-
We started in our garage,
-
but we’ve kind of progressed to a studio
-
that over the last eight years
we’ve built up,
-
and it’s servicing us
very well at the moment!
-
Kimberly and Robert were called by God
-
to do media ministry
for children in Australia.
-
At the time,
-
Kimberly started writing songs,
-
and Robert was working at
Sanitarium Health Food Company.
-
One day as Robert was working,
God revealed a plan!
-
God spoke to me in the oven and said,
-
“Look, I’ve got this
ministry for you guys.
-
I want you to not just do songs,
but media.”
-
He also said that this house,
-
the house that I actually grew up in
but wasn’t living in at the time,
-
was going to be
the headquarters in the future.
-
I came home and told Kimberly,
-
and she said, “I’m not
living in that house.
-
But they felt impressed
to follow God's will.
-
They moved in, built a studio,
-
and now, after many challenges,
-
run a fully operational
children’s media ministry.
-
The King’s Kids program began
at the beginning of the pandemic,
-
As churches closed their doors,
-
there was a need for more
children’s programming.
-
Within a week of their
first brainstorming meeting,
-
a small team recorded
the first episode of King’s Kids!
-
They have continued to put out
an episode every week since,
-
focused on discipleship and based
on the Primary Sabbath School lesson.
-
They’ve produced more than 100 episodes!
-
If you came to our house,
-
you would see it’s been
converted into a studio.
-
We have a control room,
-
a studio, which is where we are
at the moment,
-
we have hundreds of puppets,
-
and lots of characters,
lots of children,
-
and a lot of people that are helping
to support and be a part of this project.
-
Getting right to the heart of families,
-
and how we can connect them
-
and develop their relationship
with Christ.
-
Kimberly and Rob
show that in everything they do,
-
in the way they treat us
as their staff,
-
in the way they support us,
-
and in the way we challenge each other
-
to move forward with the projects
that we’re working on.
-
The feedback has been
overwhelmingly positive,
-
and now God has put
a new project on their hearts.
-
The King’s Kids program
that we’re currently producing
-
is a real discipleship one,
-
which is trying to make
a difference to children
-
that already know something about God.
-
But there’s a project
that we’re working on
-
and developing at the
moment called, “The Rescue”
-
which is going to be
a real evangelistic project
-
for children and families
that don’t know about God,
-
that haven’t been brought up in church,
-
that don’t know about Jesus,
-
and the only time they’ve heard
about God is in slang language.
-
They’re the ones
that we really want to reach.
-
What we’ll be doing is
taking the story of salvation
-
and looking at God as the rescuer,
-
somebody who sees us,
who loves us,
-
and has a plan for us,
-
and how throughout time,
-
He has laid out this plan
to come and rescue His people.
-
This project is something
-
that will be available free
on multiple platforms.
-
We’re really hoping to reach out
-
and connect with families
across the world.
-
This quarter,
-
a portion of your 13th Sabbath Offering
-
will help support the creation
of The Rescue,
-
a three season series
that travels through time
-
and focuses on different aspects
of The Great Controversy,
-
and how God has intervened
to rescue His people.
-
There’s so much behind-the-scenes work
-
that is put into a project like this.
-
It’s been a huge step of faith
all the way through.
-
Sometimes we’re not quite sure
-
where the next bit of
funding is going to come from,
-
where the next bit of equipment
is going to come from.
-
The extra puppets, the sets,
the design, cameras, lighting.
-
There’s so much involved.
-
That’s what we need to continue
to produce high-quality kids’ content.
-
Without the help of people like yourself,
-
that wouldn’t happen
as well as it does.
-
We need everybody to jump in behind us
-
and to support us with your funds,
with your offerings.
-
Thank you for planning a generous
13th Sabbath Offering this quarter
-
that will help share the love of Jesus
-
with kids across the South Pacific
and around the world!
