Building Up The Kingdom of God using Technology and Media

This is a new era for Crunch Media, we are now licensed pastors through the Saints of Value Ministerial Training Center. http://saintsofvalue.org

As we are beginning a pastorial internship offciated July 12, 2008, we are certainly growing in our knowledge of His will.

Our mainstay of work that we perform presently is a food ministry that we pastor 40 families at a service we conduct prior to giving out the free food. Many people are being saved weekly.

We are also making sure that our technology and media ministry is full steam ahead. Working with many different organizations to assist them in preaching the gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ.

As time progresses we are believing God for our ministry to get fully established along with our pastorate through the Saints of Value organization so we thank you for your prayers and financial support as God leads. We are praing that God allows us to use interesting graphics, motion graphics, animation, video, photography, audio and text and that God would send the talented individuals to us as we endeavour to build the team.

God Bless and we will talk to you soon God willing,

Derek and Zurlene

Biblical Christian Character Development

Its been a year or two since we have blogged and a host of changes have taken place within the ranks of the Crunch Media family

Changes within our minds and hearts that have provided for us greater resolve, determination and clarity regarding what we are actually here for, what we are supposed to be doing with our time, resources, finances and relationships

Steering directly to the heart of God, seeing His hand move in our lives, allowing Him the ultimate authority to guide and direct our paths in a way that is pleasing to Him and glorifies His Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth

Nothing will deter us from our mission

The weeks and months ahead will be a tremendous time for Zurlene and I to just get to work hand-in-hand with other key individuals and organizations that share a like-minded approach to allowing our live to be molded, shaped and ultimately used in these last days to usher souls into right relationship with God the Father by Grace through Faith in His son

Thank you for your investing time in reading this as well as taking time to visit Crunch Media and for your prayers

God Bless You!

 

Moving Forward As Christian Technologists

Zurlene and I would like to share with you about where things are for CrunchMedia, where we have come from, and where we see things going in the near and not so near future.

Following this letter from Zurlene and I you will be able to see some information about Kingdom Causes, an organization CrunchMedia is working alongside to preach the gospel using technology and media.

We were once just happy and so excited to have been able to put some video of some of our artist and pastor friends online and to make websites that can use video, we thought that was it.

As we became more skilled in our ability to shoot programs and events, as well as making DVD’s and more importantly approaching High-Def quality levels (we are still striving to reach that goal and are much closer) on our sites we became more excited to see all of the ways we could dream of to reach out to our saved and unsaved friends with the good news of Jesus Christ of Nazareth dying on the cross for our sins and being raised from the dead for our justification.

Our lives have been changed being in the room with Dr. Alec Rowlands and Reverend Ray Bringham when we recently shot the California Pastor to Pastor conference, I mean REALLY CHANGED FOR GOOD!!! You can watch the program and listen to Rev. Ray on a podcast soon to find out what happened but back to what I was saying.

These are some of the programs that are going forth with the help of Kingdom Causes and the most important part of this correspondence.

This is a call for financial and prayerful support of Kingdom Causes.

They are holding a fundraiser golf tournament Monday, October 16, 2006. It is 100 holes of golf that you can pledge $1 a hole that Zurlene and I will be playing in support of that ministry that in turn supports CrunchMedia and the work of the ministry going forward with technology and media campaigns.

All of the funds go to Kingdom Causes in the form of an envelope that gets mailed to you after the golf marathon so you can send in your pledge.

Our involvement with Kingdom Causes is that CrunchMedia has the fortunate opportunity to be in the zone when the Spirit of God is moving to capture the moment and share it with you!

One of the ways Kingdom Causes is helping CrunchMedia is that they will, with CrunchMedia’s direction, be purchasing and Co-Locating in a data-center a true streaming WindowsMedia Server.

What does that mean?

if you watch the Barry Felis Ministries North Coast Evangelism Kick-Off 22 Minute Spot on CrunchMedia, it takes a considerable amount of time to buffer, please be patient, allow the video to buffer and enjoy the program, please do!!

What the streaming server will do is allow the programs to load quickly, with even a higher quality, with chapter markers, fast forwarding, rewind and lots of other excellent features.

We will be working with Kingdom Causes to use the server to preach the gospel in intellegent, extremely advanced ways that will result in a user experience for the vewiers that is what we believe unsurpassed in all of The Kingdom!!!

Zurlene and I thank God for Brother Evan’s vision, leadership and quality of character in this exciting time in these last days!

Jesus is coming soon, let’s reach out together and bring as many to heaven with us as we are on the way!

God Bless you, please read the information below about Kingdom Causes and thank you for supporting the golf marathon fundraiser for Kingdom Causes!

In His Love,

Derek and Zurlene

Call for Unity in The Body of Christ

Hello,

This message is being sent out to for the purpose of a request for prayer and support for the Media and Technology outreach moving forward.

