I met Jesus during my dance education back in 2011. Looking back you could say I wasn't that serious with following Jesus. Or to put it differently: I didn't understand what it meant to follow Jesus. I received a bible but it was eating dust a lot of the time. Around 2019 this changed completely. I began reading my dusty bible from cover to cover and I saw a lot that I didn't understand. And so the journey began.
The central message of Jesus while on earth was the Kingdom of God (Luc.4:43; Acts 1:1-3). John preached this message (Mat.3:2), Jesus preached this message (Mat.4:17) and the disciples that came after Him preached this message (Acts 8:9-13; 28:23-31). And that's why my goal as a storyteller is to focus on the Kingdom of God, to build up those in the faith and to make Jesus known to those who don't know Him.
Besides working with video I am also a student of theology. Creativity in images is a powerful means of conveying a message. But the message of this image is equally important, if not more important. In a way video is but a vehicle for me to bring people to that which is eternal and unseen. It is like the pen in the hands of a writer trying to describe that which is indescribable.
We need to communicate the message of the Kingdom of God adequately in order for it to have its full effect in the lives of people. Understanding the message of the Kingdom of God more than in 2011, I see the impact what it can bring in my own life and that of others. It brings hope, joy and peace but it also brings challenges and battles. It is necessary to count the costs when going after Jesus. It isn't for the feeble of mind and heart. And that's what I hope these video's will help you do, to count the costs and to give a well thought response to the call of Jesus who says: "Follow Me".
