"enough"
A story of satisfied surrender
Kickstarter by Jonathan Gouthier
Life story of coming to the end of a rope saying "enough" and noticing that Jesus is "enough".
This is my first written published work. I am a Minister in the making and have a passion for teaching people the way of faith in Christ Jesus. This book came to me one evening when I was preparing a sermon for the congregation I attend. It spoke to me and burns as a fire in my bones. My passion for Christ shows in my speaking and in the written word.

The Bead-It-Up Beading Station
Kickstarter by Ilene Baranowitz
With the Bead-It-Up Beading Station, you work vertically instead of using a bead board that sits flat on the table. When designing on a bead board for a long while, your neck tends to get kinked due to the angle used to constantly look down at the board.
By designing vertically, the designer can use the Bead-It-Up Beading Station to view the almost-finished necklace (before crimping it off) by holding the creation in front of your neck while checking the drape and the design features in a mirror. In addition, the Beading Station can be used to create single and multiple strand bracelets and even add charms to a chain bracelet. The possibilities are endless while adding to the enjoyment of creating jewelry!

The goal of this project is to design our own shirts incorporating our trademarked company logo and to acquire the equipment necessary to produce them.

The Shroud of Torrington
Film Project
by Jeffrey Messenger
From the mind of Paranormal Researcher and Author Jeffrey J Messenger, comes a terrifying tale of good versus evil.
In the year 2005, I published the critically acclaimed novel The Shroud of Torrington. Weaving actual research involving the Shroud of Turin with religious demonology, this story is an effective mystery- thriller. Incorporating themes of friendship, unrequited love, and loyalty, the story has much to offer to a wide audience.
As a low budget film, I will employ local actors, and seek affordable CGI and soundtrack technicians. I will direct the film, as I envisioned the story while writing it. Cinematic influences will include the films The Exorcist, Signs, and The Shawshank Redemption.
