Jamey Halfast is the Media Minister at Glen Meadows Baptist Church, here in San Angelo. Coming out of youth ministry, Jamey was well aware of the impact that media has on society.
Jamey grew up in Mertzon, becoming a Christian at the age of nine through the daily witness and teaching of his parents. After serving in the Marine Corps for four years, he moved to the Dallas area to go to school. He moved to Goliad, in South Texas, to take his first ministry position. He moved back to San Angelo in 2001, and now his focus is on helping Glen Meadows connect with the media-saturated society we live in.
A confessed Star Wars fanatic, Jamey can trace his desire to be involved in movie-making to the time his grandfather took him to see Star Wars as a kid. After years of waiting, plotting and planning, God began to open doors. In addition to the many short-form videos made for church over the years, he has taken courses in the film business, worked on the set of Sherwood Picture's Fireproof, and wrote the script for The Pearl of Greatest Price.
"My life's verse is Psalm 37:4 - 'Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.' I firmly believe this, because He has proven it over and over. I know it's His desire for me to make this movie, because He gave me the opportunity to make it. I will leave it up to Him to determine exactly how that will happen, and what the final product will be."
