All Kinds of Work Makes "Ministry"

Our vision is to create special works of cinematic art which cause the viewers to have significant conversations and come to God. We want to show these works in a comfortable gallery with a café-like atmosphere. (See rough illustration)

This is a beautiful vision AND a lot of work to create. The labor and the business of it are ways to fellowship with God in creation.

We call artists and arts supporters to join in forming the community around this vision. We have methods of becoming financially healthy so that we all will have the funds to create the films and open the gallery-café.

So, we employ business, sales and marketing as tools in creation, with the confidence that God delights in and prospers our work. New streams of income and liberation from debt lifts us out of financial slavery into new freedom to do special works for God.

This is why Horizon Gate has been addressing financial health as a critical component of ministry. We implement Financial health by accelerating 1.) debt elimination, 2.) cash flow, 3.) equity growth, 4.) asset development, 5.) residual income, and 6.) home based businesses.

We declare that God wants us to have abundance beyond our necessities, to overflow for others needs and to do great projects. What a privilege to work with God toward such lofty goals.

Artists and arts supporters, come on and join us for your own financial health and the joy of accomplishing great visions.

What New Money Attitudes?

For a century or more the “closed eyes” attitude has dominated funding for mission. “Don't look at money. Don't talk about money. We will do great, expensive mission projects and the money will come. Don't ask me how. It will just be there.”

In God's grace we and millions of Christian ministers have experienced God's provision in spite of our debatable attitudes. And God can continue to provide in unexplainable ways, especially when the challenge is beyond our abilities.

But today's economic conditions are shaking out some “dead wood” in our faith; for instance, the tendency to just let God create the resources for missions and forget our involvement in the creation.

God commissioned us from the beginning to make more out of the world which He gave us. In the New Testament Christ “re-commissioned” us to go into all the world and build the family of God. The Apostle Paul calls us “God's fellow workers” (I Corinth. 3:9).

God is re-awakening us to the joys of participating in His provision. It is about so much more than money. It is about breaking the bonds of debt and poverty which oppresses the majority of people. It is about demonstrating to the world that we do not serve the financial systems of this world, but make money serve people and the purposes of God. It is part of our fellowship with God to create resources for great accomplishments “on earth as it is in heaven.”
