Recorded: Yes

This presentation will give you an overview of the earliest works inspired by Les Misérables – including illustrations, comics, poems, pamphlets, and novels. Which ones will stand the test of time? And what can these works tell us about the book’s reception and impact? Come learn about the forgotten, but fascinating first transformative works about Les Misérables.

Black and Pink International

Friday, 21:00-22:00 UTC

Session Type: Panel Presentation

Presented by: Darryl Brown Jr. (he/him), Senior Director of Programs and Advocacy, Black and Pink National. Kenna Barnes (she/they), Advocacy Manager, Black and Pink National

Recorded: Yes

This year, Barricades Con is donating all profits to Black and Pink International.

Black & Pink National is a prison abolitionist organization dedicated to abolishing the criminal punishment system and liberating LGBTQIA2S+ people and people living with HIV/AIDS who are affected by that system through advocacy, support, and organizing. Programming includes wrap-around services for those coming out of the carceral system such as but not limited to workforce development, transitional housing, newsletters to inside members and penpal matching, nationwide Chapters, youth-led research about young people living with HIV, and programming for and by people who do sex work.

Sex work as an issue sits clearly at the intersection of reproductive justice, prison abolition, and trans and queer liberation. Black trans women who engage in sex work face some of the highest rates of policing and surveillance, directly interfering with their ability to access safety and autonomy. We know that when we center the needs of Black trans women, especially those who engage in sex work, we are inherently able to address the needs of other system-impacted people along the way.

The Sex Worker Liberation Project (SWLP) is a collaboration between Black and Pink National and a network of current and former LGBTQIA2S+ people who do sex work across the country. This sex worker led group moves with the intention of building community, providing resources, and cultivating self advocacy tools.The SWLP is on a mission to tackle the urgent and multifaceted issues confronting sex workers, with a specific emphasis on the challenges faced by Black and Brown LGBTQIA2S+ sex workers.

Beat by Beat: a Les Mis 2012 Deconstruction

Friday, 22:00-23:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Eli

Recorded: Yes

To quote Eli: “As an avid Les Mis fan and also someone with an MFA in screenwriting, I find the script for the Les Mis 2012 movie absolutely fascinating. The choices they made, the added brick scenes, the added song, the pacing, the dialogue, the shots selection—all of it contributes to a very interesting adaptation that our fandom owes a huge debt of gratitude to (whether we like it or not 🥲). I would like to take an audience through the 9 major beats of a screenplay, apply it to Les Mis 2012, and share my thoughts on what the filmmakers did right for this adaptation and what they did wrong. I’ll compare it to the Les Mis musical (the direct source material) as well as the Brick (the secondary source material) for insight on the choices they made!”

Guest of Honor: The Photography of Jean Baptiste Hugo

Saturday, 15:00-16:00 UTC

Session Type: Guest of Honor

Presented by: Jean Baptiste  Hugo

Recorded: yes

Jean Baptiste Hugo is the great-great-grandson of Victor Hugo. He has extensively photographed Hugo’s home in exile on Guernsey, which Victor Hugo decorated following his own aesthetic philosophies–in particular, the journey from darkness into light, which we see reflected throughout Hugo’s literary career. M. Hugo will share his photographs and discuss Hauteville House as a physical realization of his ancestor’s ideas.

Reflecting on Directing Les Mis

Saturday, 16:00-17:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Cait

Recorded: yes

In Cait’s words: “I directed an amateur production of Les Mis at the end of last year, and would love to talk about how that went and share snippets from the show and behind the scenes. This will include talking about adapting Les Mis for the space and budget, approaches to certain scenes, dual casting lead roles, and probably raving about my lovely cast.”

The Fallibility of History in Les Misérables 

Saturday, 16:00-17:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Syrup 

Recorded: yes

Throughout Les Misérables, Hugo often reminds readers that what they are reading is derived from some form of documentation or hearsay. While this serves to provide credibility to the tales he is sharing, there are certain moments where Hugo opts out of describing exact details, despite his efforts at a historically-accurate record. In this panel, I will take a look at these instances where Hugo either addresses or obfuscates these events, and how by doing so, he reveals the fallibility of history, and highlights how history documentations are not always as reliable as they seem. Thesis: By crafting Les Misérables as a form of historical documentation, Hugo reveals the fallibility of history, and readers are able to understand how history and history documentation are not always as reliable as they seem.

Saturday, 17:00-18:00 UTC

What Horizon: Tragedies, Time Loops, and the Hopefulness of Les Amis

Saturday, 18:00-18:30  UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Percy

Recorded: yes

In Percy’s words: “I have directed a staged reading of the play and will have video clips to show! My play is focused on the rebellion and Les Amis; it aims to give the barricades the attention they often lack in adaptation and develop the individual characters of the insurgents. I’m working to make this episode of the Hugo novel and its historical context accessible to audience members who may not be familiar with the source material, while hopefully also bringing something new to the story for longtime fans.

