Our Mission Field
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

The blog video that you’re about to watch is a great example of all that God has done and all that He’s yet to do in the ministry of City on a Hill Productions. You’ll learn more about who we are and what God is up to.
For all of these exciting adventures, YOU have been along with us for the journey. As God leads you to financially make this work possible, you are as central to our work as the person running the camera, the team building the set, and the actors on the screen.
As you plan your year-end giving, we boldly ask you to remember City on a Hill Productions. We ask for your support with confidence, because we know that we work toward the highest calling of all-bringing people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We ask for your support with excitement, because we know how your gifts will be used.
It’s a fact-people have already come to salvation because of the work your support makes possible. We ask you to close this year by making an eternal investment through City on a Hill Productions.
Like every other ministry, year-end gifts are a critical part of our yearly finances. This year we need to raise $120,000 to meet our year-end goal for 2008 and to make possible a successful ‘09.
Donating online is secure and convenient. If you want to donate to a specific staff member, please designate their name in the comments field of the electronic donation form. Click here to donate.
Please know that we appreciate your support and see your contribution as provision from God’s hand. We honor your giving through our commitment to changing the culture for Christ through media.
May God bless you and your family this Christmas season, and grant you His favor in 2009.
In Christ,

Limitless Opportunities
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Just last weekend, Shane, Kevin and I traveled to Memphis to attend a Missions Banquet sponsored by one of our corporate sponsors – or City Builders, as we like to call them.
To be good stewards of our funds, we chose to make the 800-mile trip by car. Ummm, I think I may have earned another jewel in my crown for that decision! Actually, it was a beautiful drive, and when our conversations grew weary Shane pulled out his iTunes from the back seat and played game-show host to round after round of “Name that Artist.” Would you believe that he has over 5,000 songs on his laptop? Well, I just want everyone to know that I did beat Kevin in a tiebreaker! (He’ll go to his grave saying he was just trying to be a perfect gentleman by letting me win). I guessed “Boy George” for the winning point. Gee, that’s not so spiritual is it? Anyway, back to my story!
At this banquet, we were able to fellowship with over 20 different ministries doing amazing things for the Kingdom. The ministries ranged from a church plant across the street from Yale University to an incredibly successful entrepreneur school in Rwanda to a Prostitution-Rescue Ministry right there in the heart of Memphis.
What does CHP have to do with all of this? Well, personally, I think our Ministry Support Videos branch is what sets us apart from most other Christian film production companies. Shane puts it this way, “There are so many ministries out there doing incredible work, impacting the culture and changing peoples lives, but that doesn’t mean they have the tools they need to get the word out about what they do. This is where we come in. We partner with ministries who we feel are doing really important work and give them our creative and technical abilities and provide them with the resources they need to accomplish their mission and share their own story.”
As Partnerships Director, one of the three branches of my ministry here is to get the word out about the Support Ministry leg of CHP and procure these film projects. In other words, those of you who are supporters of CHP, whether you financially support one or several of the staff members or are a corporate donor to the ministry, you are not just supporting one ministry doing one thing. With the Support Ministry branch of CHP, the opportunity to help other ministries and their great work is limitless.
We currently have three of these videos in production – two are scheduled for filming this month, many are already in the early stages of development. Our new Ministry Support Director from Houston, Richard Ramsey arrives in two weeks. I don’t think he’s scheduled to “come up for air” anytime until after December. But don’t tell Production Manager, Cassie that…she’ll start booking him for more! Amen, so be it!
