Proud to work with and support the Lombard Historical Society. Check out our new video which introduces Lombard to the LHS Carriage House Expansion Project.

In 2020, LHS received a $750,000 Illinois Public Museum Capital Grant to be used to expand and upgrade the Carriage House at 23 West Maple Street. The funds will be used to update the archive, provide more storage for the collections as well as new offices for staff and volunteers, a new gift shop space, modifications for ADA accessibility.

While the grant covers much of the cost, LHS needs your help to cover a ($100,000) shortfall. The additional funds will allow LSH to add a new fully functioning kitchen for events, new technology for presentations, and specialized storage structures needed to protect the artifacts that tell our community’s story.

Please help make history by making a donation in any amount that you can afford. Thank you! Go to: https://www.lombardhistory.org/donatecarriagehouse

What a privilege to help Hephzibah Home in Oak Park, Illinois produce a video presentation for their Hephzibah At Home Together 2021 Virtual Heart of Gold Gala!
For more than a century, Hephzibah has offered short- and long-term group homes for abused and neglected children; child welfare and family services; foster care, adoption programs, and day care for families of all income levels. Hephzibah is about transforming lives in an environment where children can grow into beautiful, strong, caring members of society.

This year’s At Home With Hephzibah Gala event was their most successful fundraising event, generating more than $285,000 plus a generous $200,000 anonymous match to support the critical programming that serves more than 1,400 vulnerable children and families each year.
An expanded version of this six minute program will air in Chicago on ABC7.2 Localish Network in Chicago every Sunday in March 2021 at noon.

Happy autumn from Tim at Frakesproductions.com

I’m pleased to announce that another Greater Chicago Broadcast Ministries documentary I produced for air on ABC7 Chicago has been nominated for a 2015 Chicago Emmy Award. The 57th Annual Chicago/Midwest Emmy Awards are Saturday, November 7, 2015 at the Redmoon Theater in Chicago. This years entry is titled: The People’s Resource Center: The Faith Response to the Reduction of Hunger and Poverty

Peoples Resource Center operates one of the largest food pantry programs in Chicago’s
western suburbs, meeting the basic human needs of nearly 32,000 low-income DuPage
County residents.

This fall I’ll also be telling stories about the great work of Lutheran Social Services of Illinois. LSSI is the largest social service provider in the state, and last year served 73,000 people through 190 programs at 85 sites across Illinois.

In November I’ll be headed back to Mizak, Haiti to work with Haitian Aritisans for Peace International. HAPI is a faith-based community development ministry that empowers Haitians to grow their capacity, lead with integrity, and develop solutions to their own problems.

Work also continues on Gods Glory, Neighbors Good: The Story of Pietism. This fall we recorded interviews with Gracia Grindal
Professor Emeritus of Rhetoric at Luther Seminary and Christian Collins Winn (Associate Professor of Historical and Systematic Theology)at Bethel Theological Seminary.

Then in January, I’ll join the Rev. Eric C. Shafer on Jerusalem’s famed Via Dolorosa telling stories about the Palestinian people, the Stations of the Cross and the great work of the Lutheran World Federation Jerusalem.

Thanks again to all of my clients, friends and supporters who make this meaningful work possible.

This is a video I produced for Mark Brown and the Lutheran World Federation Jerusalem‘s Augusta Victoria Hospital. There is an urgent need for elder care and palliative medicine in Palestine and Israel. Augusta Victoria Hospital is responding to that need by building a 120-bed facility for elder care and palliative care on the east side of the hospital. This facility will help both patients and their families cope with the difficulties of their circumstances.

Intersections International is a leader in the inter-faith dialogue movement. The staff of Intersections International are good people that do important work at a critical time in our nations history.

I am sorry to see the good name of Intersections International drawn into the conversation. I am also proud of the work I did with Intersections International in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon in October, 2009. I traveled with them as part of  the Iraqi Voices Amplification Project.

I am proud to be associated with Intersections International and believe in its mission which is dedicated to promoting justice, reconciliation and peace across lines of faith, culture, ideology, race, class, national borders and other boundaries that divide humanity.
