Triumph, The Life and Legacy of Henry Opukaha’ia
Sorry, no Moravians until tomorrow. But until then, I must share with you that I had a wonderful conversation with Mark Ramquist, a former missionary to Japan. Over lunch he shared with me his passion for acting and screenwriting –and I suggested a subject for a powerful movie, the life of Henry Opukaha’ia. I had actually been thinking about a Henry Opukaha’ia movie before, when I read his memoirs I was left breathless –they are so incredibly powerful and they would be great as a movie.
I think people must be tired of hearing me talk about Henry Opukaha’ia; I’ve shared his story with so many people –especially my Hawaiian friends. This has got me thinking, I’m going to make a concerted effort to outline the plot and write a script for a movie about his life and the effects that it had on Hawaii. How God used one boy to change an entire nation. I think this is a good project for me to take up as I consider graduate school. More to come.
