Steve McLean just posted:

"I would like to recommend heartily The Life of David Brainerd, a DVD produced by our friend, Joe Tyrpak of ChurchWorksMedia.com. This beautifully made documentary is a fascinating, informative overview of the life of David Brainerd, whose story has inspired Christians for two and half centuries. Enlisting the help of several historians/scholars, Joe (practically a Brainerd expert himself!) makes the story of Brainerd relevant for today's Christian in a way that is engaging and edifying."

Thanks, Steve!

Mark Perry just posted on his FB timeline an encouraging review of the Brainerd documentary:

"Was challenged and stirred by the Life of Brainerd DVD from ChurchWorksMedia.com. This man's life and devotion has spurred on generations of pioneer missionaries to see Jesus Christ known and worshiped by those in darkness. I strongly encourage you to get this DVD and watch it, and make sure you read the quotations interspersed with the credits at the end. Thanks, Joe Tyrpak for your work on this!"

Thanks, Mark!
