It’s an actor’s worst nightmare: he stands before a live audience, blanks out and can’t remember a single line. Only this wasn’t a nightmare; it was real. And soon it will be a short film titled (appropriately) “Blank.”
Producer/Director John Gaither drew from his own nerve-wracking experience to write the film’s script. Intended to stimulate discussion on the fears and rewards of taking healthy risks, “Blank” is a joint venture of Keynote and the Global Short Film Network. “Blank” is currently in post-production.
Easing into the barber’s chair, Robert began to catch up with Michelle. He’s been Michelle’s client for a year and they typically talk about life and faith. Today however, since he was attending Keynote’s Comm Lab, Robert was in a new frame of mind, purposefully listening to her heart instead of sharing the religious information he knew.
While they talked, Michelle expressed her desire to make sure she had a relationship with “the God who was blessing her life and business.” As they spoke, Robert experienced the results of selfless conversation. God created a moment for Robert and Michelle to pray and she began a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that day.
“Everything I learned at Comm Lab was great, especially the principle of ‘dying to yourself so others can hear God’s message through you.’ That helped me get past myself and hear where she was spiritually and what her heart wanted.”
Bob met his wife Jan during high school. They traveled together in The New Folk, fell in love and married during their time in the band.
“Do you want to be an engineer who happens to be a Christian or a Christian who happens to be an engineer?”
Bob Horner had to rethink his future plans when a friend challenged him with this question. Although involved with Campus Crusade for Christ at Colorado University, he wasn’t planning on going into ministry and was applying for engineering jobs.
Because Bob wanted to make a difference for Christ, he joined Campus Crusade for Christ staff – just for a few years – to receive training in ministry he could apply in his future work environment. That was almost 50 years ago; he’s still a staff member! [click to continue…]
Campus Crusade For Christ staff member Rich Street was recently in New Zealand and recorded a quick interview with Justin O’Malley, National Campus Director of Student Life, about their use of MissionHub. Check out this video for a look at the impact that MissionHub is making on their ministry.
He was hard to miss. Cornell’s clothes were layered and mismatched, his floppy boots hung over mid-calf, and the winter kid’s hat he wore with long tassels made Becky Alwin wonder: “What’s this guy’s story?”
Becky and her husband Zak, new Keynote artists known as Rhymz Suhreal, were performing their unique style of eclectic music in Milwaukee’s ghetto. They shared stories about their faith journeys and original songs with the people at the concert.
As Becky began a personal song called “Music Box,” she spotted Cornell making his way toward the stage. She began to wonder if he was going to ruin their ministry moment and make a spectacle of them (or himself). Or, was he being moved by the Spirit to express himself some other way?
