Happy Holidays- 12/05 I hope you had a wonderful year serving our Lord. Lots happening on this end. At the beginning of the year I made the switch in ministry affiliation from Chosen People to Artists in Christian Testimony. It seems like a better fit, but I am now on my own for materials, personalized websites and mailings. (see needs for more on this)
2005 SUMMARY
As I reflect back, I can see how powerfully God has been moving in my life as well as the lives of the other believers working and ministering here in Hollywood. After years of seeing barrenness, the fallow ground of the arts and entertainment industry is finally breaking up. Movie studios now have Departments devoted to making faith-based movies, and possibly more importantly, the shows and films that are some of the darkest places are now being dotted with Christians in the writing the offices, on the set and in front of the camera as more and more believers are flooding to Hollywood to serve the Lord in this important mission field. You may not know this (I didn?t when I arrived) but 60% of Hollywood is Jewish - one more reason I feel divinely placed here for a purpose.
This past year, I have been privileged to share the Lord with dozens of people in the Hollywood entertainment community, secured jobs, agents and key connections for several fellow saints in entertainment, and have been discipling 2 girls who I was blessed to lead to the Lord.
Some of the other activities I have done this past year include:

A MONTH OF MEDIA AND RABBI?S??
Some of the specific encounters I have had recently have been exciting. This past month I had the honor of sharing the Lord with 2 different Rabbis (one 'orthodox' and one ?reform?) who were guest speakers at different Media events. One of the events was an annual media event. I was helping out with where close to 800 media professionals were in attendance and followed the lead of Christians as they prayed for projects, individuals and studios in Hollywood. Some of the guests included Debby Boone, Kirk Franklin , several Studio execs, celebs, etc. Rabbi 'A' f(who was involved in the dialogue about the Passion movie controversy) came to say the blessing over our food. Pray for my witness with Rabbi 'A'.
At an annual Film Festival, the movie 'Life is Beautiful' was screened and the panel discussion that followed included a Nun and a Rabbi. At the closing reception I shared extensively about the Lord with Rabbi 'B' - who is both a Rabbi & talent agent.
Details on both of these stories can be found under Rabbi Stories section of this website.