One aspect of the story I’m particularly interested in examining is the persistent sense of hope associated with the barricades, despite the insurgents’ eventual defeat and the previous failure of the July Revolution. Linking the seemingly cyclical process of revolution and restoration, the metatheatrical tradition of tragedies aware of their own repetition in performance before the audience, and the nature of Les Misérables itself as a story that has been told and retold countless times, I hope to show the audience the worth of the insurgents’ struggle and the importance of their continued efforts. Many adaptations construe the rebellion as futile or as solely a tragic story, so I would like my adaptation to counter that idea, as Les Amis grapple with the meaning of their sacrifice and the impacts of their actions.

In a presentation, I would discuss these ideas with reference to Hugo’s original text and the ways in which the rebellion has been changed in adaptation, as well as other works that inspired me (namely Hadestown and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead). I’d discuss the choices I made in my adaptation process and show clips from the staged reading, touching on the different characters and the historical setting as well as the overarching themes with which I engaged.”

Cosette: A Novel, The (Fanmade) Sequel to Les Misérables

Saturday, 18:30-19:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: IMiserabili

Recorded: yes

This presentation is  a deep-dive into the 1995 fanfiction “Cosette” by Laura Kalpakian. It will include a short background on the author and the publication, a summary of the plot, an analysis of represented historical events in the work, character analyses and comparisons to the source material and other Les Mis adaptations, and memorable quotes. 

Musical Eponine and Grantaire in song and lyric edits: Personal research on their development

Saturday, 18:00-19:00 UTC

Session Type: Panel Presentation

Presented by: Ruth Kenyon

Recorded: yes

In Ruth’s words: “I’m an older musical Les Misérables fan who has watched the show develop from its beginnings at the Palace Theatre. I have a special interest in how the lyrics and the characters have changed over time. As plenty of people know now, I am also writing a book on the musical using these experiences. I’m working on Eponine’s chapter at the moment, and while I know fans have a lot of love for as she is now, I feel quite upset to see what happened to her as she was developed from the original French version of the musical. She seems to have lost quite a lot of emotional agency along the way. Grantaire has also changed over time; he was cut before the previews and there was a big re-write of his character when the show went to Broadway, but I really like what they have done with his character. I’ll provide examples of all this detail with material from my book and (trying) to sing bits of lyrics to explain what has happened to the characters.”

Barricades as a Tactic: How Do They Work?

Saturday, 19:00-20:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Lem

Recorded: No

This session will explore the tactical and strategic uses of barricades, with an eye towards what to consider when writing both canon-era fanfiction and modern AUs. After all, the strategic goals towards which the barricades were used in canon-era urban warfare were often quite different from the strategic goals of similar-looking tactics in contemporary protest movements. Core components of the session will be a map-based analysis of July 1830, a comparison with June 1832 highlighting strategic goals and considerations canon-era characters would have, and an exploration of various parallels among contemporary protest tactics (which may or may not *look* like barricades).

Why is There a Roller Coaster in Les Mis? The Strange History of the Russian Mountains

Saturday, 21:00-22:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Peyton Parker/Mellow

Recorded: Yes

In Les Miserables there is an actual canon scene where Fantine rides a roller coaster. How did a roller coaster end up in Paris in 1817? And why did this ride, one of the world's first wheeled Roller Coasters, make a cameo in Victor Hugo’s novel?

It’s “Les Mis Meets Defunctland.”

We’re going talk about the earliest origins of the Russian Mountains, the fascinating history behind how they came to France, their many connections to the political turmoil of the time period, what they felt like to ride, why they were shut down, how they fell into obscurity, and why Victor Hugo included them in Les Miserables. It’s time for a roller coaster digression.

Obscure(-ish) Les Mis Adaptations To Watch

Saturday, 23:00-23:30 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Pureanon

Recorded: Yes

Les Mis has been adapted many times over the years, and this means there’s a lot of adaptations to enjoy. Because of this, a lot of adaptations are underviewed or underappreciated. I’d like to use this panel to discuss some of my favorites/the most unique — 1925, 1948, 1967, and 1995. These are all very different, and aside from all being ones I enjoy, they’re fascinating looks at how different countries and different time periods adapt this story. 

