Documentary: Why Media? Why Video?

Source: TWR MOTION

Adam, a missionary in North Africa, lives in a country where the government was censoring the internet big time until a few years ago. And during that period, he felt God call him to use the internet to share the gospel, which happens to face overt hostility from authorities.

Despite his hesitation, Adam answered the call. He and other missionaries discovered that social media marketing is a gold detector in identifying and connecting with people who are asking faith questions online, like: “Who is Jesus?” or “Is the Bible true?”

Watch the trailer below, then go to the website to watch the 27-minute documentary about how missionaries are leveraging digital media to further kingdom ministry in some of the most difficult places. Admittedly, it is something of a promotional piece for TWR MOTION (a ministry of Trans World Radio). But it’s great at vision casting and explaining how these strategies work.

You might also be interested in a couple of shorter videos we have linked to before: an explainer-type video on leveraging media to start disciple-making movements and a case study about digital media and church planting in Bosnia.

Note that ministries focused on media and missions tend to work together quite a bit. If one does not offer the resource or training you need, they may be able to help you find it elsewhere.

Last week, I came across a digital media outreach tool that might touch your heart: Watch this short video of a young, Ukrainian refugee praying over her country (version with English subtitles).
