Does it work?
One Missionary to Central America posted their Missions Media produced video on their home web site.
A Pastor looked up their site, watched the video, and pledged $150 per
month in support - without having the Missionary in for a service
thereby saving hours of travel time, as well as travel, food, and
lodging expenses!
Missions Media is making a huge difference - TODAY!

Providing Tools
for Contemporary Missionaries
|
Missions Media is
a ministry started by two ministers to provide missionaries with
professional quality, custom-made DVD's that will help expedite their
itineration time - at little or no cost to them.
Missionaries are filmed in a greenscreen studio telling
their story. In post-production, video and photos of the nation the
missionary works in and the activities he or she is involved in are
added, along with other components that best present the message.
It is Missions Media's goal to give each missionary we serve 200 DVD copies for distribution.
Missionaries who have checked into having a professionally produced DVD have found the cost prohibitive: $3,000 to $5,000 per finished minute! Definately beyond a missionary's budget.
Few
of them have had the time to concentrate on learning video production,
let alone have the funds to purchase pro-line equipment. Those who have
not been on the field yet do not have footage or photos to tell their
story.

Why Missions Media?
* On the average, it takes missionaries 18 to 24 months to raise their needed financial and prayer support
* There are very few ministry tools available for raising funds outside of prayer cards and newsletters
* Missionaries must travel thousands of miles in order to meet their many scattered speaking schedules
* Most missionaries have yet to involve the business community in their support raising efforts
In light of these facts, we want to provide missionaries, free of cost, a professionally produced DVD that can be...
...sent to Pastors to spark interest when the missionary requests a speaking engagement
...played in a "Missions Window" when the missionary visits a church
...shown in services any time of the year as a prayer reminder to the congregation
...embedded in many web pages - the missionary's personal site, churches that support the missionary, District sites, etc.
...a quality presentation for sharing with business men and women
...a powerful tool for prayer
