If your dreams are postponed in favor of the dreams of the few at the top, you may have been too busy working for them to realize who you really are.

We are calling everyone to examine their souls and see themselves as God sees us: ". . . God's workmanship . . . created for good works." ( Ephesians 2:10) ". . . fellow workers with God . . ." ( I Corinth. 3:9 ). Horizon Gate is here to provide tools for you to be that.

We need to pause from the pressures of pleasing the world system long enough to see we have freedom to be all God made us to be and to set goals to accomplish our destinies beyond wages, jobs, bills, homeownership, cars, toys, and entertainment.

Christ proved and demonstrated with his life, death and resurrection that we are made, not to be under the thumbs of “a few at the top”, or even the threat of death, but to reach our highest potential.

What is your mission? Is anything keeping you from fulfilling the highest potential to which God calls you? Just pausing to think about these questions, deepens our dialogue with our Maker. It inspires us to step out, do and make things that liberate both us and those around us. Then the fun work starts to push away the drudgery of satisfying the world's demands.

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.”

2. the Film Gallery Café - exhibiting our films in a place combining aspects of a gallery, a café and a theater,

3. the Community working together to implement financial health which generates the resources for these endeavors, particularly through

1. debt elimination

2. increased cash flow

3. restoring equity

4. developing assets

5. new streams of income, including residual income

6. home based businesses

7. the sales and non-profit capabilities of Horizon Gate Productions (DVD's, services, events, donations, grants)

Our Vision Calls to Your Vision

As we have imparted the vision which God has inspired in our hearts, people have told us about theirs. One person described her dream of opening a retreat center where children and teens can get away and experience God's presence giving them hope and direction. Her vision corresponds to ours of the Production Gathering where artists help each others personal and professional development while producing a film together.

Another person told us about his vision for opening a theater specializing in stage plays for the Hispanic community. This corresponds to our vision for the Film Gallery Café where films, art and performance stimulate conversation which draw people to God.

As we described our vision of the Production Gathering and the Film Gallery Café to a pastor, he said he and his staff have been talking about similar ventures for three years.

We are learning that telling forth the life which God is pouring into us inspires in others faith for the great life God promises them too. It confirms visions that others may have set aside or begun to think were impossible. Our inspirations feed and support the hopes and dreams of others. In this way God brings His people together, as if He were amassing the seed and the sowers for new crops and a great harvest.

Turner Personal News

The power of life is unstoppable. How dead everything seemed in the severe cold, wind and snow. But sprouts pushed out of the ground anyway and now there are masses of yellow daffodils nodding in the breeze. Purple irises are unwrapping. Small blossoms sprinkle the ground. Lilacs are budding all over the property and Mark just sniffed the first lilac blossom. High up the oaks are showing red tips which will become the millions of leaves we will again labor to dump off down the bank this fall. It is all happening so quickly!

Within a month (hopefully) it will be warm enough to move our work areas back down to the offices. We consolidated up to the house for the winter to conserve on heating. You are probably conserving in your own ways too. That's the nature of these days. Please pray that we get a good loan modification on the property as a way to avoid foreclosure. Our home based business helping people eliminate debt and mortgages is such a timely work that we are optimistic of sufficient income by the fall. Then we will be catching up on all the needs and payments we are having to put off until then.
