April 21, 2007 - Changes in Hollywood


HI

Thank you for visiting the website.
Check back about once every month or two for updates on events, prayer requests and other info on how God continues to move in Hollywood. For those of you who are interested in how I came to faith, check out the article highlighting my recent interview for Outreach Magazine which includes some of my testimony. (Scroll down in article)

THEN & NOW
"Behold, I make all things New" (Rev. 21:5)
As a transplant form New York City and San Francisco, I have been in L.A. almost 15 years. When I first arrived, heeding God's call to go to Hollywood and work within the entertainment industry.   I was surprised to see so little going on with believers in the entertainment community. Many of those calling themselves Christians were so eager to 'break-in' or 'blend-in' to the industry, that they had no qualms about hiding their light under a bushel, so to speak.

Additionally, the minority of Christians that did have a combination of spiritual depth, gifting and calling seem to be hitting walls on every front.

For reasons we can only speculate, in the last few years there has been a shift in the landscape of the entertainment community. As more followers of Jesus flooded into this area to influence the media that impacts the world, God began to reveal more of His heart for those in Hollywood.

For now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, just as he planned" (I Cor. 12:18)
Christians have begun to embrace a variety of callings as a new tapestry is being woven forming a picture of God's plan for this segment of our culture and society.

There are a number of distinctives in how Christians are being used and finding their role in entertainment. Some of these include:
Working to see film an TV made that holds a Biblical world view..... working in and around projects that provide opportunities to openly share their faith and see those in the Hollywood community come to Him... making films that are explicitly Christian in content for the edification of the body or the evangelization of the lost...... dropping nuggets of Gospel truth into scripts and projects that are otherwise despairing and bleak in their message.

ORCHESTRATED ENGAGEMENT
I find my role shifts in relationship to each project and it requires an ability to stay in communication with hearing from the Lord. As we move forward on many fronts of media and ministry, I am excited about what the future can hold. As we partner with each other and with God my hope is that we can plan a long term strategy through the media to influence the next generation for His kingdom.

Working in Hollywood, we are situated in a strategic arena to impact the world. Pray that those of us laboring out here can walk in a way worthy of His calling.

SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
I continue to do seminars as well as ministry presentations of the work here in Hollywood.
See Calendar 2007 for full schedule. I am also currently setting up additional times to
speak to churches and groups. If you are interested in setting up a speaking
engagement (by myself or with someone else) for your group or church, please contact us.
