Gods Media Army

1 Gods Media Army Proud to be a part of GODS MEDIA ARMY Mission Statement: Everyday it is becoming more and more evident that the evils of the world are being promoted by the mass media, in radio, tv, satellite, and in magazines and publications. The Bible predicted that this would happen in the last days before Jesus Christ returned to earth. We (James & MartyBanfield) have been called to be a part of this Media Army, and helping to take back the airwaves for Jesus. ABOUT US : James & I were both given separate visions of being a part of Gods Media Army, to help combat the evil that has infiltrated the printed word and the airwaves. When we met, we compared our separate visions, which matched in their entirety. So, we soon saw that the Lord had a lot of work ahead for us and that it was the Lord who had truly put us together. There are four parts of the vision which the Lord has given us ( James & Marty) to complete, concerning Gods Media Army, all four parts being referred to as parts of Gods Media Army. “Gods Media Army” In Faith Studios GMA Radio GMA TV( Audio-visual recordings- ( CDs to be aired on ( CDs & DVDs to also be CDs & DVDs) Radio ) aired on Satellite TV Shows) www.infaithstudios.com GMA Publications The Lowcountry Light Magazine

2( publishing of magazines &books) James & Marty IN FAITH STUDIOS We will begin with the first one, In Faith Studios:An audio-visual TV studio, radio station, & audio-visual recording complex, used to record on airsatellite TV shows, music videos, and music & audio teaching CDs/DVDs and music CDs. All to be produced by “GMA Communications.” First of all, both being singers/songwriters for the Lord, we each had songs which the Lord hadgiven us the vision to produce on CD, and get out to the world. So, in humble small beginnings, wegot to work producing CDs, even without any state of the art equipment to work with. We produced two CDs, on less than professional equipment, knowing that we must put wings to our faith, and actually DO something toward the vision. We feel that we have been faithful in the little, and now are ready to launch into the battle of the Lord for the airwaves & the printed media.According to a vision the Lord gave us, we began preparing for the Lord to bring in through FAITH, a recording studio which could produce professional sound recordings. So, IN FAITH STUDIOS was born, in concept. After 9 months of praying for it, the Lord brought in the funds to upgrade the old recordingequipment where better sound recordings could beproduced. We (James & Marty) give the Lord all the glory and honor and praise for this and what he is continuing to do in our lives. After much prayer, In Faith Studios was birthed.IN FAITH STUDIOS is already partly established, & currently has a website presence at(www.infaithstudios.com) Also, the music publishing company has already been registeredthrough BMI, Inc. , as of 2007, its official name being “Only Believe Publications”. The musicpublishing co. has just been set up for use this past year, but is still in the pre-use stage. Note:The Music Publishing Co. will soon be set up legally & , as well as having the companyincorporated. “Only Believe Publications”- Music Videos will be produced through the BMI registered music publishing name , which would work hand in hand as the music publishing company for In Faith Studios. (BMI, Inc. is the performance rights company we have

3 chosen to register with for dispersement of copyright royalties. ) These music videos will be a witnessing tool to young people, as well as adults, as per a vision given by the Lord to us (James & Marty). Quality Christian programs, as well as specials & short films, will be produced and aired on major satellite networks, with the CDs/DVDs of the programs, or teachings, etc. being offered online through an e-commerce page set up inside the website for In Faith Studios. Through the use of pay-pal, we will be able to sell CDs & DVDs on the world wide net.Example: A thirty minute Christian show would air on TBN, Daystar, The Church Channel, or GodTV, all programs being produced at In Faith Communications Audio-Visual Studios. The websitepresence would generate the sales of Christian books, CDs/DVDs, which would in turn help thecompany generate revenue to run itself, pay a full time professional staff, and a very importantpart, which is to put back monies & funds to help other ministries. Sort of “passing the torch” tohelp other smaller ministries be birthed and sent forth, and all of us doing as the Lord said: bearingMUCH FRUIT! Goal for In Faith Studios: Upgrade to a full state of the art audio-visual tv & recording studio. The present audio equipment would need to be upgraded & more specialized audio & visual equipment needed to integrate In Faith Studios audio capabilities with the audio-visual tv studio. We believe this would be best done by the building of a whole new audio- visual studio itself. Current studio is in our home. GMA RADIO Marty was given the following vision: From: songbird077 (Original Message) Sent: 9/14/2006 9:26 PM I had this as a quick vision before I went to sleep about a week ago! The Lord has moved on me recently, and given me the unction about beginning a radio station, to play the original songs of the Lords Minstrels singer/songwriters, those who cant seem to get anywhere or get that "break" in getting their songs heard, and who are the Lords true anointed voices. Also, for quality Christian Radio Shows to be aired, helping to spread the Word! So, I talked to James and BJ about investigating into what it took to start this station, and how much it would cost... No money, just Hebrews 11:1 collateral.

