Act One trains and mentors Christians of all denominations for careers in mainstream film and television. We prepare our students to produce film and TV projects that combine mastery of craft with great depth and meaning. As a non-profit organization, we train Christians of all denominations for careers in mainstream film and television, and are wholly devoted to the professional and spiritual development of our students. We have aspiring film and television writers, and the Executive Program, for aspiring entertainment executives, in addition to many other programs and services for our alumni and the public.

Stressing artistry, excellence, professionalism, and Christian spirituality, Act One prepares students to pursue careers marked by personal integrity and professional excellence, in writers rooms, on sets, and in studio and network offices. Our goal is not to produce explicitly religious entertainment, but movie and TV projects that respect and serve the global audience, combining mastery of craft with great depth and meaning.

Act One was founded in Hollywood in 1999 by a group of Christian entertainment industry professionals who hoped that by training future screenwriters and executives who are dedicated to artistic excellence, meaning and a spirit of love and service, they might transform the content of Hollywood entertainment and the culture that produces it.

The Phoenix Rescue Mission is a family of people who really care about those who are less fortunate -- and who also roll up their sleeves to see that the work of caring for these people actually happens. Our family is made up of a hard-working Board of Directors who give many contributed hours each month to the policies, procedures, and spiritual conformance of the Mission's operations. Our staff is varied in talent and profession, yet are bound in their common effort and love for the people we serve and the Lord who has charged us to care for them.

Our family is blessed with thousands of donors who give of their time, goods, and funds to allow this organization to carry out our work 24 hours each day and seven days each week. We would love to have you join our family in any way your heart may lead you. There are many ways that you can help us feed, clothe, provide shelter to the homeless, and assist young families as they strive to gain the skills and self-confidence needed to become independent and productive citizens.

The mission of Sunshine Acres is to provide a loving, wholesome, Christian home for children who are separated from their parents, and to help them establish long-term relationships with stable parental figures. We serve boys and girls of all ages. The entry age is between 5 and 15. Exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis. Placements are for a minimum of one year and may continue as long as needed and appropriate, even through college.

Children are accepted regardless of race, gender, religion or national origin. Sunshine Acres is a Home and we treat the children as our own. We always welcome visits from former children and their families, as our greatest joy is hearing of their success in life.

Vera Dingman, who founded Sunshine Acres with her husband, Rev. Jim Dingman in 1954, passed away on July 19, 2005. Her faith in God and loving heart are an inspiration to us all. She is dearly missed. Her legacy lives on in our staff and the lives of the boys and girls. Our home is primarily funded by private donations. Contributions are given by individuals, through the United Way, family estates, corporate, and memorial gifts. All gifts, whether they be large or small, are deeply appreciated. We do not receive any financial support from the Federal, State, or City Governments for care of the children. All donations are tax deductible and any contribution is appreciated.

The Gideon’s International is an interdenominational association of Christian business and professional men who are members of Protestant/Evangelical Churches. Our members are dedicated to saving the lost through personal witnessing and the distribution of God's Word in more than 180 countries around the world.

The majority of Gideon’s live and serve in their local communities, making us very effective and efficient because . . .
• They know the local language and customs

• They know where the hotels, schools, prisons, hospitals and other locations where Scriptures need to be placed

• Sometimes, we're able to establish local groups of Gideon’s in countries where traditional missionaries aren't allowed to go
