Our Roots & Ministries
We are Mr. B & Mrs. B (Todd & Missy Billingsley). Our hometown is Miami, Florida, although our US home base for the past several years has been Dallas, Texas. We have been living in Austria since 2017 where we volunteer with the Tauernhof Christian Retreat Center, one of Torchbearers International's 25 Christian retreat centers worldwide. We also offer Reel Kids as summer and after-school camps for churches and schools.

Why We Do What We Do
As disciples of Christ, the Apostle Paul describes that we are all in "show business" exhibiting to others the glory of Christ through our lives. Unknowingly, we stumbled upon Paul's "tent making" lifestyle (Acts 18:1-4) of owning no possessions (Philippians 4:11-13) after preparing to serve in Europe. Like when jumping into icy cold water, we briefly panicked, but quickly discovered the joy, freedom and flexibility that being unburdened with possessions brings. With God providing for our needs, and a small crew of wonderful financial supporters who make Reel Kids possible, God has set the stage for us to journey to different locations to host Reel Kids camps. In these camps, we can love on children, teach biblical truths, have a truck load of zany fun together, and share Christ with communities all over the world.
For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display...we have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. – 1 Corinthians 4:9-

Founder & Director
Knowing that two out of three Christians make the decision to follow Christ before the age of 18, Mr. B created Reel Kids in 2011 to share biblical truths while encouraging children to explore their imaginations through filmmaking.

I like Reel Kids because we learn how to film, and then people come to see what we did.
