dude...dont kill yourself over money, thats the most ridiculous thing i ever heard of. Jesus Christ did not come to this earth just for you to kill yourself over money. Dont worry about it. Life will continue. If you dont have anything then ok. You heart needs to know what is important, and making a stupid payment is not one of them. I mean, I'm like 3,000 bucks in debt right now. And if i'm kicked out of my school, then i'm kicked out. Jesus Christ is still in control and thats all that matters in life. You need a reality check of whats important. DONT STRESS!

He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist. – St. Francis of Assisi Make no mistake about it… Film, Television, and New Media are THE most powerful mediums that are reaching the hearts and minds of youth today. Prayer after prayer has been offered up for Hollywood to change the message it sends out. And for far too long… the value minded have been on the defensive when it comes to the media. We often are found protesting or boycotting foul language, sexuality, explicit situations or clothing, and violence the entertainment industry glorifies. But we actually have a better message!! Therefore, a different approach has been laid on my heart: Stop complaining about Hollywood… and do something about it! This not so gentle realization has led me to Teen Mania Ministry’s: CENTER FOR CREATIVE MEDIA. The Center for Creative Media (CCM) is going to help me break into “the business” for Christ. CCM is a two year, hands-on production program that is preparing me to work on a ‘real-world’ film/TV production staff. When I finish this two-year program I will have gained broadcast experience and have credits that I can put on my resume/reel. I’m being trained in producing, directing, writing, editing, photography and graphic design. I’m being taught by producers, writers and directors with decades of experience in the entertainment industry. During the CCM program I will travel to Hollywood twice a year for encounters with industry professionals who work for Warner Brothers, NBC VH1 and many other studios and post-production houses. Whatever I accomplish in film/TV, it will be for the glory of God. My calling may not come easy. Life in the entertainment industry can include situations where I may be asked to compromise my values or faith. What will I do when that moment comes? What will I do when I may be the only Christian on the staff? The CCM is preparing, training, and strengthening me for just those situations. Today I’m asking you to be apart of my goal to change Hollywood. You ongoing prayer support can really be a vital part of God’s plan for me and the film/TV business. Or, perhaps, you might consider an even deeper involvement… maybe through a commitment to a prayer and fasting period specifically for Hollywood and for those making the decisions about what “the masses” will see. Or, even to be financially involved. The cost for me to attend CCM is $1,200 per month. This includes food, housing, utilities, equipment and travel expenses. I would appreciate whatever financial support you can help with over and above your tithes and offerings to your home church. Putting it very simply: No amount is too small or unappreciated. Checks should be made out to: Teen Mania Ministries. Your support is tax-deductible. If you would like to contact me (or send support) please reach me at Vanessa Marquez or e-mail Vanessa Marquez: or donate online www.honoracademy.com/donate.ph p P.O Box 2010 CPO 411 Vanessa.marquez@teenmania.com ID# 2285382 Lindale, TX 75771 May God bless you richly as you pray for and consider joining me in this battle. Sincerely yours, Vanessa Marquez Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must believe yourself. – Winston Churchill Be the Salt and the Light! Matthew 5:13-14 You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. PS. If you donate, do know that it's tax deductible.
