please know we greatly covet your prayers and are so thankful and blessed by them. As Bruce always says, "We move forward on our knees! Glory to Jesus!"

We're so grateful for your support both in prayer and finances. We press on together and look forward to the day when The Gospel According to John is completed and reaching souls around the world! Thank you!

 

May the Lord bless you and keep you as you rest in Him!
