Today was Presentation Day—the culmination of efforts for this venture. Late into the night on Friday, the hallways were buzzing as consultants wrapped up their scorecards, wrote their client abstracts, and finished up final deliverables. All the efforts were certainly rewarded with an amazing series of client presentations. A few highlights:

For me, it was such a reward to see my clients present a radically new purpose for their business. When we first began the venture, they were a small partnership team working in video production for corporate clients. But now their vision has expanded to include producing documentary films about the problems that Africa is facing—HIV/AIDS, poverty, addiction, etc. More exciting yet, they are hoping to bridge these together by using video to educate and motivate corporations to take responsibility for their nation’s problems. Their presentation was wacky, entertaining, and energetic, which is also a good description of the two of them! (see Andy and friends at work in video below) This case in point also highlights some of the greater work God is doing in the media industry as a whole. All three media companies represented in this venture stood in unity and received prayer, committing themselves to work together to transform their industry. I am looking forward to seeing what God will do in the coming years!

The other presentations were filled with many personal accounts of God’s miraculous healing, provision of land and finances, and personal deliverance. Several men were in tears as they presented, from beginning to end!

We finished off the day with a long discussion and time of affirmation for one another. I personally have been touched by the vulnerability of the clients, the dedication of the consultants, and the fellowship between the American and South African teams.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support throughout this venture!