The adaptations I’ve chosen are both some of the best and some of the worst out there, but they’re all unique. 1925 is one of the most faithful adaptations out there, and it uses the medium of silent film to full effect. 1948 has Valean get shot at multiple times in the opening minutes, and the revolutionaries fight with BARRELS in the barricade. 1967 is half one of the best Anglophone Les Mis adaptations ever, and half the drunkest. 1995 is more of an adaptation of how people react to Les Mis as a story than a straightforward adaptation, and it’s one of the most beautiful and unique versions out there. I intend to show a clip from each adaptation, so people can get a little taste of what each adaptation is like.

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Ellen Fremedon, Pilferingapples

Recorded: Yes

Grantaire and Marius are the two characters on the fringes of the Friends of the ABC, connected to the group by social ties rather than sincere political belief. In this panel, Pilf and Ellen will discuss the two characters as narrative foils, touching along the way on the problem with Great Men, bourgeois inaction, what it means to have the republic as a mother, and dying for love–plus those two pistols in Marius’s pocket.

Femme/butch: Dynamics of Gender and Attraction in Les Mis

Saturday, 15:00-15:30 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Eléna

Recorded: Yes

In Eléna’s words: “This is a presentation about parallels between femme/butch dynamics and les mis! The focus is on Marius, Cosette and Eponine and their individual gender presentation and attraction. There will be a focus on the original text, but I will also talk about headcanons & representation in the fandom space! I’m a femme myself, but I’ll try to incorporate butch and transmasculine viewpoints!”

Lee’s Misérables: Jean Valjean, Confederate Hero

Saturday, 15:30-16:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation

Presented by: Sarah C. Maza

Recorded: Yes

Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables (1862) was as big a success in the United States as elsewhere in the world upon publication, hailed throughout the young nation as the commanding masterpiece of modern French literature. Why would a novel that celebrates violent insurrection and radical republican ideals be so warmly received in America? One of the (many) answers to that question is that the novel appeared in the midst of the Civil War, and that it provided engrossing reading to the many soldiers stuck in place for weeks or months in camp, hospitals, and prisons. Most surprising, though, is the evidence of Les Misérables’ appeal to Confederate soldiers (who jokingly called themselves “Lee’s Misérables”), as Hugo was on record as an ardent abolitionist. My paper will illustrate and explain the paradoxical appeal of Hugo’s novel in the South in two contexts: first, I will draw attention to the ways in which Confederate nationalists likened their cause to the European Revolutions of 1848; and second, I will explain the novel’s resonance within what Wolfgang Schievelbusch has called the “culture of defeat,” the emotional resonance, in some historical contexts, of narratives of doomed causes and heroic failure.

1848 in Chile: The Society of Equality and the Siege of La Serena

Sunday, 18:00-19:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academc Presentation

Presented by: Duncan Riley

Recorded: Yes

While the Revolutions of 1848 are traditionally seen as a European event, they had a powerful influence in Latin America. In Chile in particular, university students who studied in France during the revolutions would lead a movement to oust the conservative dictatorship that had ruled the country since the 1830s. Inspired by the poetry of Alphonse de Lamartine and the ideals of utopian socialism, a group of Chilean intellectuals and artisans founded “The Society of Equality,” a cross-class political club dedicated to creating a democratic and participatory republic. Inspired by these ideals, in 1851 the citizens of La Serena, a mining town in northern Chile, declared their independence from the central government. Members of the Society of Equality transformed La Serena into the torchbearer of their vision of a new “democratic republic” that would restore civil liberties and grant greater autonomy to Chile’s provinces and municipalities. In defense of these principles, La Serena endured a months-long siege by government forces. The conflict inscribed itself within broader international dynamics of revolution and empire, as the British Royal Navy Intervened on the side of the government, while French immigrants built barricades to defend La Serena from invasion. Ultimately, then, La Serena and the Chilean Revolution of 1851 provide a fascinating window into the transatlantic exchanges of ideas that drove movements of democratic reform in both Europe and Latin America during the Revolutions of 1848.

The Unknown Light Examined

Sunday, 18:00-19:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Presentation

Presented by: Madeleine

Recorded: Yes

In the tenth chapter of Les Misérables, Bishop Myriel sets out to perform the last rights of Conventionnel G, a man reviled by all of Digne for having served on the body that voted to execute the king during the French Revolution. The bishop and the dying man debate the nature of equality, divine authority, and resistance to oppression. G’s fierce defense of the French revolution and Myriel’s staunch condemnation of political violence represent diametrically opposed philosophies, but the two men have more in common than first appears. They are both men of faith, in their own way, called to serve by their profound love for humanity. Intensely shaken by this realization, the bishop kneels before the dying sinner and asks his blessing.

