We Search with Imaginative Faith for Home

A little ways down the hill from the main house, these offices and studios have seen many scripts, recordings and film edits. The surrounding grounds and wild life have given much inspiration to all who have worked with us and attended our events.

In case you have not heard, the Turners and Horizon Gate are moving! A little background on this is found at our blog post Move Makes Mission Lean and Focused

So far we feel like Abraham and Sarah going out not knowing where they were going. We are their spiritual descendants in faith and, despite uncomfortable moments, we too walk not by appearances, but with hope.

We are looking and praying not for just rooms, but for a place which will better support our mission. Some of the key aspects we need are:

• a quiet place to write, compose, record and edit audio-visuals
• a production area for visual arts
• a location with quicker access to people and business than Julian
• property management which supports our mission by flexibility and low lease price
• facilities which accommodate both home and office/production area

We imagine these points could be found in a two, or three bedroom house with space around it and a garage. This requires the right situation with the right people.

Please employ your imagination to help us find the best situation so that we can get on with the exciting plans for Horizon Gate.

We Have Power of Place

Arts Home Base - Main house viewed from office/studio -- Here we can produce our films and art, house collaborating artists, and hold events. Situated in a mountain retreat setting near a historic California gold mining town, we neighbor other facilities which can house larger retreats and temporary production space. Helping us keep this property is a substantial boost to the creation of art and films which draw people to God. Through this place you can be an important factor in art and films which give countless people hope and courage to do great things.

When you apply for a job you expect the establishment to have some structure in which to work. Even if the job is out in the field, or on the road, you have someone someplace to relate to. We usually steer clear of a "business" which can not be found on the map.

So, too, artists usually need to operate out of more than the trunk of their car.

Ten years ago we were helped with a major gift to begin purchasing the place for our arts ministry. You can be part of the beauty and inspiration which now flows from this arts haven in the mountains around Julian, California. From here we have created art for ministries in Africa, Australia, North America and the global Internet. From this home base we assist and teach arts in our city as well as overseas. Having this place has made it possible to create art that carries the light of Christ around the world.

Please visit our "Art Gets Home" page http://indiegogo.com/Art-Gets-Home . Watch the video there to see pictures of the place. Listen to Mark's three-and-a-half minute presentation and peruse the levels of contribution from as low as $20. We are giving away signed art, photography and films as "thank you's" for contributions.
