Hello, friends!
How have ya'll been? If you're curious what I've been up to, I made a documentary! There are 2 versions, a 20 min version that has the 'slice of life'/'having fun with friends', and then there's a shorter version that just gets to the point.

In the Summer of 2015, I had the pleasure to enjoy Literature
Evangelism with some new friends. Which is the ministry of personally distributing spiritual reading material by a donational basis. Here is my testimony for the Summer of 2015:
There was a woman who was diagnosed with cancer. On that very same day, the Lord put her in my path. We spoke, we prayed and she wept. Then she went home with 3 books called: "Bible Answers" , "Peace Above The Storm" and "Health And Peace". Now she knows cancer is not as intimidating and mysterious as it once was and that it can be cured naturally.
There was a father who was about to commit suicide, he was right about to leave the door, then, his 13 year old son, who he had not heard from in a long time, called him and it restored his faith in God. The next day his best friends were going to visit him, but before they went to his home, the Lord put them in my path. We spoke. We prayed. Then they brought him the book called "Peace Above the Storm". In the past two months I bumped into several people who wept and were ministered to.
We have experienced countless stories. Glory to God. And we can share them with you, all day. But, you too, can have your own stories! Literature evangelism or evangelism in general, is an amazing experience that not only nourishes the souls who we reach out to, but to our own souls as well.
This is my first time doing literature evangelism and in these 2 months, God has been teaching me things that books cannot. Experiential knowledge.
1) I learned and experienced, that without Christ I am NEVER ready. With Christ I am ALWAYS ready.
2) I experienced, that it isn't me or any of my talents. It's the Holy Spirit working through people. When I truly believed that, it changed my life. Now, when I meet a stranger, I no longer see "a problem for me to solve" and ask "What do I do? What do I say?". Instead, I see hope and ask "What will God do?". Just like there's hope in a lottery ticket, you don't know what's going to happen, so if there's rejection after rejection or trial after trial, it's okay because the next soul is hope all over again.
3) I have experienced that our God, is "The God Of Last Minute Miracles". Moses and his people were trapped by the Red Sea. Then the Red Sea was parted. Lazarus died. Then he was revived. Jesus died on the cross. Then He was revived.
If you've been discouraged or you're losing your faith, then remember that it is written "Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ".
There is victory waiting to blossom, at the edge of your trials. The bigger the trial, the brighter the victory and the more God will be glorified. Let us stay faithful to the Lord and endure trials for Him, because of love. Why does the woman quit smoking for her husband? Because she loves him.
It is written: "And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge. And though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains and have not LOVE. I am nothing" 1 Cor 13:2 It is written: "God is love". 1 John 4:8

Got another video coming soon, a "HOW TO" video. Then I'm thinking of doing another animation.

...I recently found the time to think about why you would suddenly go from one life to the other. I even checked out parts of that ESCAPE FROM THE BLACK HOLE vid on Youtube (parts of 41:50 and onward, specifically).
There were a thousand possible reasons you started a career as an artist/animator/game-designer, a thousand possible reasons you chose your particular style, a thousand possible reasons you made such a radical conversion to Christianity even after years of your career, and a thousand possible purposes that conversion could have.
I can only say a few things.
When you were an artist, your work reached out to a lot of people and possibly even brightened up the rest of their lives. The effort you put into them is a great inspiration for anyone, regardless of their career choice. You have every right to turn away from the popular movies, music, and games that glorify excitement, but your work, even if it was sinful, was nowhere NEAR that level. While your work is hidden from the radar, the works that glorify violence, temptation, and sex are still popular in the open.
I can think of many existing examples of entertainment that are a lot more than just emotional excitement. You shouldn't feel too bad about your previous work just because people or the lord are disgusted with the popular culture's sinful nature, though it's completely up to your discretion how you view that work.
Whatever purpose your conversion could serve, be it providing support for different people, inspiring others to follow in your footsteps, or creating works that are even more fruitful than before, I admit that this comment is just a long way of saying that we miss the stuff you removed from your profile pages a few months ago.
Anyways, I hope Christianity continues to do well for you.
