The Anavah Table was formed in 2023 in collaboration with One Kingdom and Media to Movements. We began on the simple idea of how to bring creative professionals to front line missionary teams. In that first 24 hours, we were able to create 24 videos by 7 professionals who donated their time. Those videos were then seen by over 500,000 people in 6 countries.
Since then, we’ve done more Creation Days and completed our first tactical trip in March of 2025. We’ve served teams in 12 countries and have created, finished, or developed over 60 videos.
Our collective represents filmmakers, editors, media missionaries, agency owners, brand strategists, and graphic designers spread across every time zone and two continents. And there is always more room at the table.
Andrew Cardy is our founder. He’s been a creative professional for over 20 years working as an actor, writer, filmmaker, corporate storyteller, brand strategist, and a few other hats as well. He and his wife Rachel owned their own web and video production company for almost 10 years. He’s also worked on staff at a church, at a nonprofit, as a freelancer, in a marketing agency, and as a solopreneur.
These days, you can find out more about his corporate storyteller work at andrewcardy.com.
Creation Days and Tactical Trips are just the beginning for our collective. While we continue to serve more teams across the globe, we are also working on two other initiatives as well:
Gathering together with creative professionals, movement workers, and indigenous creatives to develop spiritual disciplines and creative excellence.
One of the fastest growing needs in movements is the need for sustainability and entrepreneurship among movement workers. When giving your life to Christ removes your ability to be employed, we need to create a new opportunity. Most church planting movements are sustained when local businesses begin supporting them.
We believe that a creative business is one of the most scalable, culturally adaptable, and low entry. So, we’re in the process of seeking partners, funding, and resources to develop businesses in a box and training cohorts for creative business launching.
