Since I have been including articles about The Jeremiah House and other ministries of ours, I thought it might be good to include an article that explains a little bit about what we believe in and why we do what we do.
Hale Multimedia LLC is comprised of two generations (third up and coming) of Hales. Howard and Pat Hale adopted Brian and his little sister in the mid 1970's. Howard's mother, the late Eula Hale, was also one who believed in adoption. She adopted a little sister for Howard at a young age. Howard and Pat instilled solid principles into their children that had a very positive impact, especially on Brian.
As a family of believers in the blood of Christ, we understand that we are nothing without Him. Therefore, we continually thank God for the forgiveness and grace He has shed upon us all. We believe that we should serve Him in whatever ways we can, without expecting anything in return.
Most of the ministries that we are involved in center around serving the Lord.
Howard and Pat have served in numerous capacities in their lifelong church at Plymouth Congregational in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Howard has also been named 4-H Volunteer of the Year on more than one occasion for all the free announcing he does for the community. Howard also announced the Cougar Basketball games for 14 years at our local Junior College. Howard gives credit to God for giving him the vocal chords that allow him to be a successful announcer and radio personality. Patricia Hale served as a Speech Pathologist with ESU 13 for many years before retiring a few years ago. Since then, she has taken on home visitations for the sick and elderly as her personal ministry and enjoys it very much.
Brian Hale has had a heart for service for a long long time. He seldom hesitates to help someone in need. Over the years Brian has served in many capacities including as a soldier in the U.S. Army Medical Corps as well many other service related organizations. He has served as a Youth Leader and is currently Game Director for Zion AWANA, Chair of Building and Grounds, serves on the Leadership Team and Missions Committee and manages the multimedia sound system at Bethel Baptist Church. Brian also volunteered to provide Christian, National and Local newscasts to KCMI radio for over a year before being named Director of The Jeremiah House Children's Ministry in Scottsbluff where he had been a volunteer since 1999.
Brian was blessed to have finally found the servant minded partner of his dreams when he met Andrea Bauer in late 2003. Andrea was very like-minded when it came to helping others and the two of them have truly enjoyed serving together. Andi served as a Camp Fire leader and was Choir Director for Zion Evangelical for several years before getting married and starting a family with Brian. She has also served in the AWANA program at Zion since 2000, as VBS Director and Nursery Director at Bethel Baptist since 2005 and as Publicity Director for MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) since 2007. Andi also helps design and maintain numerous websites for non-profit organizations, sings on the Praise Team and graciously helps her husband with his ministries.
We give God all the credit for allowing us to serve Him. We believe it's the right thing to do and we'll continue to do so, even though we know that we could make more money doing other things. It's not about money. It's about serving others for Christ Jesus who died for us all. That's a debt that is even bigger than the U.S. Deficit, which is in the trillions. We simply pray that our community, our great nation and this world are better off because of our service in His name.
