Great to see your work Craig! I was given your contact info by Charlie Doucett in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. As it turns out I’m with Mennonite Brethren fellowship called The Agora. I’ve recently started a video editing company called “fresh_think_films”. Quite eager to be “mobilizing people through good news”.

Bless you man! Keep honoring Jesus as you actually care for people…
