Great Festival Opportunities

Bill and Jamee Kennedy have built the Attic Film Fest (www.atticfilmfest.org) into a fixture in Austin, Texas. Lori and Rodney Marett have seen God bless the growth of the Gideon Media Arts Film Festival (www.gideonfilmfestival.com). I had the pleasure of meeting the visionary leaders behind each of these festivals recently. If you're looking for a place to submit your film, check them out.

Mobile Training Course - Wow!

The first-ever "Mobile Ministry Training Course" was a huge success. We hoped for 8 participants and 32 took the four-week course. Most were from Africa and Papua New Guinea. Great job John Edmiston for this extraordinary work. The next course begins January 10.

The Call of the Martyr

We are called to be witnesses as followers of Jesus. The Greek word for witness is martyr. It is our honor to reflect and reveal the light of Christ to all those we encounter. Visual story can help us become better martyrs / witnesses by becoming a student of story, telling our story, creating stories, and more. Read more at www.visualstory.org/mywitness.
