_________________________________   KONICHIWA! It's me, Matt Long.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I am the founder and director (along with God of course) of Burning Bush Productions. I am also the video dept. director at The River, a non-denominational church in Nortonville, KY where we are based, my wife, Jessica, and I teach the K.O.P.S. (Kids Of Promise) each month, and I work a full-time job as well.      Burning Bush is comprised of myself (of course), my wife, our daughter, Zoe (she's a big helper), and whoever will help me. (These guys and gals!)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>      But enough about me and my posse, let's talk about purpose and vision. Although, I guess I have to talk a little about myself to get there. So let's go, shall we!?      I LOVE Jesus! Can I say it again? I LOVE Jesus! and since my conversion in 1999 I have always desired to glorify Him and show my thankful heart through service in the church and through the creative and artistic gifts he has given me.(1 Corinthians 10:31) Then in November of 2004, my wife and I were pastoring a small church when God suddenly dropped in my spirit, during a prayer meeting, to make videos that would help teach the lessons for our own original v.b.s. (Vacation Bible School) This blew me away because I didn't even own a video camera! But as mind-boggled as I was my heart began to burst with the vision God had imparted to me and thus Burning Bush Productions was birthed. Then as the Holy Spirit led and we listened and followed the vision has continued to grow.      Through transition, time, hard work, and God's great grace here we are now, hooked up, rooted and ready to reach out to a lost generation that is being raised up without the knowledge of Jesus Christ or His ways.      We cannot sit back and leave this to someone else and say it is their responsibility. Jesus handed each of us the ball through the Great Commission and it's up to us whether we will be obedient or not. He is calling us to reach out with His Love like never before. Because the world and the enemy (Satan, the devil, and all his cronies) are trying to cloud the minds of our children and anyone else with darkness and anything that can distract them from the truth of God's Word and His Love.      We must begin to look behind us, not to relive the past, but to notice those who are coming up behind us. It is our duty to help them come to know Jesus Christ personally, not teach them about some religious form.      God's Word is not confined to ink on paper. It is alive and the same truths can be taught through many different mediums. This is our vision or should I say Tele-Vision:                Jesus used parables to teach and prepare those who weren't ready to receive God's Kingdom. That's our God-given goal and purpose in this life. We want to glorify Jesus and prepare the hearts of the generations coming up to receive Him and His ways. As well as, teach, instruct and correct those who are already a part of that Kingdom. (Matthew 13:10-12,34,35)      So with all that being said, Burning Bush Productions is here to reach out with eye catching life changing entertainment in many forms of media that can Set Your Life On Fire with purpose and fulfillment that can only come through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He alone is true salvation. (Acts 4:10-12) ________________________________   If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to or if you need to come back to Him check out this video:   ________________________________   Manga and more...