4 THE VISION That night I saw this vision: James and I were standing in the high heavens together , amongst the stars, high above the earth,,,,and James had on some kind of work helmet and I also had one on....and then I was outside of my body, looking down on both of us as an observer....and I saw us both looking up, and on top of my helmet was this thing, this huge sort of antenna thing, and it began telescoping upward, like an antenna that you pull up in sections and it was being pulled up by itself, and as it rose, with me as the observer, it kept rising above the top of the antenna also....for a long space, it just kept rising upward as if it was never going to stop. Then I was back in my own body as the one in the helmet with the telescoping antenna, and I said this, as we both looked upward, "Oh my gosh Its never going to STOP, its going to go on all the way to GOD!" End of dream. So, I believe the interpretation of this dream is that it is just a confirmation of the Radio Station we are to start and host, and also, eventually a Satellite TV show, but it is all up to the Lord.....either way I think it confirms the mission of the Radio Station and that it was connected to GOD Himself, and that He has sanctioned & anointed it. So, Lord, you will surely have to do all of this, and I know that you are able! Marty Clayton-Banfield The vision given by the Lord was of a Christian Radio Station which would broadcast ChristianPraise & Worship songs by well known as well as little known original artists, giving the “little guy” a chance to let his voice be heard for the Lord. GMA TV The confirming dream/ vision: I was an executive secretary to this very powerful man, a film director, and I organized a lot of things for him. He was visiting the office one day, and everyone was in great awe, including myself, and he came in (sort of like the Pres. Of the US visiting) and sat down on a sofa across the way from me, and began asking me questions and actually listening to me as if he were very interested in what I had to say, and my ideas for some short films & videos I wanted to make to witness to young people. I thought he might laugh, but he didnt, and he said, very excitedly, and jumped up off the sofa: “That is a GREAT IDEA, a GREAT idea, we will DO that! “ I was so shocked that this great filmmaker would even listen to me, much less exclaim that he LIKED my ideas. Then in the end of the dream, however, he told me that I had to go to “law school”...and I interpreted this to mean that I needed to learn the laws pertaining to movies, film rights, tv, etc. By the way, the man in the dream was revealed to me- it was the Lord Himself, sanctioning the idea for the music videos, films, etc. (Marty).First of all, GMA TV is the working name we use to convey the televised aspect of Gods MediaAmry Television. Quality Christian Programs would be produced on location at our audio-visual TV Studios, such programs consisting of: ● Music Videos (witnessing tools to reach to young & old alike) ● Short Christian Films

5 ● Documentaries ● Evangelistic Shows ● Teaching Shows ● (Other shows the Lord might lead us to produce & air, as the Lord leads)The actual TV Studio would be used for production of the broadcast video tapes which would thenbe sent to the major Christian Networks to be broadcast over satellite, where a fee would be paid to the major networks for air time. GMA PublishingThe Dream/Vision: James & I were riding down the road in his truck, and I was reading a book, and I saw some people on the side of the road, and so I looked up and told James, “ look there are people beside the road hunting something, we had better stop.” I was reading a book, and I was shocked to realize that lo and behold we had published this book! Then we pulled over to the side of the road, and I quickly forgot about the book. About 12 people were searching on the right side of the road for something. I got closer and asked them, what did you lose? One man looked up at me, and said,THE KEY “We have lost the KEY!” I somehow immediately told him, very assuredly, that IWOULD FIND THE KEY, but they did not believe me, but I went straightway and immediately foundA HUGE KEY! Then in the dream/vision, I saw that the key had opened up a door into a room andthere was a huge Printing Press & James & I were standing there together. End of Dream. (Marty) . The magazine has its own dedicated web interactive online magazine site at www.lowcountrylight.com Our magazine made its debut in Sept/Oct of 2006, and it is called “Lowcountry Light” (seeMagazine logo below) We had much wonderful response from the local and statewide communities,but without the proper advertising & sales, & fulltime staff, we simply were not able to continue the hardcopy publication, and had to revert to an online magazine.Running the magazine all by ourselves was taking its toll on us, so we sought the Lord about what to do, and were shown to go to an ONLINE MAGAZINE for the time being, and that when the Lord wanted to resurrect the magazine back to a hardcopy edition, He would do so in the future , and that He would not let it die. So, at this time, it remains online only, but needs the visibility it

6 should have as a hardcopy Christian Magazine as well. However, we believe it shows our muchhard work and dedication to complete this vision which the Lord has given to us, not only of theaudio-visual studios, but total dedication to ALL ASPECTS of In Faith Communications , being a part of the whole vision. We are determined and serious, not afraid of hard work, and totally dedicated to all the Lord has shown to us, and we believe that we are good stewards of all that He has given us. We lookforward to seeing the Lowcountry Light Magazine resurrected to the original purpose which Godhas for it, as a hardcopy, as well as online Christian magazine, shining the light of the Gospel to allthe world, from the humble South Carolina Lowcountry. Be sure to go online to read the updated Magazine, at http://www.lowcountrylight.com About Us: James & Marty Clayton Banfield: We both have printing/publishing backgrounds. James worked at a newspaper and I, Marty worked at a printing company, doing dark room work, and cutting and pasting and helping in various stages of publishing. ● Also, we are both writers: (see James article “Seeing History Come Alive” in the magazine in your folder)● ( In 2006 & 2007, Marty had a weekly evangelistic (religious) newspaper column in her local newspaper, The Bamberg Herald, called “Spread The Word”- see Martys attached newspaper article) Our daughter is also a publisher & graphic designer & did all the graphics work and layout for the magazine. We feel that GMA Publishing could eventually be run by someone knowledgeable in the publishing business , with us remaining overseers, giving to us more time to finish other aspects of the vision which God has given to us. We realize we will have to delegate responsibility to others who are dependable and honest and who have the same vision as we do for the magazine as well as the entire vision as a whole. Marty picking up the GOAL FOR GMA PUBLISHING : We see an office building dedicated to magazine from Sun GMA Publishing. It could also house the offices of The Lowcountry Light Printers Magazine, as well as house & operate as a small printing company open to the public, similar to Kinkos.
