The Long March

Lord God Barrier-Buster!

The Star's team of distribution professionals continues pressing into new markets worldwide. The Star Project is now 10 years old! So, it's a long march, but eventually, I believe God will make the Star DVD available throughout the world. My weekly prayer team routinely prays that He will take the message of Messiah's Star worldwide, by live presentation, DVD, every means that pleases Him. It's labor and time intensive work, sometimes discouraging. But all of us know this is His work, done for His glory.

Some weeks ago, I asked that the team try to get the DVD on iTunes for digital download. They came back that they were already at work on it. Sent me the contract, which was unacceptable. Soon made progress finding the right aggregator (a necessary middleman to get on iTunes). Made the application, and Apple declined the DVD for inadequate duration. Twice.

I asked that they go back one more time to see if we could impress Apple with sales figures for the DVD. God was with us! Apple has made an exception for the Star DVD, which will soon be on iTunes! Think what this might mean, people. The Star on your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, your laptop. You can take it with you and enjoy sharing God's celestial handiwork anywhere!

If you have time, please pray with me:

"Amazed, Father. Amazed. Thank you for opening door after door to the message of Messiah's Star. Most of us are involved in ministry, and many of us are working on projects that require years of dedication to produce fruit. Give us stamina. Help us always to work in your strength. Help us to be steadfast in prayer. And thank you for the rush of encouragement we feel when we see you break through barriers! We all so love being involved in your work! Grow your kingdom, Great Lord! We pray in the name of Jesus, amen!"
