New Green Room!

Praise the Lord for the funds coming in to set up our new Green-Screen studio! We know this will be a great addition to our Burbank office. God is good, all the time!

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say 'The Lord is my portion, I will wait for him.' Lamentations 3:22-24

The Lord has indeed blessed us richly, we are so thankful. Years ago, Phil Cooke had a vision of what the office space of his soon-to-be company would look like. However, he never could have imagined the Lord would do such great and mighty things. The Bible tells us that no eye has seen, nor ear has heard, what God has prepared for those who love him. We would love to share some pictures of our office with you all.

Judges 6:13-16

"But Sir," Gideon replied, "if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, 'Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?' But now the Lord has abandoned us and put us into the hand of Midian."
The Lord turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?"
"But Lord," Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family."
The Lord answered, "I will be with you."


Amazing that in our weaknesses, the Lord prevails. He doesn't send the equipped, He equips those whom He sends. Go in the strength that you have.
