Gideon Media Arts Conference & Film Festival

Honored authors, distinguished faculty, special guests, and gifted attendees made for a life-changing week. Michelle Knoll, one of our GIDEON attendees was inspired with the following poem, we hope you enjoy it and we look forward to seeing you in 2009.

Create in Me that I Might Create for You

O Lord, create in me that I might then create for You,
A song, a melody, perhaps a children's book or two.
A film, a music video, a precious work of art
Derived from inspiration that You've placed within my heart.

Speak into me the things that You want all the world to hear,
Give me direction so the action will be strong and clear.
Confirm Your pattern, placement, color, form and Your design
For every little detail -- making sure they're Yours, not mine.

That when the finished product is announced unto the world
Amidst the advertising banners craftily unfurled,
I pray it be Your heart that's felt in each and every place
And may the world experience Your mercy and Your grace.

Though I may be well-known or seen, cause all the world to see
That all of my accomplishments have come from You, not me.
My heart's desire, my prayer, is for the world to know Your Son
In every word, in every deed, in everything I've done.

Create in me, O Lord...

Mission Statement

To spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through all types of media with
an emphasis on radio, theater, church drama, music, television and film.

The Gideon was started to give Christians who are interested in the media arts a place to encourage their talents, a venue to meet, learn, network and get advice from experts in the industry, and the opportunity to develop working and personal relationships that extend long after the Gideon is over.

Our faculty are prayerfully considered and wonderfully selected by God. They are comprised of Christian producers, directors, writers, musicians, actors, DJ’s, performers, speakers and teachers and are chosen for the Gideon, not only for their accomplishments and expertise, but for their servant’s heart. We are blessed and humbled that these incredibly talented individuals are designing classes and workshops to stretch your mind and help you discover the path that God has placed in front of you.
