Actress and film producer Roma Downey has announced the launch of her new venture, an online community to encourage, inspire and unite believers worldwide on Lightworkers.com.

"I have such exciting news to share! I have been asked so often recently, 'Roma, what are you working on? Roma, how do you follow 'Touched by an Angel' or 'The Bible' series?' Well, Lightworkers is my passion and it's coming soon," Downey said in an Instagram post on Wednesday. "Wherever there is Light there are Lightworkers."

"At Lightworkers we are on a mission to brighten your day and who doesn't need more of that, right?" she quipped. "There will be lots of good news to spread with your friends and family and lots of inspiration to get you living your best life."

The couple, who often refer to themselves as "the noisiest Christians in Hollywood," have had great success in the past with the Emmy-nominated miniseries "The Bible," which was watched by more than 100 million people in the U.S., and the feature film "Son of God," which was the second-highest grossing faith-based movie opening of all time.

Downey has been crediting Lightworkers as her production company for the past few years but now the 57-year-old is expanding the brand from TV and film to an online community.

According to the website, Lighworkers "celebrates the good all around us — reminding us that the human spirit is unwavering, full of possibility and capable of inspiring change."
