It’s been a long Sunday at NRB, but quite honestly, one of the most fun and memorable days since I started at WNZR in February 2005.

It started this morning with a worship service featuring Dr. James MacDonald of Harvest Bible Chapel in northwest Chicago.  Dr. Jim also has a website and program called “Walk in the Word.” (see info here)  He delivered an inspiring message on Acts 12, where an angel helps free Peter from prison.  He reminded us that this story reinforces the fact that God is in control, even when the enemy appears to have the upper hand.

After lunch, we spent some time geeking out looking at some equipment in the exhibit hall, and saying hello to a few friends who work in Christian media or support organizations.

Then, at 4:30, we met up with all the other schools in the iNRB production awards competition for a celebration of this year’s winners, and the judging of the 36 DA and DV challenges.  I watched Evan Walker and Nico Felizzola receive their certificates for placing in the contest (click for more info), and then paced like a nervous parent while our Digital Audio team of Jayme, Ashley, Derek and Kaylee had their :60 promo for Gospel for Asia played and critiqued by the judges.  I was ready to explode when they announced that our MVNU team had taken FIRST PLACE!!!  The competition was tough, as both Northwestern College and North Greenville University had done quality work as well.

We celebrated over dinner with Matt Selay of Gospel for Asia, who shared his appreciation for the fine work our team did, plus shared from his heart about the call God laid upon his heart to work to get the Gospel to countries like India and Afghanistan.  I was inspired- this is one man who is truly living out loud to build Christ’s kingdom in some of the darkest areas of the world.

Our evening wrapped up with outstanding comedy from Michael Jr. and previews of some great family and faith films coming out soon…Soul Surfer, The Fifth Quarter, Doonby, Mighty Macs and There Be Dragons.
