First official BNM meeting

Written by :Ruby A. Rodriguez

WOW! This three letter word pretty much sums up what I was feeling as I sat at a table with an ordinary group of people planning extraordinary things for our local church. Pretty much the entire meeting I was quiet because all the ideas being shared were exactly what God had placed in my heart. I could’ve shared that, but it was overwhelming to see how God was bringing together this group of 6 people, whom for the most part had never met each other before, but came with a same vision. A vision is defined as “a thought, concept, or object formed by the imagination” (Merriam-Webster), but our vision goes beyond that. Our vision is not what WE imagined but our vision is a glimpse of God’s heart.

For all of you who don’t know much, or perhaps nothing at all, about Broken No More Productions here’s a, I guess you can call it, description of what this ministry is about in the words none other than Denise (the one who started it all) just the way she described BNM to me.

Well here is some basic info about broken no more (bnm) we are a concert     promotion company/ multimedia/ event coordinator/ graphic design/ type of    ministry. There is no real “group” we fall in because we are so diverse and appeal to     many different cultures and aspects of ministry.  BNM is not affiliated with any     specific church, or religion we are just Christ followers, believers that God is God and we are here to serve Him. We are all part of different churches but agree that there    is much work to be done here in the Valley for the youth generation.

Our desire is not to entertain, I think there are enough entertainers in the world, but our desire is to work to make worship nights happen (which is completely different than your typical concert atmosphere). Worship has been limited to just being expressed through ‘praise and worship’ music, but worship can be captured in rock, rap, country music, you name it. Worship is not defined by the song being sung in a given genre, but worship is what comes from our hearts to God. And we are not limiting these events to only those who have been saved, but we’re clearly using Jesus’ ministry as an example, with a mission to reach out to the lost.

God has something great in store for us here in the valley, and every else. I believe we as a church have been spiritually dormant for far too long. It’s time to take the stand for what we have been called for and actually start living the life of a ‘Christian.’ That being, first of all, being a reflection of who Christ was when He was here on Earth, loving everyone no matter their ‘salvation status’ for love is the greatest commandment given to us  and let’s not forget what else we’ve been asked to do… “”Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” (Mark 16:15)

Pretty much that sums up what I have to say, I just want to encourage you to get involved in your church, and let’s start making Jesus known! For the best days aren’t behind the church, our best days are ahead of us.

Be blessed,

Ruby A. Rodriguez
