Thank you for the thoughts on the videos and a reminder of how some folks would prefer to hear from the President! I thought I’d pop in real quick to just let you know that we agree with you that video alone does not make for a lasting message…this is why I wanted to bring to everyone’s attention that Dr. Dan has been doing much writing over the years for all to read. Some examples include: donor letters with updates on what’s happening, his annual President’s report, the Multnomah Magazine (look for a great critique of a controversial book this month!), his forthcoming book that is in the publishing process now, and many other venues. The videos are meant to be short little updates for folks to know what’s happening on campus.

Should anyone need any help finding some of these items, please let us know!

Once a video is over, there’s no trace and no lasting message that I can pick up at my leisure. That’s not to say I don’t use my computer, because I’m on it an hour or two a day in ministry related things.

On the plus side, we value our education and edification received at MSB and continue to use all the resources generated from that experience. Teaching bible for over 40 years, ordination in Brazil, missionary there for 17 years, now chairman of Missions Fest Seattle and countless opportunities to use the tools we were blessed to receive there. May God be praised. Joe McLennan