What does this role reversal signify? How do Myriel and G’s conceptualizations of God and morality compare, and why does Hugo seek to reconcile them? To answer these questions, this panel investigates the thematic implications of this chapter. We’ll dissect the characters’ debate, discussing the historical and religious context that informs their moral frameworks—and Hugo’s depiction of them. Drawing on analysis by literary scholars, we’ll situate Hugo’s portrayal of the bishop and the conventionnel within this same context, evaluating the extent to which G is based on the Abbé Grégoire. We’ll also examine the impact of this chapter on Bishop Myriel’s characterization and symbolic role in the novel. Lastly, we’ll explore how “The Bishop in the Presence of an Unknown Light" serves as a political and philosophical thesis for Les Misérables.

GJ and ZZH Updates — September 17-23

previous week || all posts || following week

This is part of a weekly series collecting updates from and relating to Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan.

This post is not wholly comprehensive and is intended as an overview, links provided lead to further details. Dates are in accordance with China Standard Time, the organization is chronological. My own biases on some things are reflected here. Anything I include that is not concretely known is indicated as such, and you’re welcome to do your own research and draw your own conclusions as you see fit. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or additions. :)

[Glossary of names and terms] [Masterlist of my posts about the situation with Zhang Zhehan]

09-17 → MYFM hosted a video interview with one of the Zhang Zhehan impersonators. Addition 10-01: One of the jokes he told was directly copying one Gong Jun told in a livestream on 2022-11-05.

→ Hogan posted a promotional video spoken by Gong Jun announcing his attendance at Milan Fashion Week. They later posted four photos of Gong Jun in New York.

→ The scam concert in Kuala Lumpur was held. - In photos posted by fans attending, the venue looked to be less than half full at the time in started. Photos later released by the scam gang have the audience photoshopped to look larger than the venue even allowed for. - Zhang Sanjian wore a very cheap looking copy of the white Zhou Zishu robes Zhang Zhehan wore during the Word of Honor concert. (Also a reminder that the original robes were given away in a raffle after the WOH concert.) - [Here] is my post about the Bangkok concerts if you would like to revisit it, this one was much of the same.

→ Gong Jun posted 51 photos of himself getting to act like a tourist in New York. Caption: "Update world favourites." He also posted eight to his Instagram, caption: "Lost in New York" (originally in English) and sixteen to his Xiao Hong Shu, caption: "Did you see it?? I'm in New York", with both of these latter posts including a couple photos not in his Weibo post. Fan Observations: - The IP on the both the Weibo and Xiao Hong Shu posts are Beijing. It was posted while Gong Jun was on his flight to Milan, so presumably they was posted by someone other than Gong Jun himself; if he was using in-flight wifi, there's no logical reason for the IP to be Beijing. Gong Jun has said before that he does not let staff manage his personal accounts. - The Weibo post was also made shortly after the KL concert started. Consider again the "Did you see it??" XHS caption: Gong Jun is in New York, someone he trusts is in Beijing. [record of timestamps] - (Because I'm a nerd,) the statues Gong Jun took pictures with at the Met are Andromeda and the Sea Monster, Sappho, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux at Work, and The Martyr.

→ Gong Jun's studio posted nine more photos of him in New York. Caption: "Traveling through the city corners, every moment is a moment worth recording~ Collect the world with @ Gong Jun Simon🏙️"

→ The Instagram made two posts, the first with two photos from prepping for the concert, the second with ten of the concert itself. Zhang Sanjian's appearance in these photos is noticeably different from in fancams.

09-18 → Gong Jun reposted a post by CCTV in memory of the Mukden Incident. Added caption: "Don’t forget the shame of the past, we should strengthen ourselves!" His studio did the same, added caption: "Don’t forget history, the alarm bells are ringing!"

09-19 → Net-A-Porter posted a teaser for the commercial featuring Gong Jun that would be released the following day.

09-20 → Zhang Sanjian was filmed at Heathrow airport, because he always needs to fail horribly at trying to one-up Gong Jun.

→ Gong Jun's studio posted a commercial he did for Net-A-Porter. The same was also posted by Net-A-Porter.

→ Net-A-Porter posted four photo ads featuring Gong Jun.

→ 361° posted four photo ads featuring Gong Jun. (1129 kadian)

→ Tissot posted a promotional video spoken by Gong Jun. (1129 kadian)

→ Gong Jun posted the four Net-A-Porter photo ads to his Instagram. Caption: "Happy birthday to NAP!"

→ Gong Jun posted a douyin of himself in New York. Caption: "A very new citywalk #fashionweek special plan" BGM is Poison by Zhou Xingxing.

→ Gong Jun attended a brand event for Hogan in Milan. Videos: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

→ Hogan posted a promotional video spoken by Gong Jun, filmed on the same day.

