21st Century Digital World: Time to STRATEGIZE
It has been an incredible privilege to speak at universities, colleges, churches, TV stations, and film schools. Now, the focus shifts to strategic action—concentrating on regions that need media inspiration, skills, and vision the most.
95% of Faith-Based Creatives Are Self-Taught
The vast majority have never taken a course in TV, film, video, or media. The result? An overwhelming number of low-quality short films, preaching programs, and nonfiction videos. Most faith-based leaders lack formal media training, leaving them struggling to navigate today’s cluttered digital landscape, cast a clear media vision, and identify skilled visual storytellers who can create compelling content that truly engages audiences with the Gospel.
Reaching the Next Generation Through Media
Half the world is 30 or younger—and many aren’t tuning in to the Sunday morning sermon. For them, God and the Church often aren’t even on the radar. So how do we reach them?
Matchstick Media International is a nonprofit media training organization dedicated to equipping leaders to embrace the power of media. We believe in collaboration—working alongside in-country and regional media groups and ministry partners. Our mission? To empower Millennial believers to reach their peers through compelling, relevant storytelling.
Media is Missions. Media is Evangelism. Media is Outreach.
This compelling video by our great colleagues @IMM in Europe paints the picture for reaching young people.
