Rich on the Road

After previous posts, touting upcoming stories, I had a couple of requests for a heads up when the stories actually were set to air.  Two of them air tonight -- one at 5pm and 9pm -- the other at 9pm on Fox 4 News.  Consider yourself four-warned about ---

CHINA

Catherine and I spent 12 days in China earlier this spring on vacation (I blogged extensively about the fascinating journey) and I returned with a news story.  In fact, just weeks before I left for China I found myself at a luncheon with Mark Yarbrough from Dallas Theological Seminary, talking about DTS's remarkable and groundbreaking effort to train Christian leaders in China over the internet -- and with the full knowledge of the Chinese government, so long repressive of Christians in their midst.  I don't think it was a coincidence that I found myself at that luncheon at the same table with Mark Yarbrough three weeks before I left for China.  Doors have been opened for me to tell the remarkable story of China's changing policy on Christianity and the major role DTS is playing in that.  Please watch the story at 5pm or 9pm -- better yet, view it on the website later this evening.

NY TX ZIPLING ADVENTURES

This is fun stuff -- part of the Lone Star Adventure series and a brand new ziplining tour near New York, Texas (east of Athens).  Again, I've blogged about it before and a couple of you asked that I give you a heads up when the story was airing.  Tonight at 9pm.  And, on the website earlier in the evening.  A few years ago zipline or canopy tours were available only in places like Costa Rica.  Now they've come to East Texas and this one is absolutely terrific.