→ Gong Jun's studio posted three behind the scenes photos from the Net-A-Porter shoot. Caption: "The seasons change with just one click during work breaks! @ Gong Jun Simon’s good night letter is delivered~"

09-21 → The first trailer for Gong Jun's upcoming drama Fox Spirit Matchmaker was released.

→ Gong Jun posted the Fox Spirit trailer. Caption: "Coming from Tushan, carrying the idea of ​​equality for all living beings, has compassion for the world, and breaks the prejudice of different paths." His studio reposted this with the added caption, "A sincere voice and a thought of reincarnation. See Tushan resolve disputes and express love."

→ Hogan posted nine photos of Gong Jun attending their brand event in Milan. (1129 kadian)

→ Net-A-Porter posted a brand vlog of Gong Jun in New York. [subbed video]

→ GXG posted six photo ads featuring Gong Jun.

New Title Tuesday: Thrillers

Midnight is the Darkest Hour by Ashley Winstead

For fans of Verity and A Flicker in the Dark, this is a twisted tale of murder, obsessive love, and the beastly urges that lie dormant within us all...even the God-fearing folk of Bottom Springs, Louisiana. In her small hometown, librarian Ruth Cornier has always felt like an outsider, even as her beloved father rains fire-and-brimstone warnings from the pulpit at Holy Fire Baptist.

Unfortunately for Ruth, the only things the townspeople fear more than the God and the Devil are the myths that haunt the area, like the story of the Low Man, a vampiric figure said to steal into sinners' bedrooms and kill them on moonless nights. When a skull is found deep in the swamp next to mysterious carved symbols, Bottom Springs is thrown into uproar—and Ruth realizes only she and Everett, an old friend with a dark past, have the power to comb the town's secret underbelly in search of true evil.

The Reformatory by Tananarive Due

Gracetown, Florida, June 1950: Twelve-year-old Robbie Stephens, Jr., is sentenced to six months at the Gracetown School for Boys, a reformatory, for kicking the son of the largest landowner in town in defense of his older sister, Gloria. So begins Robbie’s journey further into the terrors of the Jim Crow South and the very real horror of the school they call The Reformatory.

Robbie has a talent for seeing ghosts, or haints. But what was once a comfort to him after the loss of his mother has become a window to the truth of what happens at the reformatory. Boys forced to work to remediate their so-called crimes have gone missing, but the haints Robbie sees hint at worse things. Through his friends Redbone and Blue, Robbie is learning not just the rules but how to survive. Meanwhile, Gloria is rallying every family member and connection in Florida to find a way to get Robbie out before it’s too late.

The Spy Coast by Tess Gerritsen

Former spy Maggie Bird came to the seaside village of Purity, Maine, eager to put the past behind her after a mission went tragically wrong. These days, she’s living quietly on her chicken farm, still wary of blowback from the events that forced her early retirement.

But when a body turns up in Maggie’s driveway, she knows it’s a message from former foes who haven’t forgotten her. Maggie turns to her local circle of old friends—all retirees from the CIA—to help uncover the truth about who is trying to kill her, and why. This “Martini Club” of former spies may be retired, but they still have a few useful skills that they’re eager to use again, if only to spice up their rather sedate new lives.

Complicating their efforts is Purity’s acting police chief, Jo Thibodeau. More accustomed to dealing with rowdy tourists than homicide, Jo is puzzled by Maggie’s reluctance to share information—and by her odd circle of friends, who seem to be a step ahead of her at every turn.

As Jo’s investigation collides with the Martini Club’s maneuvers, Maggie’s hunt for answers will force her to revisit a clandestine career that spanned the globe, from Bangkok to Istanbul, from London to Malta. The ghosts of her past have returned, but with the help of her friends—and the reluctant Jo Thibodeau—Maggie might just be able to save the life she’s built.

This is the first volume of "The Martini Club" series.

When I'm Dead by Hannah Morrissey

On a bone-chilling October night, Medical Examiner Rowan Winthorp investigates the death of her daughter’s best friend. Hours later, the tragedy hits even closer to home when she makes a devastating discovery—her daughter, Chloe, is gone. But, not without a trace.

A morbid mosaic of clues forces Rowan and her husband to question how deeply they really knew their daughter. As they work closely to peel back the layers of this case, they begin to unearth disturbing details about Chloe and her secret transgressions…details that threaten to tear them apart.

Amidst the noise of navigating her newfound grief and reconciling the sins of her past, an undeniable fact rings true for Rowan: karma has finally come to collect.

This is the third volume of the "Black Harbor" series.

"Reaching The Nations"

We’re wrapping up our “Reach” teaching series today. This has been a great series with an emphasis on an outward focus on our neighbors and the nations fueled by a genuine and powerful filling of the Holy Spirit.

