I just returned from a week-long trip to the Bahamas to film a story about a church that sent its one and only pastor to the Sovereign Grace Ministries Pastors College last year. It's an unusual twist on the SGM Mission Presentation because I'm not aware of any other church that sacrificed so much to send their beloved pastor away for nearly a year. The footage looks amazing (how could it not in a place like Nassau?) and I'm eager to start cutting this piece together.
In the meantime, here is another round of travel highlights. Peter Bang is up first, showing off his Bahamian meal of conch salad and conch fritters. Next is a picture of the cruise ships that dock in the Hilton's backyard -- we saw different lines cruising in every day. (This picture was taken from the hotel beach.) The third picture is senior pastor Cedric Moss and his wife, Alexine, during one of our sunset beach shoots with them. The fourth is the pink governments buildings near Parliament Street. Following that is a photo of Cedric and Alexine Moss with their friends, Lynden and Shelly Nairn. Lynden was one of the men tapped to form the lay leadership team while Cedric was at the Pastors College.
The next photo is of the extravagant Atlantis resort on nearby Paradise Island. The place is ginormous. We walked for about two hours, just checking out the seemingly endless marine displays. I caught this shot of a manta ray gliding overhead and a close-up of the venomous lionfish.
It was hard to leave island life, but we managed to do it.
All I can say is you have the best job ever! And are you hiring? Or need an intern?! LOL. Can't wait to see the final piece at church (SGC Pasadena).

I've been a regular reader of your blog for several years now. It was such a pleasant surprise to see a post about the Bahamas as it is my home.
