After more than 2 years of planning and waiting, our anticipated project is now underway. For many months before I arrived in Southwest Florida, WRXY-TV General Manager Paul Lodato, along with Paul Garber and other officials of the Christian Television Network had been planning for the construction of a television production studio for the station. That effort culminated on Thursday, January 31st, shortly after noon, when a groundbreaking ceremony attended by more than 100 area pastors, programmers, CTN officials, and supporters of the station. Spirits were high and the weather was perfect as prayers of dedication were offered and the shovels broke the ground.
The timing of one event proved to be too significant to be coincidental. After more than two years of working with county government in the multitude of permits needed, the final approval of the actual building permit was announced on the very morning of our groundbreaking. We feel and have felt God's presence and provisions up to this point, and we will certainly need his miraculous involvement during the construction and to provide the approximately $1.5 million to construct and equip the facility.
Another exciting plan is for the development of "Vision Video Institute", an intensive training program in the area of visual communication with special emphasis on video production and distribution. We'll have much more to say about this on future posts.
