Lantern Vision Incorporated

A good story does not write itself. As filmmakers, we take the raw elements of human life and bring them together to form a cohesive and creative narrative. This requires a lot of work and a lot of patience, but we are concerned about all the details — from conception to the final cut. We write. We shoot. We edit. We animate. The goal is to transform a story into a visual medium. And since we are ultimately telling not your story, but the story of Christ in you, we hold ourselves to the highest of standards.  Maybe it is the story of a missionary putting his or her life at risk for the gospel. Or maybe it is the story of a student serving the poor in his or her community. Regardless, we believe there are stories to be told in every country and in every community — stories about faith, mercy, suffering, justice, perseverance and above all, love.

In hearing these stories, we hope that you will be inspired to more fully answer the call of Christ in your own life. There are always stories yet to be written. There are always stories yet to be told.

A Few Words From Pastor of First Baptist Birmingham, Dr. Stan Lewis, About His Experience With Lantern Vision:

Having worked with a number of mission groups around the world one of my frustrations has always been how to get the word out about the wonderful things that God is doing through these dear brothers and sisters.  After watching the documentary on the mission work being done by Arctic Barnabas in Alaska, I knew I had to have a missions documentary produced about a group that is dear to my heart – Bible Mission International.  The quality of the Alaska documentary was so impressive and Nathan Troost’s passion and calling for telling the story of these missionaries was evident all through the video.

I traveled with Nathan to Kazakhstan and through the entire process of making the documentary it was obvious that this was a ministry that the Lord has put on Nathan’s heart and, it was a blessing.  Every aspect of the making of this documentary from the research, filming, production, and distribution of the documentary was prayed over and viewed from the perspective of how it would best exalt Christ and help to support and encourage the brothers and sisters of Bible Mission International.

It is encouraging to see a person whose heart is to share the stories of people who labor for our Lord in hard and difficult places yet whose work is not well known but should be.  Lantern Vision exists to share the narrative of our Lord’s work around the world and to bring believers together in prayer and partnership through the art and science of videography.  I was so pleased with Nathan’s ministry to my friends in Kazakhstan and how he has helped to share their story around the world, and I am planning more partnerships with Lantern Vision in the future.
