The Callback List

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began… (2 Timothy 1:9 KJV)

January 4 was callback day for AMTC Winter 2009. Contestants worked for many months to prepare their talent. Some worked for many years. Indeed, they are “prisoners of hope.” Our VIP Guests issued their callback lists at AMTC, and hopeful contestants waited in eager anticipation to see on which lists their name may be written. Jesus came to deliver God’s prisoners of hope, and He will not disappoint you. Yet, the world might.

Still, God loves His children in the here and now- not just in heaven. He delights in our joy. For those AMTC contestants who are following a calling God put on their lives, He will not disappoint you. While we may wish the fulfillment of our dreams today, right now, only God knows the right timing. According to His own purpose and grace, your calling will be perfectly fulfilled. God will surely reward your leap of faith.

As we proceed from January into February, AMTC is now in auditions all over the country. Bright-eyed families come to see who we are and where they might fit into the entertainment industry. They put their talent on the line. AMTC Audition Teams must also issue callbacks. During that first crucial look, callbacks are based on our quick glimpse of your intelligence, goals, attitude, and ability. We do our best to choose those we believe are most ready for the AMTC experience. We are good at our jobs, but we are not perfect.

Yet, there is One who is perfect: God, and He surely wants you on His callback list. It the list that matters the most. When you are following God, He will make sure that the right doors open for you to multiply the talents He gave you!
