Let me share a testimony...

"Change the media for Me!"

God spoke these very words to me. I was on my way home from work yesterday when God gave me a vision. I saw billboards falling down along skyway and I mean literally being destroyed! Hahaha! Quite freaky, huh? At that time, I was thinking of how I should start the Portfolio ministry.

Let me just give you a short background of what this ministry is. Portfolio used to be the marketing/media ministry of our youth in Lighthouse Christian Community. We did most of the publications, announcements, videos and other media and marketing stuff needed for our Friday youth service, Hotrock. The ministry was then dissolved a year and a half after it was established because many of us were called to different paths.

I've always had the burden to continue this ministry because this is where my heart is. I never knew that this would be my passion until the Lord told me to shift my course in college from Computer Network Engineering to Multimedia Arts. I had a hard time deciding on whether I should shift to another course because I was already on my 3rd year in college. I didn't want to risk it 'cause I knew i'd stay longer in college, and I had to pay much more if I did. Eventually, I decided to obey the Lord. I knew in my heart that it's where He really wants me to lead because I wasn't happy with my first course, my heart wasn't there. And so I obeyed. I'm truly amazed on how God moved in my life after that. He allowed me to go through tough situations after obeying Him. The consequences began to pour out.. my mom wasn't very happy with my decision because she also considered the money and the time, which is also important. She felt like I wasted 2 1/2 years in college. I went through a lot during those times, but learned so much for the most of it. Now, she's very happy with my course : ) And she's one proud momma!

I really believe that God is up to something.. I want to be used more for His glory. With everything that happened, it's becoming very clear. He's revealing Himself. His zeal for holiness is what I'm after. He wants to remove the violence and the filth of today's media!

I strongly believe that everything is a part of His plan. I now know why He wanted me to shift to another course : ) I'm just so amazed.. everything is beautiful in His time.

When He spoke to me those words yesterday, I know it wasn't a request but sounded more like an order. I want to RESPOND to Him. Please do pray for me as I take action on this. My heart is pounding with so much urgency! Portfolio will be on a different level. I'm excited to raise up this ministry! There's so much work to be done!

I want to be a part of those people who will change the media for Jesus!

Chuck, I love what you're doing in inspiring those with raw talent to produce quality materials. I agree with you that it is a very powerful medium. It must be tapped and maximized for God's glory. Our God is a vreative God. So, that mst flow in the DNA of those that His.
