The Arts

I just had a meeting today that still has my adrenaline pumping. I've always been passionate about Christians making movies that compete for the culture. I put my faith in Christ after watching a movie called The Hiding Place. I think we need to view Hollywood as a mission field. And we need to encourage Christians to go into culture shaping professions.

So I met with Barbara Nicolosi, Executive Director of Act One. Check out her blog @ www.churchofthemasses.blogspot.com; Karen Covell, Director of Hollywood Prayer Network; and Michelle Suh, the Director of Hollywood Connect.

I walked away flat out fired up about what they are doing. I'd like for Ebenezers to be a place in DC where films premiere. We talked about a Hollywood missions trip. And I really want NCC to be a place that encourages aspiring artists and actors. I think our meeting was the beginning of a real connection between DC and LA.

I'd encourage you to follow the links and learn more about what they're doing! Very cool. Very encouraging!

I'm a huge fan of Nicolosi and Act One. Steve Hoffmann, who leads the NCC Writers small group, took their screenwriting class when they held it here in town. Cool stuff!
