Sorry to have taken sometime to reply, Dr. Steffen. (I keep forgetting to but I want to engage with your comment.) I think that something as important as this should not be in the footnote. People RARELY read footnotes, especially if they don’t have that much time- and that is definitely true of many engaged in practical ministry.

Rather, gather some friends and listen (don’t follow the written text) to the story. Why hear it? Because “silent reading encourages psychological distance and a high degree of dispassionate objectivity.”501 Then watch the story presented and debriefed by Ray at Cross Bridge Church in Rockledge, Florida.502”

Footnote 502. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1weH8zLAklk. Also available are presentations from the Philippines (https://youtu.be/Wbfy5pWwJUE) and Africa (https://youtu.be/pkLtfXDPX2M).
