In 2005, a group of volunteers, including Chris Lang and Randy Magray, launched a talk radio show for young adults called Hope on Fire. Soon afterward, a television version was developed and launched on various networks. By 2008, it was clear that more structure was needed for fund raising and affiliations. Chris Lang, a small business owner with an MBA, formed Lifestreams Media, Inc., a non-profit organization. The skills learned in the business world were practical, but his love of the Bible, music and media eventually led him out of the corporate world.
We believe that story telling has the potential to change the world. After all, Jesus Himself never spoke publicly without telling stories (Matthew 13:34). For this reason, Lifestreams Media began producing documentary films in 2010 and released our first film, Single Creek, to television and DVD in 2011. Two new films, Aborted Sun and RE: Miracles, are projected for release in 2012.
Lifestreams Media could not happen without Randy Magray and Kevin Shearer. Randy is a former certified financial planner who felt convicted to trade in the calculator and insurance products for video cameras and media ministry. Kevin is a retired US Marine and a man committed to excellence in his spiritual life as well as career. Joining us in 2011 to support film production and customer service, Kevin brings a love of photography, attention to detail and kindness to our customers.
