DR. SAMUEL R. CHAND / FOUNDER-PRESIDENT / SRC MINISTRIES Michael B. Hardie and Worship Through the Arts have the uncanny ability to capture my ideas and messages and transform them into something that is stunning and tangible. This allows me to reach my focus group more effectively. I can always count on quality designs combined with prompt and professional service. I would recommend Worship Through the Arts to anyone wanting to bring their vision to life.
ROGER MILEHAM / PASTOR / TRINITY FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER Graham Cooke, in A Divine Confrontation, says the new way people receive is not the ear gate but the eye gate. Media is the new way God captures our hearts. There are only a few people who have the gift of viewing life through a lens to help us see what God sees; Michael Hardie is one of those people. Michael has taken our church to new heights in media and visual design and has also made this pastor aware of how moving media can be at touching the hearts of people. He has a teachable spirit and a teaching spirit, giving Michael the ability to walk you through the process without making you feel inadequate. Michael has a way of taking my vision and making it visual to everyone else. There have been many times, both in the church and on the street, when we have worked together on sermon series and he has shown it greater on the screen than I could have said it. He also creates motivational podcasts and interviews. He is a must for your church but you will have to get in line. I found him first.
DR. BENSON M. KARANJA ED.D./ PRESIDENT /BEULAH HEIGHTS UNIVERSITY Beulah Heights University has long tried to accomplish what Worship through the Arts quickly helped us achieve. Because of our partnership with Worship Through the Arts, BHU is able to successfully portray our educational excellence, integrity, and diversity with a global influence. They understand the needs of our target market, listen to our vision, and then create banners, commercials, videos, promotional, and any other marketing tools we require. They are also patient and helpful throughout the design process. Worship Through the Arts takes design to a higher level. We couldn't be more pleased with the work they produce and are often blown away by the creativity and excellence of their work.
MARK GRAHAM /CEO /MGI TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION I am a first time author and have written and self-published 2 books. Michael did the cover design for both. His creativity is amazing! I had thoughts and ideas and to be honest they were lame, I should have just stuck to writing. Michael came with a design that was absolutely amazing. Everyone that picked up the book commented first on the cover. I was extremely pleased. The other amazing thing about Michael is that he is available. Anytime I needed to get an answer he was ready to assist. Because I did go the route of self-publishing he had to also work directly with the printing company. That was a nightmare, but I never had to worry because he took care of everything. I would highly recommend Michael for any project you have in mind. He took what I did to the next level and continues to be an integral part of my business. I wouldn't have anyone else design my book covers!
GARY TEACHEY /PASTOR /THE ROCK WORSHIP CENTER I would like to take this opportunity to endorse Worship through the Arts and Michael B. Hardie. The design they provided for our church was extremely professional and timely. Their spirit of excellence was evident throughout the entire process and they superseded my expectations for our particular project. I can highly recommend Worship Through the Arts without reservation, and can assure you that they will provide a second to none service for all who will allow them the opportunity. Their creative and innovative ideas will enhance any church, business or corporation. Michael’s anointed, God appointed gifts offer a plethora of cutting-edge elements to any project.
ROBIN LAGROW/ WORSHIP LEADER MINISTRY COORDINATOR/ TRINITY FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER Michael is one of the most creative and talented people I have had the pleasure of working with. He has an amazing ability to absorb ideas and requests, transforming them into something creative and innovative beyond expectation. Our church was somewhat creatively inept, and for years desired the ability to graphically and visually portray what had only been a written script of ideas and suggestions. Michael came along and brought about a radical change, actually altering our thinking in so many ways. Our events went from interesting, at best, to vibrant, exciting and highly creative! He is an accomplished videographer and graphic designer, and has a great depth of understanding what it takes for an organization to create an innovative environment. I would highly recommend Michael…he is an amazing resource.
D. NELSON / LT. COL./ UNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE While I was deployed to Iraq as the team leader for a Military Transition Team, I wanted to create a special team coin for my guys, something they could display proudly, look at, and remember. I contacted Michael, gave him a couple basic ideas, some very simple guidance, and a whole lot of freedom! His design was exactly what I was looking for, simple yet wholly unique! Because of what it represents, my "Team Phoenix" coin is truly my most treasured military coin, and Michael's skill and imagination made it all possible.
GEORGE ALLIN / PRESIDENT / ALLIN LANDSCAPING Michael has worked together with our staff to develop striking marketing and sales material. One prospective customer that received one of our marketing pieces said that it was the most professional sales item he had ever seen! His work has been extremely innovative helping to promote distinction with our company and the services we provide!
GARY S. CHAPMAN/ PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER /PHOTOJOURNALIST Some People say you have to be born with a creative eye. Others say you can aquire it. Whichever it is, Michael certainly has it. As a photographer, I do not hesitate to turn my images over to him. He has produced some wonderful layouts and designs. His design always adds something to my photographs. Plus, he is a great guy to work with!
ROBERT HIRES/ OWNER/ ANIMIT WEB SERVICES Worship Through the Arts has been Animit Web Services' top graphic designer for several years. He has excelled at creating attractive, streamlined layouts for sites, which both I and my clients preferred.
SCOTT REECE / PASTOR / LIVING WAY CHURCH Without a doubt, Michael B. Hardie has emerged as one of the most creative and anointed artists that our generation has known. His work stands on it's own as a testimony to the anointing of creativity. Michael easily engages his clients with a graciousness and aptitude that is rare in the field of graphic and media arts. Truly, what he does is unto the Lord and is an example of a life and talent that is surrendered in totality to the spirit of excellence! May I recommend both the man and his work to you, if you are interested in pursuing a higher level of worship through the arts. |
