CODE goes to new level

2009 will introduce new ideas with CODE. We will still continue with the regular CODEs, but 2009 we have established a new concept with CODE called Easter CODE. It is a two day conference event that is Easter focused. Registrants will actually learn the pieces in class. A great mix of ten pieces that are designed to help you present an anointed Easter program that is seamless from beginning to end. Registrants leave the conference with their Easter program completely done. It's a win-win situation. Here is some more onformation:

It seems that the Easter and Christmas seasons have traditionally been accepted as two times of the year that people come to church expecting a play or musical. Turning the church platform into Jerusalem every year sometimes becomes a task that can become overwhelming and expensive. Is there an alternative? Is there an easier, yet effective way to still draw many guests to our churches every year without stressing your own saints to the point that the Easter season is no longer enjoyable? We think there is.

Terry Vik and I have developed an annual conference event called CODE, (Conference of Drama Evangelism). CODE is a three day comprehensive and systematic approach to the drama ministry. 2008 was our eighth year of conducting regional CODEs where hundreds of registrants from across the U.S. have come to learn what it means to effectively minister through drama. Terry and I both have vast experience in teaching Acting, Directing, Play Writing, Mime, Dinner Drama, Song Interpretation and much more. In fact we can offer over sixty years of experience collectively.

We are redirecting our calling to now include what we call “Easter CODE”. In 2009 we are proposing to create regional CODEs with only Easter in mind. Easter will be the main focus and every class is designed to teach the registrant a Sign Language song, Song Interpretation, Dowel Rod and Monologue or Dialogued dramatic piece. Ten Easter pieces are hand picked by us and taught in class in a, “Hands-on” approach. When the students leave the conference they already know their entire Easter presentation.

The cost of the registration covers two days of learning from anointed clinicians whose calling is Christian Drama, an exhaustive notebook, DVDs, CDs and every note that they will need to make the presentation work at home for the local church.

This event has many built in positives that will keep blessing the church even after Easter is over. Even though what your leaders will be learning is to prepare them for the Easter season, it will be things that they can use all through the year as a help to the evangelistic outreach.

Changing Home Base from Omaha to Pensacola

Well, we've made many changes in the last few months. Our home base is now Pensacola, Florida. I will really miss Omaha...especially the people that we've loved for so long. Obviously they are still our friends and will ever be. As far as travel is concerned...I'm still traveling full time and being able to fly out of Omaha will be missed. Pensacola's airport is not most economical to fly out of.
I guess the trade off will be when it comes to the months of December and January. I'm sure I'll appreciate being here instead of there for those cold Nebraska winters. Whatever. You go where God leads you. That's all that counts.