It is my sincere desire that we can begin to engage in dialogue regarding how we might be able to collaborate on a plan to build up The Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth and see the lost coming to saving faith.
 
My name is Derek B. Moore, my wife Zurlene and I are a part of CrunchMedia, we are Christian Technologists.
 
In our arsenal is Cinematography, Filmmaking, Web Development, Podcasting and the written word.
 
The reason for the correspondence is to introduce us and to see if we can talk about how to build unity in The Body of Christ to see the community of the spoken word specifically the Christian Rap world reach out to the unsaved.

Zurlene is in the planning stages of having a concert fundraiser sometime in the summer of 2007 for her vision to have My Fathers House biblical food restaraunt with high-tech video-conferencing and internet workstation facilities as well as nutrition books, Christian music and products.
 
Another goal is to have an LA and OC radio station, actually over-the-air FCC FM stations with Christian Rap. That would be a five year goal as of Sep 2006.
 
In the mean time we are producing concert DVD’s and online films as well as online radio.
 
How I think we can work together is to start to build programming together.

So look at our site if you have the time, http://CrunchMedia.com and let us know what you think.
 
In Jesus

A Little Bit of Christian Technology

Hello all! This is Derek,

Since there are no rules against me reviewing my own site, in all fairness let me be as objective as possible.

We will tell all of you about the features of about the CrunchMedia site Zurlene and I like as well as need to continue to improve and also features that have not been implimented yet that we would like to provide in the not-so-distant future.

 - – - – First, our slogan is “Streaming the Way (in HD)”  what that means is that we are leading the way back to God by grace through faith in The Lord Jesus Christ using the vehicles of media and technology to crush the devil.

HD means High-Definition (720 progressive or 1080 interlaced horizontal lines of resolution) being higher than standard definition (480 interlaced horizontal lines of resolution)(I know this is really technical so bear with me) but the user experience of downloading HD is really not there until broadband speeds exceed 6 megabits, DSL except for the fastest SUPER DSL which is really tough to get and cable-modems just arent there yet. so even though technically speaking we are SD (standard definition) the look and feel is HD.

How can say HD when we are really SD because we shoot cine-look 24 progressive frames a second film style with our cinematography. so if it takes a while to buffer, please be patient, it is worth waiting a few moments to get to see the film, the audio is good enough to turn up loud (in my opinion) and we are working on getting a true streaming server turned on for all of you to have a better experience.

If you have read this far you care enough about what’s going on to look into it so Zurlene and I would ask you to pray and seek God’s face as to wether he would have you sow into this ministry your financial support.

Working with pastors, evangelists and artists to preach the gospel

There are lots of things going on around the CrunchMedia tables.

 Zurlene and I were last night over at the Bob’s Big Boy in Torrance with the Overcoming Glory Ministry team of Graydon and his wife Wanda last night.

We were discusing all of the diferent ways that technology and media are being utilized as a vehicle on the information superhighway to deliver messages, some good some evil.

I have done both.

Now that I am saved and my wife Zurlene as well, we are exclusively doing the former, that is delivering THEE good message that Jesus Christ of Nazareth suffered and died to pay the penalty for our sins and rose again the third day for our justification.

Things have tremendously changed for my wife and I recently in fact and we are building a network of pastors with the help of God to bring unity to The Body of Christ, praying in The Spirit, repentance, confessing the sin of prayerlessness (especially for you pastors) as well as ALL OTHER SIN, and when you stand praying forgive.

You can imagine if you are saved of course that there is a season of plenty ahead for those of us on this wavelength that will ride the light, yes in fact BE the light of life, shining in darkness for all to see and know that we are his by our love one for another.

I really am into and definitely enjoy technological things and am SUPER exited about the direction God has brought to my life and the clarity that my wife and I are filmakers, cinematograophers and producers of websites, now blogs, podcasts, films and television.

So enjoy!

http://CrunchMedia.com/contact Zurlene and I, call, write, comment on this post and pray!

Be an encouragement to us, we are doing this for you, to be a blessing to The Body of Christ and outsiders as well, The Lord is kind to the unmerciful and sinners.

Thank you for giving of your time to read this blog and come back soon, Zurlene and I will be here for you, we love you with The Love of The Lord!

Cheers!

CrunchMedia and TriedStone Productions Welcome Post

This post is being written to the public regarding the new face of CrunchMedia that is now available on the world stage for the purpose of preaching the gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ utilizing multi-media technology.

 My wife Zurlene and I are cinematographers in the process of producing films and musical adaptations of salvation message presentations in multi-cultural biblical world view fashion.

My wife Zurlene and I would like to ask you for your prayers for our ministry and for you to contact us with your feedback (http://CrunchMedia.com/contact).
