BTS Webisode 05. In this first webisode to feature actual footage from the NOT A FAN series, actors Ryan King, Tom Luce, and William McNulty, provide a glimpse into the hearts, minds, and stories of their characters.

NOT A FAN is an upcoming 6-part DVD series that challenges people to become sincere “followers” of Jesus Christ, rather than simply “enthusiastic admirers” or “fans.”

Economic Opportunities

“Economic Opportunities exists to teach God’s work ethic to high-risk men in order for them to know Christ more intimately, to become contributing members of the workforce, and to gain hope in a future.”

One of the best parts of my job is getting to see and document Christians who live out their faith in effective ways. Jim Kennedy is a Christian who does just that through his work at Economic Opportunities. A few months ago, we traveled down to Memphis and interviewed his staff and those who have been blessed by his mission work. Then, having heard their stories, I wrote dramatic content which we shot and edited with their interviews. I hope you enjoy the final product.

Beer and Bible?

Kevin, Cassie, and I recently drove to The University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana to interview brothers of the Lamda Chi Alpha fraternity. As it turns out, their advisor, Steve Parsons, has been leading them in weekly Bible studies often centered around the H2O series.

As a result, many of these young men had come to know Jesus Christ. We had the privilege of interviewing these men and attending one of their Bible studies at their frat house. It was incredible to see a room full of Christian and non-Christian guys glued to the television as Episode II played, and to see and hear how God has used H2O to break down barriers and give these guys the freedom to discuss and seek after Truth. It was also such a blessing to spend time with these guys and here about their new walk with Jesus and the changes He has brought to their lives.

As a new staff member, it is such an affirmation and encouragement to continually see how God uses this ministry draw people to Himself. I hope the testimonies of these men and their mentor will affirm and encourage all of you who have served with or supported City on a Hill Productions.

Supporting Churches and Ministries

Richie — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:16:55 +0000

I hit the ground running doing a rough edit for the above video for Southern Acres Christian Church. It was quite a challenge because I’ve never had to edit anything that I didn’t shoot or write, and I don’t have a very complicated history with visual effects. Watching the final product I am, once again, amazed at the quality of the work done here, and I am looking forward to working with, and learning more from, the talented staff here at CHP.

I’m now in my fourth week of employment, and I feel that I am starting to settle in, and get a more concrete, cohesive grasp of what life here will look like. As Ministry Support Director, I will be producing films promoting and supporting the important work of Missions and Ministries. I am very excited to see how God will continue to use CHP in partnership with these Missions and Ministries to represent Jesus Christ to the world.

Truth. Equality. Simplicity. Peace.
