Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Capital Campaign, Evangelism and Outreach, Faith Based Production, Tim Frakes Productions
This is a video I produced for the Florida-Bahamas Synod of the ELCA for their 2010 Synod Assembly through Kairos and Associates. The family and I (minus Emily who is away at college) toured Florida for a week; Naples to Fort Lauderdale, Port St. Lucie to Clearwater. They played while I recorded stories of mission and ministry. I did manage a sunset in Naples and 6 holes of golf in Port St. Lucie! Here are the results.

Eskimo Testimonies
Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Faith Based Production, Interesting Places, Spiritual Journey, Travel
Every now and then, I think back on a visit Jim Quattrocki, Bob Elliott and I made to Alaska’s Seward Peninsula in September, 1994. Eskimo Testimonies is a 7-minute video we produced for Mosaic, the video magazine of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
We spent 12 days touring Eskimo villages like Brevig Mission, Wales and Shishmaref, meeting its people and recording their stories.

Moody Radio Testimonials
Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Faith Based Production, Spiritual Journey, Tim Frakes Productions
My friend Bruce Everhart asked me to help tell the story of Moody Radio by recording a series of testimonials with listeners and on-air staff. Moody Radio owns and operates 35 radio stations with a Christian perspective on the news, interactive talk, teaching and inspirational music.
In Chicago we interviewed Anita Lustrea and Melinda Schmidt, co-hosts of Midday Connection, Greg Wheatley, host of Prime Time America and Sound of Majesty, and Mike Kellogg host of Music thru the Night.
Then, Bruce and I took a road trip to Indianapolis, Indiana and Chattanooga, Tennessee where we interview Howard at his Transport for Christ trailer at a truck stop off of I-65. In Chattanooga we interviewed Dale, a man who came to faith in Christ in prison through the help of Moody Radio.
To view the video’s please click on the video screen. This will take to to the Moody Radio Share site where you can video the testimonials.

Ready to Forgive: An African Story of Grace
Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Africa, Faith Based Production, News, Peace and Justice, Promo
Ready to Forgive: An African Story of Grace Begins 10/18/2009
Vision and Values – ABC
Presented by the National Council of Churches USA; Produced by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Beginning October 18 through December, 2009, ABC stations across the US will be airing a documentary I produced about forgiveness. Even though the Acholi people of Northern Uganda were living in a war zone, they can teach the rest of the world a lesson about forgiveness. More than 300,000 people were packed into camps for safety. Despite all this, the Acholi people are ready to forgive the rebels who caused them so much pain.
They have a tradition known as Mato Oput or “drinking the bitter herbs.” When two parties come together and taste the bitter herb, they sense each others pain. Then, the broken relationship is restored. Join us for an hour-long trip into faith, forgiveness and reconciliation, an African story of grace.
Visit http://www.interfaithbroadcasting.com/vv.aspx for more information or air date and time in your area. ABC stations have a window in which to broadcast this program through December 2009.
Ready to Forgive: An African Story of Grace is a production of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America www.elca.org/readytoforgive for the National Council of Churches and the Interfaith Broadcast Commission.
