Elaine Gonino, Danielle Baker, Greg Baker, Dominic Gonino
After pastoring Fellowship Bible Church for 11 years Dominic and Elaine Gonino have turned over the pastorate to a new minister. “This is a church planters dream” Dominic commented at the installation service of Pastor Greg Baker. Fellowship Bible Church is the second church the Goninos have helped bring to maturity so that it can stand alone without mission support. The Goninos’ ministry will now be focused on Dominic’s role as U.S. Area director for BMW. God graciously allowed us to be there to film this special moment in the Gonino’s ministry.
Which way?
Pioneer Bible Camp
During our stay with the Goninos, we also filmed the activities of Pioneer Bible Camp. This camp is a Christian ministry that shares the Gospel with hundreds of children each summer. Campers from a variety of religious backgrounds hear the gospel each week. This camp is surrounded by several LDS (Mormon) camps called stake camps. The LDS influence is very strong in this valley. There is no high school in the valley, but there are 11 Mormon wards, which average 250 members each.

Effectiveness
Pray that God will use the film we are producing to inspire more church planters to come to this needed field. Pray also that it will challenge Christians to pray for and support the missionaries already on this field.
Endurance
Our film schedule keeps us working every day of the week and we are already growing weary. Pray that God will supply the energy and rest needed to gather quality footage.
Guidance
Pray that God will continually give us creative ideas for how to keep the video visually engaging. We need God’s wisdom so that we can tell His story.
