Welcome to our new online newsletter. I want to keep you updated on what we are doing here at Media Missionary School. Thanks to everyone who reads my blog and follows our website. This newsletter will provide you with more behind the scenes news. I also want to thank supporters and donors who help make the ministry a possibility.
Now to today’s update:
After a two-year absence from the National Religious Broadcaster’s Convention in Nashville, TN, thanks to a generous contribution from a donor, I will be attending this year’s conference which starts on February 26. The NRB is the largest gathering of Broadcasters and media makers who work in faith-based and Christian media. It’s an excellent opportunity for networking and educational workshops.
This year at the conference, I plan to meet with several television network representatives. I will be pitching a new program concept. We hope to produce six 30-minute to one-hour specials per year dealing with media issues. The programs will feature interviews and stories on Christians who are making an impact in film, TV or media.
I’m convinced audiences are interested in media issues and want to know how media is impacting their lives as well as the lives of their children and grandchildren. The series will explore the lives of Christians who work in both Christian and mainstream media. A pilot will be shot on February 7 so please pray that everything goes as planned. We will have a short window to finish the post production in order to have a program that we can show the networks. This will be an excellent opportunity to talk about the role and purpose of media missionaries within the industry.
