Momentum

“Commitment is the igniter of momentum.”

-Peggy Wood, singer/actor

It has been the commitment of our missionaries and staff of IMM that has truly ignited the sense of momentum we are experiencing at right now. The commitment to Christ, His message, and His mission is fueling the passion to produce media and train people that will impact this generation across the world.

The past month has produced some exciting times.
·     The completion of a short video called “The Class of the Called”. Missionary Michael Helin has done an exceptional job in producing this first ever High Definition video project for The Engage Project. This was done in cooperation with missionary Steve Shoop and serves as a recruitment piece to challenge the thousands of young people who have sensed a call of God in their lives for missions and yet are not exactly sure how to act on that call. We are thrilled to be part of the mobilization of students for the cause of Christ.
·     I have been involved in two conferences for the purpose of networking

with other media ministries and industry leaders. God is connecting us to some extraordinary people who share our passion for people and interest in media to share a message of hope.
·     Our container with our household goods arrived from the US on September 20th. We now have been unpacking boxes and setting up house. I’m not sure why but there is a good feeling being surrounded by pictures and small possessions that you’ve had for sometime.
·     As a team we had the privilege of hosting at our ministry center 18 missions leaders for Europe. The two days of strategy talks will be walked out over the course of the next 5 years and IMM got to play a small part in it.

The opportunities to influence people to consider Christ through media are greater than any other time. IMM senses the momentum of these opportunities and is dedicated to this end. Thank you for your faithful partnering with us.

  • We need wisdom to guide a key project directed to an immigran audience.
  • We really need a bookkeeper to come and help us for the next year or two while our current one is home in the US for itineration.
  • We would like prayer for the completion of our project “Open the Bible: The Gospels”
  • We want to connect with new friends and neighbors here in Spain.

Stuff that makes you feel good

By Jerry | Published: October 7, 2009

Recently our container arrived from the US. After spending months here in Spain, living with borrowed blankets, silverware among other things and maintaining a life just one level up from camping, it has felt a little like Christmas around here. Because we have been in transition for over a year now, some of this stuff had been in storage that long. I mean, I’m reconnecting with pictures, mementos, and books which genuinely make me feel “at home”.

Now I know, “this world is not my home” and “stuff will never make you happy” but I have to say these items from my  past inform me of my identity, my history, my life really has an anchor. The most interesting item, was finding my journals. Now that is real Jerry Gibson history.

Thanks for sharing the journey with us. We are glad to be living out His mission in our lives.

Telling stories

By Jerry | Published: August 30, 2009

It takes a lot of work to do things right, wouldn’t you say? We have just returned and found the IMM studio with about a ton of dirt on the floor! We like to make things as realistic as possible when we are telling the most important stories of all time.

doing my part to tell the story

Within a week of our return to IMM after a very busy summer, we have found ourselves working 12-14 hour days along side some very talented people. We are in the middle of a two-week shoot to capture the story of Ruth and Naomi in visual form. This project, “Women of the Bible” is a series of stories of women of courage and faith and how they have impacted generations with their strength and perseverance. Image the impact on women, who from cultures where they are degraded and marginalized, can see stories of women who overcame because of their Faith in God!

You are making an investment in some of the most far-reaching ministry I have ever been a part of! Thank you for your prayers.

Here’s how you can pray right now:

  • A divine creativity for our Director of this short film series, Denise Godwin
  • Wisdom and insight for our technicians and camera people
  • Creativity and anointing on our actors
  • Strength for all of us in these very busy times.
  • Finances for this project to continue to move forward

Thank you for sending us out and standing with us to “Tell the Story” that changes lives.