1) God’s Heart for the Nations God has a heart for the nations that stretches from one end if the Bible to the other:

John 3:16 – “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

Revelation 7:9-10 – “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’”

I want you to know that the same Gospel that God commands us to verbalize to our neighbors is the same Gospel that God commands us to verbalize to the nations.

2) Our Reach to the Nations At Crossgate Church, we have a heartbeat for the nations, and it’s displayed along three lines.

We pray for the nations. We make it a point to pray for those on the international mission field, especially that they would realize a harvest of lives transformed by the power of the Gospel.

We go to the nations. We send people to the nations at Crossgate Church in two ways: We currently have two full-time, long-term missionary families from Crossgate Church. The Shipp family in Bangkok, Thailand and the Rickett Family in the Pacific Island nation of Vanuatu. These families have been sent from our church and we’re excited about what God is doing through them.

We also send short-term mission teams, most recently to remote and forgotten villages along the Amazon River in partnership with the missionary sending organization, Amazon Outreach.

We give for the nations. At Crossgate Church, we give for the nations along two lines:

First, as of this year, 10 percent of your tithe gifts given to Crossgate Church go directly to missions, both local and international. To my knowledge, that’s the highest percentage toward missions in the history of Crossgate Church. Part of that ten percent goes toward the International Mission Board, which is the international sending agency of the Southern Baptist Convention—the denomination with which we partner. That supports missionaries all over the world.

Second, last fall, we introduced the idea of bi-annual missions offerings for very specific initiatives and projects. These offerings provide direct opportunities for everyone to put their hands on the missionary enterprise here at Crossgate.

Conclusion: Ask yourself, and more importantly ask God, “What role will I play in my praying, my going, and my giving that will add people to that great multitude?”

July 2021 Update.

Greetings, As I write this (long overdue) update, I'm currently sitting in my office at our new house in Bangkok. As many of you know from previous updates, we'd spent the last 9 years in the Northeastern province of Kalasin, about 8 hours from where we are now. But as of the end of April, Bangkok has become our new home for the time being. Being that where we live is considered a red zone for the Covid outbreak, our freedom & interaction with others has been restricted to varying degrees throughout the last 2.5 months that we've been here. Unfortunately, that has meant that we've not gotten to meet in person with our new church community, Grace City. However, we have been able to be a part of the weekly online meetings & our family has also been getting to participate in a cell group at the pastor's house twice a month. Although the Covid situation has produced barriers to normal life for us (& millions of others), thankfully life hasn't come to a full-on standstill. We've still been able to move forward with various projects & opportunities, which I'd like to share about briefly below. 1. Translation Projects *Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full by Gloria Furman, a book project that will be made freely available for Thai mothers, is just about ready to print. Lord willing, I should be able to give the publisher the green light to start publishing within a week. Thank you to those of you who contributed to that project. We raised more than enough money to print 4,000 copies of the book. Your generosity is appreciated & will soon become a blessing to others as the book begins to be distributed & read by Thai Christian women throughout the country. *The Biggest Story by Kevin Deyoung is another book project that I'm happy to be able to announce should also be available in Thai later this year. The Biggest Story is a children's book that helps provide an overview of the Bible story with Jesus as the hero, accompanied by superb artwork. We've collaborated with another church in Bangkok in taking on this project & I will be following up with the U.S. publisher soon about getting rights for the book. The final draft should be done sometime within the next month. 2. Online Teaching Since we've been in Bangkok, I've had more time & opportunity to pursue filming teachings about the Scriptures & the gospel. Some time ago, after moving here, I was invited by the Pastor of our new church to produce short, weekly videos for the congregation of Grace City as a means of encouraging the believers in the church during the Covid situation. Also, I run a Youtube & Facebook page that provides biblical teaching for Thai people & I've been able to stay more consistent in updating those since we moved here. It seems to me that my desire (& hopefully gifting) lines up with a need I see in the Thai church for more Scripture-saturated content online. I hope to buy a new video camera in the near future to aid in producing longer videos (my current camera limits me to 10-minute videos). As I've requested prayer before, so I ask again. Please pray that my heart & motives would be pure as I create content to make available online before the eyes of others. May the exaltation of Christ's name, not mine, be my aim & desire. I confess, along with John the Baptist, "I am not the Christ." (John 1:20) 3. Mali's Homeschooling Mali's development in her homeschooling has been encouraging to watch. Currently we're doing Thai & English with her (taught by Oy & myself, respectively). She recently finished up learning the Thai alphabet (44 characters) & she's also working on reading through short stories in English. In the near future, we're going to try & introduce her to a more formal curriculum from the United States, most likely something from Sonlight's homeschool curriculum. Currently looking online for a reasonably-priced curriculum for her. 4. 9-year anniversary trip Despite recent Covid restrictions, we were still able to get down to the beach as a family on a recent anniversary trip for a few days last month. It is God's grace that has brought us through these last 9 years together. I've often thought of our relationship as a kind of "growing through fire". That may sound a bit depressing to some, but it is reality. At the same time, there has been lots of sunshine to be thankful for as well. Simply put, we've been through a lot together. And I trust that the God of all grace who has brought us this far will sustain us till the end. 5. College Classes My schooling at Bangkok Bible Seminary has been underway since January & I just recently started the 2nd semester of my first year there. Doing classes online (which I wasn't planning originally), creates an opportunity to do more ministry & spend more time with my family. I will need to be diligent with my schedule/studies in order stay on track in tackling each day's activities successfully & in a timely manner. 6. Etc. In addition to the above, I wanted to share that Oy went in for surgery last week to remove some internal cysts that had been causing her pain for probably half of her life. A generous donor offered to pay for the procedure. Praise The Lord for a successful surgery. She's been taking it a bit easy & should be fully recovered from the surgery sometime in the next couple weeks. Also, I've apologized for the infrequent updates a number of times now, but I've not followed through with my intentions to do better & update more consistently. Please forgive me for this as it displays both a lack of faithfulness to my word & appreciation for you, among other things. I want to attack this area (& related issues) with more of a Holy Spirit-empowered fervency then I have prior. No excuses here. I hope to have another update out sometime before the end of August. If you don't receive one from me by then, please feel free to write & check in with me about it. In conclusion, thank you to all of you who have prayed for us and/or contributed financially.  We still desire to serve the Thai people & the Thai church with the gospel. Being finite & weak in ourselves, we need divine assistance to continue doing these things. Your prayers are appreciated in this regard. We are weak, but our Lord is strong. I know it can be difficult to maintain long-distance relationships (like keeping up with us) when so much is going on at home in your own lives already. So thank you for your selflessness in bearing our burdens with us. May The Lord bless you, The Voetbergs Bangkok, Thailand July 2021

