On Sunday, May 30th, we graduated the pioneering class of Morningside Media Master’s Commission (MMMC)! As part of their training here at Morningside, the MMMC Class of 2010 was responsible for ministering to over 20,000 high-school students inside their high schools and over 1,000 said the sinner’s prayer to be born again just in Michigan alone! This is what our MMMC school has done: they produced, directed and hosted over 90 hours of their own broadcasts in their very own program titled “Safelock” which is soon to be syndicated around the world! That’s quite an accomplishment for a first-year class!

I am as proud as if I gave birth to each one of those children! Parents, family and friends were glowing with pride and admiration! It has been an amazing year and God has given us amazing grace! Lloyd Ziegler, the founder of Master’s Commission and Lori’s mentor, delivered a stirring message via video to share his congratulations and to exhort the class. He told the students that this graduation will be a launch to go out and be world changers for the Kingdom of God.

We had a very special rose ceremony for Dee and Jerry Crawford, victorious warriors who have given all to the vision of Morningside and to Master’s Commission. Without a builder, you have no building, and without a vision, people perish. And Dee and Jerry Crawford have stood with me in this vision throughout this year, and that’s why we honor them!

Lori shared that this Media Master’s Commission is a brand new baby because the focus is almost entirely on media! Though Master’s Commission is not new, there has never been a Media Master’s Commission before – we pioneered the program here at Morningside with the help of our partners and friends. It was designed for young men and women who want a career in Christian broadcasting. Their training consists of every aspect of television from camera operation to performing arts to talk shows geared towards the youth of today. Within the very first week, they were running cameras, shading, directing and producing television shows.

When I helped pioneer Christian television 45 years ago, God gave me the vision to leave a legacy and train up the next generation, a generation that will not compromise the Truth and will be passionately preparing a people for the Prince of Peace to return! This will be the generation that will usher in the coming of the Lord! They will guard the Truth of His Coming and be messengers who herald it!

My message to the students was from Esther 4:14. You have come to the kingdom for such a time as this! NOW is your time! Where you’ve been wounded I’m giving you authority to bring healing to other people. He will take your mess and turn it into a message. He will take your pain and turn it into gain. You made it, others have given up. The reward goes to those who finish the race!

We are doing all that we can to declare the soon coming King! We are teaching and training, equipping and exhorting! We are sharing everything the Lord gives us with you to help you be ready for times ahead. Our faith is not in words only, but in action to research and offer you the best of what we find to help you and your loved ones through every circumstance.

Hear the Word of the Lord with us! Get ready NOW with us! Test all that is said and done, and hold tight to the Truth!

God loves you, He really does! And we love you too.
