Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland...Workin' in a Winter Wonderland

View from the office, 2.2.09 13.00

The biggest snowstorm in 20 years may have shut down the entire city of London, but it did not stop the Act 4 team from pursuing this dream. We braved the snowdrifts and icy paths in our Wellies and knit caps to come into the office and work on the world record attempt. But we were not the only ones undeterred by the foul yet beautiful weather. On Tuesday, the office was literally overflowing with friends coming to help. Our regular volunteers, Derek and Bill, were in to work on various administrative projects that are helping us to identify venues and marketing outlets. Act 4's newest trustee, Graham, came in to give us a hand with the phones, making brilliant phone calls to potential venues and supporters. With the schools being cancelled, Jonathan (our assistant technical advisor) was available to come and help us with our new light kits. And, our graphic designer, David, was home from university and came in to integrate his Star Citizen logo into poster and ticket designs. All in all, it was joyfully crowded in here that day.

We are continuing to contact venues and pursue bookings, but it is proving a slow process. We are trying to keep our chins up, but we ask for your prayers that the right doors will be opened for us, sooner rather than later. Prayer is wonderfully powerful thing, and we had several prayers answered this week. By the grace of God we are moving forward with this project, and by that same grace we hope to complete it.
