About us
Outline Films was founded in 2022 with the aim of creating Christian content that inspires, transforms and equip. Looking at available media content today, it is evident that most of the content available are not created from a Christian foundation. In fact, our opinion is that the enemy is using media to spread darkness on a scale never seen before.
We are called to be the light in a dark world. Darkness cannot eradicate light. Darkness will always give way to light.
We want to create content that not only inspires people to want more of God, but to equip them with principles and tools to improve their own lives and their families’ lives.
The platform
We acknowledge that we are not alone in answering God's call for this purpose. The stirring within our hearts is shared by many others. Therefore, our vision extends beyond ourselves. We aspire to establish a platform that empowers creative individuals who feel the same calling. Outline Films aims to become a gathering place where like-minded individuals can collaborate, joining forces to illuminate God's light within the rapidly expanding realm of online streamed media.
Together, we can form a community dedicated to spreading God's message, harnessing our collective talents to make a significant impact. Our ultimate goal is to provide a platform where fellow creatives can come together, share their gifts, and create content that resonates with audiences worldwide.
Turning the Tide
“Turning the Tide” is our first project in collaboration with “The World needs a Father”(TWNAF) worldwide movement, active in more than 100 countries, focused on equipping fathers, building healthy families and transforming communities through biblical fatherhood. Our involvement with TWNAF led us down a path, wherein , we realised the significant hurt so many people experience due to Fatherlessness.
Fatherlessness and its effects are seen worldwide in suicides, identity confusion, divorce rates, incarceration, drug abuse, and criminal activity.
The hurt of fatherlessness drives a generation of men and women with unresolved anger and deep sadness.
People that are hurt, tends to hurt others. People that are broken, tends to break other people. And so, the cycle continues into the next generation. It becomes the norm, a new culture.
We want to Turn the tide by combating the consequences of a good father’s absence. We want to be part of a journey of healing and restoration of men and women scarred by the lack of a loving father. We want to be a beacon of light showing people that there is a better way. There is healing after the hurt. That we can be a blessing to the next generation despite our past.
And most of all, we want to be a reminder to all that our ultimate father is God Himself. There is no earthly father that is perfect. All of us are left with insecurities or hurts that can be traced back to fatherhood, whether it be related to identity, self-image or security. And we believe that every earthly father’s main responsibility is to lead us into a loving relationship with our heavenly father. In Him, only will we find perfect rest.
