Lent

Happy 1st Friday of Lent!

  What a wonderful season in our Church we have entered. Though this is a time of prayer and fasting and much self sacrificing, we can also look at Lent as a joyous time. Fasting from things that lead us to sin and being stripped of our selfishness, pride, vanity, ect... will bring joy into our lives. For we have recognized the vices and use this time to ask God to heal those areas. No longer are we living in the dark, but we are living in the light and walking in God's will. What could be more joyous than that? So rather than looking at fasting with an attitude of "man I have to give up_____ for 40 days! ," look at it as a time to grow deeper with our Savor!
Carlos Showing Stephen
  At Lumen for .5 seconds we thought about giving up Cuban Coffee, but who are we kidding? Instead we are praying about what God wants us to do as a company during these next 40 days! 
  Today we had an office packed with volunteers and meetings. We are jazzing up our website for the Spiritual Adoption! So far we have 409 babies Spiritually Adopted! Please continue to tell your family and friends! Our goal is to get 1,370,000.00 adopted. Please don't hesitate to ask anyone! 
 Below are some pictures from today and we also released our 2nd Fruit Basket video Enjoy the pictures and the video. Don't forget to get some Cuban Coffee in this weekend, unless you gave it up for Lent. Have a blessed weekend and we will see you Monday! ~Lumen Crew

Guadalupe Box



    This week has been incredibly eventful. We have officially kicked off our Spiritual Adoption Campaign and have unveiled our Fruit Basket Project. On Tuesday, St. Valentine's Day, we went to WQOP to launch our Spiritual Adoption Campaign. Terry, Brian, and Nicol enjoyed doing a live radio show promoting Lumen's new campaign. Please help spread the word about Spiritually Adopting a baby.
  


    Our biggest blessing that came this week was our new super computer arriving yesterday( February 16). Brian was actually quite surprised, because the new computer was not supposed to arrive till February 29th. So this puts us 2 weeks ahead of schedule! Praise the Lord! Our super computer will help us to render Skiff and AJ's Fantastic Voyage. We are pleased to introduce to you "Guadalupe"... Why Guadalupe? This is a quote from Brian..."If Our Lady can render an image on a tilma, then she can help to render our film."

Meet Guadalupe
    This afternoon we did another interview for our Fruit Basket. We interviewed Nicol and have Ally's interview ready! Check out our Vimeo page to meet Ally!
    Below are some pictures from the weeks events. We hope you have some Cuban Coffee and have a blessed weekend! Don't forget to help spread the word about our Spiritual Adoption Campaign. ~Lumen Crew

Spiritual Adoption Campaign

  

Happy Feast of St. Valentine!  In last Friday's blog we had mentioned there was a lot of exciting things transpiring here at the office. Starting today at 12pm we will be kicking off our Spiritual Adoption Campaign. 

What is a Spiritual Adoption?
   Spiritual Adoption is when we commit to pray daily for a baby that is in danger of being aborted. The prayer we will send you is short and sweet. You'll have it memorized the first week!

What's this particular Spiritual adoption all about?
    First, there is no cost involved. This campaign is about the power of prayer.
It is estimated that 1.37 million babies will be aborted in the United States in 2012. Our goal with this campaign is to have a minimum of 1.37 million babies being prayed for from March- December.This campaign We will be praying also for the baby's parents and for a safe delivery. The beauty of spiritually adopting a baby is it could potentially save the life of the baby!
    We invite you to join us in the this 9 month Spiritual Adoption of a baby that is in danger of being aborted this year.
    Your prayers united with thousands of others is going to be powerful! The Spiritual Campaign kick off is February 14, 2012(today!) and our official starting date is March 26th, 2012. From March 26th ( The Annunciation) to December 25th(Jesus' birthday) we will all be praying together for the baby we have adopted. We have some amazing resources to share with you over the next nine months that will enrich your life.

TODAY from 12pm-1pm Brian, Terry, and Nicol will be live on WQOP talking about the Spiritual Adoption Campaign and also updates on Skiff and AJ's Fantastic Voyage. We invite you to call in and spiritually adopt a baby, we would also love to hear from you!

May the love of our Lord Jesus fill your heart and cause you to spread His love to those who are in need of love today! Pictures later today! ~Lumen Crew

Happy February

We play "Kill the Ant" game to pass the time as we wait on scenes to be finished...
   February has arrived with a bang! It's only February 3rd and much has happened here at the office and in the states. At Lumen we were a little excited to hear that the Komen foundation defunded Planned Parenthood, but then our joy was turned to sorrow when the news came they reversed their decision. So now it's back to praying for the Susan G. Komen foundation and that their eyes and hearts will be opened to the truth behind Planned Parenthood.
   In other news, today we began to film for a side project "The Fruit Basket." Tune back in on Wednesday February 8th(next week) for all the details. Until then we have pictures to share with you below. You can also visit our Facebook page to view all the pictures. As you begin your weekend, don't forget to have some Cuban Coffee. We pray you have a blessed and joy filled weekend. Don't forget to laugh and share a smile with a stranger. ~Lumen Crew
