Dear Subscribers & Followers, I want to update you on how things are going and ask for your help. I am earnestly in the process of working on the next film in the Prayer Series, namely the relationship between the "New Heart/Clean Heart" prayer and 'Doing God's Will' ("Thy Will be done"). It is very exciting for me, and a beautiful Prayer that also seems to invite us into a more intimate relationship with God. It should be recorded and uploaded soon.
At the same time as working on this, I had been moved to make the Prayer Series accessible to a wider audience by getting the films 'dubbed' into Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. About 370 Million people worldwide speak English as a first language, whereas almost DOUBLE that, 710 Million people worldwide, speak Spanish & Portuguese as a first language! This means I could raise the accessibility of the Prayer Series from 370M to over a Billion by getting the series dubbed into those languages. I was also fortunate enough to be given some insight by the makers of The Chosen (the multi-season series on the life of Jesus and His Apostles - watch.angelstudios.com/thechosen which is FREE and becoming a worldwide sensation.)
They kindly shared with me that the 'hunger' for their content among those languages was the highest (I'm Paraphrasing). My research also confirmed this conclusion, especially showing a 'hunger' in Brazilian Portuguese for this kind of content right now.
The first film is already done and ready to go 'live' in both Spanish and Portuguese with all translations, dubbing, voiceover, subtitles and descriptions done in each language. It's a fairly long process for a one-man-band (me) so takes a few weeks. It has also cost me into 4 figures so far. More than I thought. But it is a glorious project and idea.
I fund all this myself and the second film is being prepared into Spanish & Portuguese right now, but I am wondering if anyone in my feed (or elsewhere) would be able to help me pay for all this. I cannot afford this all on my own right now, but I really am committed to doing it. Barista and Barwork do not pay well, (my usual roles when I'm not receiving revenue from YouTube, which isn't enough to cover the translations). I receive the minimum revenue from YouTube as I deliberately keep adverts turned OFF on most films, or to the barest minimum on the whole channel.
I am not funded or supported by anyone else or any organisation, except a few amazing subscribers who send me help from time to time and three subscribers on Patreon that currently amounts to $70 a month.
If you feel moved to help and like the idea of the Prayer Series in Spanish & Portuguese, or just appreciate my ministry and want to help me continue making films, (especially the Prayer Series which has another 5 films in the pipeline right now, with inspiration coming all the time) then please consider ANYTHING you can.
Or UK taxpayers can setup a Monthly support that benefits from UK Charity status and hence Gift Aids your contribution with HMRC Tax Relief for me so I get more than you donate: • www.stewardship.org.uk/partners/20399827
As Christ said in the Gospels (Paraphrasing): the person who gives two pennies is as much valued as the one who gives thousands, if the giving is from the heart and for God's good glory. Anything at all will help me greatly! And it always encourages me more than you might imagine. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+12%3A41-…
PS - I am wondering if I should invite donors to have their names in the credits of some films to acknowledge their support: do you think this is a good idea?
