About a dozen people have been able to see a sneak peek of Your Secret Name video (produced by Josh Franer, music “Stay” by Robbie Seay Band.)

I’ve heard reports of “how it touched you and led you to tears.”

Sixty of you have been praying and fasting since November 1, in order that God would use this project to free people.

Props to those who have caught the vision and invited all your friends with a few easy clicks. As a thank you, we’ve put your name in the prize box 10 extra times. For other who want to, just send me an email, subject line “10 extra chances” after you do.) We want your friends to discover their secret names too.

Others of you have taken advantage of my offer to link back to your website or blog or facebook by posting a link to YOUR SECRET NAME or by posting the super sweet widget see below. (BTW – The offer still stands for those who want to link.) I appreciate it:
