85,000 Spiritually Hungry People Expected at MegaFest 2015

This year I will be reporting at MegaFest 2015 presented by T.D. Jakes. My primary focus will be reporting on the International Faith and Family Film Festival. My other primary focus will be covering the event, its leaders, and all participants in prayer. If you joined me during SXSW, in prayer, you know it made a supernatural difference and was amazing!


Approximately 85,000 spiritually hungry people will descend upon Dallas, Texas August 19th through the 23rd. Last year the event hosted 75,000 and over 20 states and 31 countries were represented.


Mind boggling when you consider the ripple effect of that many people being fed at one time and then returning back to their respective communities. Imagine, the spiritual warfare that ensues before, during, and after the event. Imagine the increase of victories that can be won if we prayed. The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. Proverbs 15:29

Does anyone else see what I see? Will you join me in prayer for this massive event as the Holy Spirit leads you? A mega event requires a mega prayer covering. Why not support our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ as they host or participate in this event. If you are attending, join me in walking through and praying as the Holy Spirit leads. Feel free to post your prayers and words of encouragement here. As the Holy Spirit leads me I will also post specific points of prayer. Let's see what happens when the Holy Spirit descends upon 85,000 spiritually hungry people destined to be released back into a spiritually hungry globe!

Daughter of Zion’s New Single Addresses Teen Suicide

Suicide still remains a leading cause of death for youth ages 15 to 24

 

 

 

 By: LadyLight

Today Minister Trina ‘Simone’ Bryant  also known as Daughter of Zion officially releases her new single Prodigal Child. It is the first official release from her new project, Livin By My Faith, which is scheduled to debut October 2013.

The release of the single’s music video will premiere on World Suicide Prevention Day September 10, 2013. The release of the single and video are strategically designed to coincide with National Suicide Prevention Month which is in September.    

 “Suicide can affect anyone. It does not matter your age, race, gender or religion. Sometimes we think that suicide is only happening to those who we label as hard to deal with or un-churched, but it isn’t. It can affect anyone! So we are gearing up to bring more awareness to our communities about this issue and to let those, who are dealing with suicidal tendencies, know that there is hope.” said Daughter of Zion.

The song and music video focus on teen scenarios, such as bullying, that can lead to a sense of depression, hopelessness, and loneliness. Suicide remains one of the top 3 leading causes of death for young people between the ages of 15 to 24.  Statistics also show that 1 person completes suicide every 14 minutes leaving approximately 5 million Americans directly affected by a suicide.

Throughout the month Daughter of Zion will use her single’s release as a way to  exhort, equip, and empower the body of Christ in addressing a topic that often carries a stigma and is rarely talked about openly. This year’s World Suicide Prevention theme is: Stigma A Major Barrier to Suicide Prevention.

Daughter of Zion’s Facebook page will not only include her new single and music video, but it will also become a platform of resources concerning suicide prevention. “Often times the signs for suicide can go unnoticed in our society. We are providing professional resources that will help identify the warning signs and tips on how to help a person who may be contemplating suicide.” said Daughter of Zion.

On the page fans and supporters can find the suicide hotline number, support for families who have lost someone to suicide, information about the warning signs, encouragement, and helpful links. The resource page will also debut on Tuesday September 10, 2013 World Suicide Prevention Day and will be located at: www.facebook.com/livingbymyfaith.

Lady Light's "on-the-scene-DFW-connection"

Sunday, April 6, Ladylight Spotlight's "on-the-scene-connection" in Dallas attended  a panel discussion, IMPACTING YOUTH, presented by Art House Dallas and FilmMatters, in partnership with the Dallas International Film Festival.

The panel discussed how Filmmakers can responsibly and effectively message and communicate to youth using the power of film and media with a special emphasis on peer created content.

The moderator was Keith Maitland, director and producer of Emmy nominated THE EYES OF ME. Panelists were: Sharon Amezcua, involved with creating Juntobox Films, a collaborative film studio that unites social development with traditional film production; Leslie Ferrell, president of Big Idea Entertainment, a children's media company that produces "Veggie Tales," and Trevor Hall, president, Creative Visions Foundation.

Amezcua is very excited to have a platform that creates a community for youth to develop industry and social tools and knowledge to collaborate artistically with experienced industry mentors. 

Ferrell's company focuses on content that assists parenting needs coupled with a message about faith. The content provided creates nuggets  for children to walk away with which helps build character and knowledge . She also said that market research has shown that children as young as two years old can learn to demonstrate behaviors of gratitude. 

That's good news for parents struggling with the terrible twos and threes. They really get it, even if they don't act like it. 

Hall was very optimistic about our Millenium generation. He said they get a bad reputation about being addicted to technology, having a short attention span but he believes that this generation's the most generous and compassionate about world and social concerns. 

I was really impressed with Hall's answer to Maitland's question about which movie impacted their lives  to motivate them to be come a filmmaker. Hall said, Boys in the Hood. ( I was like--Whaaat?!) 

Hall grew up in south side Chicago. He lived in a neighborhood that was only a block or one street divided between him and the Cabrini Green housing projects ( For those that don't know - that was the housing project they show in Good Times ,ya'll). 

He was told growing up to never, ever cross that "imaginary barrier" because "they're not like us." After watching Boys in the Hood, he said that it closed the divide of the us vs. them, for him.

And proof of that impact today is Hall's Creative Visions Foundation. It uses media and the arts to create meaningful change in the world. CVF has provided fiscal sponsorship, mentorship, inspiration, fundraising, connectivity and more.

This panel discussion confirmed my belief  that under resourced and affluent children can watch or create quality TV, shorts, full-featured films and documentaries that can help us facilitate dialogue with our youth to engage in or to expand on meaningful art and education to create and act on community and global change.

THE SXSW RECAP RAPPER STRIKES AGAIN!!!

 

 

 

 

BY: LADYLIGHT

This year’s SXSW Interactive kicked off again with one its most innovative players, SaulPaul. For the last 4 years SaulPaul has provided conference attendees with memorable reviews of keynote speakers through rap and freestyle rap at that!

The process is as unique and creative as the rapper himself.  First he listens to the presentation.  Then it’s off to an unsuspecting spot,  where he produces a beat, sets up the mic, freestyles the review, and finalizes the production. Once completed, it’s uploaded to the internet for the entire world to hear.

Over the years, SaulPaul has partnered with various corporate sponsors, including local sponsor Affordable Sounds. Last year’s partner, Prezi, added an additional element that provided visuals to each recap creating an experience for the viewer that was entirely new and unprecedented.

The rapper and his company, ReRoute, have always embodied the concept of innovative interaction.  In 2010 he released Tower to Tower: Special Edition, as both a documentary and a soundtrack. He toured Tower to Tower in over 30 cities. He became known as an artist with a message who could create a “live freestyle” concert experience through creating new songs on the spot with audience members.

SaulPaul continues to interact with listeners even beyond the SXSW Interactive Conference with his new Dream in 3-D tour, based on his current book Dream in 3-D, which is a book of inspiration for anyone who dares to dream.
