Blog | Motion Worship is Celebrating 10,000 Members!

“I began leading worship, producing worship services, and designing Christian multimedia in 2001. Back then, I remember my church was on the cutting edge, producing custom images to be displayed behind every song. I put hours into photoshopping images together that fit the lyrics. It was great. Then, in 2005, I was introduced to Media Shout, and everything changed. At the time there simply weren’t many resources out there. Mostly clouds, nature and light rays. So after many weeks of prayer and video production, I started Motion Worship in 2006 with just 40 videos.

For four years, I reinvested the income into the business and began sponsoring missionary families. During this time I also worked in young adult ministry, and led worship at conferences across the Midwest with my band, Josiah Smith Band (I’ve had the great honor and pleasure of partnering with Greg Speck on numerous occasions – I love that guy).

In January 2010, I decided that I must give more to my growing subscriber base, so I prayerfully began taking a small salary and working from home 2 days a week. God blessed this investment beyond my wildest imaginings. In 18 months, I was able to double the number of videos available on the site and vastly improve production quality. The number of subscribers grew from 700 to 1,600, and I was able to begin fully supporting 3 missionary families and a World Vision family.

God has made abundantly clear his desire for this business to be my full time ministry to the Church, fulfilling its two missions:
1. To provide churches of every size, in every nation, with affordable, high-quality multimedia.
2. To advocate and provide support for native missions as well as the poor and neglected.”
