So many people have asked, “When will the next video/DVD ready?” We have good news — we leave in 4 hours to film David & Solomon: Expanding the Kingdom.” We plan to have it ready for shipment before Easter.
Please keep us in your prayers. We will be filming in many unusual places in Israel and the Palestinian West Bank. I am polishing my sword (literally), practicing my slinging of stones, and preparing to meet our rented male lion. It should be an interesting film shoot and an interesting DVD.
I will try to keep up the blog with info and pictures of what we are doing. It will depend a lot on internet accessibility.
Here are the locations we will be filming in:

Shiloh (Home of the Ark of the Covenant for over 350 years)
