He has acted in or directed over 50 stage productions including the film discussed on this broadcast. He also serves as a pastor in Greenville, South Carolina.There are many Christians today, including pastors, who are denying the Lord, maybe not in word, but in their actions as they compromise with this world.This kind of activity is portrayed in the powerful production of the remastered film from 1990 called, The Printing. This movie is based upon real life experiences of people in the former Soviet Union in the early 1980's.The Printing dramatically demonstrates the risk taken by Christians, not to merely smuggle Bibles into the Soviet Union, but to print the Scriptures there.
