The phone rang a couple of months ago and the lady on the other end of the phone line ask me and my wife of nearly 30 years to provide support for a sports evangelism team going to Rio de Janeiro. Since that time, we have been through orientation, met all of the team members, emailed some of the local missionaries, and acquired a ton of stuff to take along to give away as gifts and souvenirs.
Today, we launched a blog for the project. The Rio Journal will be the official reporting tool for the trip's activities. The chase for the Dragon on this occasion will include a mad scramble to deliver photo stills, video, and copy in a country where we do not yet have good information...only that there are cyber cafes near the hotel where we will be staying. Bloggers from other parts of the country have pooh-poohed the use of Flash as a delivery system for multimedia, but thus far, it appears to have more functionality than any similarly priced package. If you are interested, follow The Rio Journal over the next three weeks. After that, I will be back to Chasing the Dragon's Tale.
