People Make Vision Materialize

How do great endeavors come about? Every large corporation, institution, organization and ministry began with an inspiration in the heart of a person, but at some point the idea caught the attention of someone else. A conversation began. Reading this opens the opportunity for you to observe or even be a part of a conversation like that.

Great endeavors begin to be seen when they become a conversation. People talk about the idea and interest grows as possibilities come to light. A group of people forms around the idea, each excited about their own view of it and how they could play a part in the larger possibility. Each thinks, “This could be the answer for reaching my potential,” or “This group could be the beginning of the community I am looking for,” or many other reasons why they want to be a part of this thing being born.

And in the conversation each participant adds a unique adjustment or new aspect to the idea so that what once was limited to one person's imagination now has the generative powers of many imaginations seeking to support the greater, multifaceted endeavor.

Each of us has tremendous potential, but we each need comrades to do other things so we can climb up and reach that potential. We all need to work with others to fulfill a vision larger than ourselves. We must be willing to cooperate, compromise and serve one another, in order to do things none of us could do single-handedly.

This is why the Turners, through the Horizon Gate organization, continue to re-describe and present their vision. We hope to find people who will join minds, hearts and hands to accomplish wonderful things.

It takes a community of comrades to make films which move people spiritually. It takes many kinds of talent to operate a vibrant, new kind of exhibition venue where such films and art can move people toward God.

Call us, 760-765-3884, or send an e-mail, markanddonna@horizongate.org , and tell us you want to be part of the conversation which is re-imagining the Horizon Gate vision.
