Heritage Ohio Photo Entry

How To Vote: I’m honored to have had this image chosen as a finalist. Your support is appreciated, if you like it would you please take a minute to visit their site and Vote for #3 Wayne County Courthouse.

Background: In my quest to learn more about photography I often challenge myself for 30 days. During a recent December my challenge was to concentrate on night photography with the stipulation that I only use the manual settings of the camera. After dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Wooster, Broken Rocks Cafe, the ground was wet following a light rain and the light reflecting off the pavement seemed like a great opportunity for the challenge. This image of the Wayne County Courthouse is the result. It was one of the images I submitted to this years Heritage Ohio Downtown Main Street Photo Contest.

White Lightning

Jeremy Sieberhagen and his wife Marlene have lived in the Central Asian countries of Uzbekistan, Kazakstan and Azerbaijan for the last twenty years. Jeremy and Marlene have three children; Abigail, Nathan and Hannah.

Creative story telling was, in large part, what helped get the kids through many cold winter nights. What began as a single story soon grew into The Adventures Of White Lightning.

The Adventures of White Lightning take place in the Tien Shan Mountains of Central Asia. It is the story of a young horse and how he comes to understand and trust the great Tangri, Creator God. It is a story of the consequences of making mistakes, of courage in the face of evil. It is a story of confidence and exploration, of perseverance in hardship, of trust and friendship. It is a story that teaches that we are all loved and created by God.

For more information on the paperback & e-book version please visit Koozzz Publishing.

Five Minutes To Midnight

The past several months I’ve been working with Andy Sieberhagen to prepare thirty of his family’s most significant memories of living ten years in several Central Asian countries. The result is a powerful collection of stories that reflect the pilgrimage of an ordinary man in the hands of an extraordinary God living among those who have never heard the gospel.

I invite you to pickup a paperback or e-book copy of Five Minutes To Midnight, your life will be impacted! Visit Koozzz Publishing for more information.

New Book Project

Today I met with a local missions pastor to finalize plans for a new book project highlighting ten years of missionary work in Central Asia. I’m so excited after reading a few of chapters! Powerful stuff! Look for it in March!