Black and Pink International Friday, 21:00-22:00 UTC

Session Type: Panel Presentation Presented by: Darryl Brown Jr. (he/him), Senior Director of Programs and Advocacy, Black and Pink National. Kenna Barnes (she/they), Advocacy Manager, Black and Pink National Recorded: Yes

This year, Barricades Con is donating all profits to Black and Pink International.

Black & Pink National is a prison abolitionist organization dedicated to abolishing the criminal punishment system and liberating LGBTQIA2S+ people and people living with HIV/AIDS who are affected by that system through advocacy, support, and organizing. Programming includes wrap-around services for those coming out of the carceral system such as but not limited to workforce development, transitional housing, newsletters to inside members and penpal matching, nationwide Chapters, youth-led research about young people living with HIV, and programming for and by people who do sex work.

Sex work as an issue sits clearly at the intersection of reproductive justice, prison abolition, and trans and queer liberation. Black trans women who engage in sex work face some of the highest rates of policing and surveillance, directly interfering with their ability to access safety and autonomy. We know that when we center the needs of Black trans women, especially those who engage in sex work, we are inherently able to address the needs of other system-impacted people along the way.

The Sex Worker Liberation Project (SWLP) is a collaboration between Black and Pink National and a network of current and former LGBTQIA2S+ people who do sex work across the country. This sex worker led group moves with the intention of building community, providing resources, and cultivating self advocacy tools.The SWLP is on a mission to tackle the urgent and multifaceted issues confronting sex workers, with a specific emphasis on the challenges faced by Black and Brown LGBTQIA2S+ sex workers.

Beat by Beat: a Les Mis 2012 Deconstruction Friday, 22:00-23:00 UTC

Session Type: Fan/Academic Panel Presentation Presented by: Eli Recorded: Yes

To quote Eli: “As an avid Les Mis fan and also someone with an MFA in screenwriting, I find the script for the Les Mis 2012 movie absolutely fascinating. The choices they made, the added brick scenes, the added song, the pacing, the dialogue, the shots selection—all of it contributes to a very interesting adaptation that our fandom owes a huge debt of gratitude to (whether we like it or not 🥲). I would like to take an audience through the 9 major beats of a screenplay, apply it to Les Mis 2012, and share my thoughts on what the filmmakers did right for this adaptation and what they did wrong. I’ll compare it to the Les Mis musical (the direct source material) as well as the Brick (the secondary source material) for insight on the choices they made!”

History Researcher Meetup Friday, 23:00-24:00 UTC

Session Type: Social Meetup Presented by: David Montgomery Recorded: No A chance for history researchers to meet up and discuss their research!

(2014) Jason Polley, who teaches English at Hong Kong Baptist University, said the problem started a day after he arrived in the country last Tuesday, when a local person took a picture of his Buddha tattoos and posted it to Facebook.

The photo apparently went viral in the southeast Asian country, which experiences Buddhist-Muslim conflict and has many who consider lower body parts unclean.

In an interview from Bangkok, Polley said about 15 tourism officials came to his hotel in Inle Lake, north of the capital Yangon, on Saturday night and “accosted” him in the lobby. ...  Polley, of Russell, Ont., is a Mahayana Buddhist and his tattoos, which chart the religion’s development, are on his leg to represent a pillar of support. ... Polley said the officials’ tone became kinder after questioning him when they seemed to realize he wasn’t an Islamic “fundamentalist.” ... But an hour later, Polley said, he and Lam were given two hours to gather their belongings. The officials then put him and his Hong Kong girlfriend, Margaret Lam, on a 15-hour car ride to the airport, Polley said.While officials initially told him he was to be deported, Polley said, other officials said he was being asked to leave the country for his own safety.Polley said there is no Canadian embassy in Myanmar, and his guidebook told him to contact the Australian embassy, which was closed Saturday night. He and Lam were able to ask friends in Hong Kong to contact Canadian and Chinese officials on Sunday morning. Polley planned to finish the rest of his 23-day vacation in Thailand and Laos, though he did not rule out returning to Myanmar in future.“The officials, who included the district chief of tourism in Myanmar, were so kind as to invite us back once cooler heads prevail and the situation improves,” he said.

Reculer pour mieux sauter

L’État de santé de Thibault aura fini par avoir raison de nos aventures en Asie et c’est avec un petit pincement au cœur, mais aussi rassurés de retrouver des infrastructures médicales et un climat plus que corrects, que nous rentrons en France. 

Et puisque l’on aime toujours faire les choses simplement c’est séparément que l’on prendra nos avions : Thibault prendra un vol direct Bangkok-Paris puis Paris-Clermont payé par l’assurance, et je prendrai, pour ma part un vol Bangkok- Dubai, puis Dubai- Lyon pour des raisons de budget. Après une dizaine d’heures d’avion respectives nous posons les pieds sur le territoire français en pleine vague de froid : le choc thermique assuré après 3 mois sous les tropiques. Après s’être assuré de l’état de santé de Thibault, qui malgré une fatigue intense n’est pas alarmant vient le temps des interrogations:

Mais qu’est-ce qu’on va faire sans voiture, sans maison et sans travail? La galère quoi.

Ce petit article c’est surtout l’occasion de remercier la famille de Chloé et tous nos amis qui nous ont logés, nourris, conduits. Autrement dit, d’adresser un grand merci à tous ceux qui ont été présents.

D’abord la famille, que ce soit les grands-parents des deux côtés à Lunel, à Lyon ou aux Ancizes, qui nous ont logés et concoctés de bons petits plats. Bref, qui nous ont bichonnés.

À mes parents qui nous ont trimballés à droite et à gauche et dépannés de voiture quand c’était possible.

Mais surtout à Lorelei qui m’a trouvé un travail, logé pendant deux mois et nous a prêté sa voiture. Sans toi, on aurait bien galéré. Un grand merci.

Jean-Baptiste et Clément qui nous ont conduits dans tous les sens, enfin surtout pour aller boire des coups au petit bonheur.

À Gus qui a donné du travail à Thibault et qui nous a fait profiter de sa belle maison de campagne dans le Sancy.

Et encore à Tristan et Margot qui nous ont logés à Lyon. Tristan, tu es un vrai cordon bleu. On attend encore que tu nous trimballes en voiture mais on a bon espoir que tu passes un jour ce foutu permis (et que tu fasses le Sam pour fêter ça ;) Enfin, merci pour l’accueil !

Lors de ces trois mois en France l’état de Thibault s’est amélioré très lentement et il aura bien mis un mois et demi avant de sortir de cette grande fatigue et de retrouver progressivement la forme. Mais ça aura été l’occasion de bons moments. On en aura profité pour se faire des petites sessions de ski, des bonnes randonnées que ce soit en bord de plage dans les gorges du Gardon dans les mont du Forez ou encore dans notre belle Auvergne. Un petit aligot saucisse dans le Sancy,  faut pas oublier de reprendre les calories qu’on a perdues. Ce retour aura été aussi l’occasion de renouer avec les soirées lyonnaises, à savourer une bonne bière sur les quais au soleil où déguster les succulentes galettes crêpes bretonnes de Morgane.

Rentrés pour mieux repartir, les aventures des petits pédestres reprennent au pays du long nuage blanc : New Zealand nous voilà !
