Our Vision: New Media Teams
/Did you know?
The MENA region is made up of 19 distinct nations, but within these there are at least 580 unique people groups with their own cultures, dialects and traditions.
As many as 390 of these groups are classified as unreached, meaning that less than 5% are professing Christians, and there are inadequate local resources available for evangelism.*
The majority of Christian media in the region is produced in only two countries, and by Christians from a Christian background, not those from a Muslim background.
Experience & research shows that media is most effective when it is curated by those within its target audience.
By establishing and shepherding new media teams, we hope to enable New Church (NC) believers from a Muslim background to reach their own communities in culturally-relevant ways with the Gospel. Funds raised through our Christmas appeal will go towards seeding the first of these teams in Libya. Around 0.5% of Libya’s 6.7 million total population are Christians, but there are approximately only 150 Christians who are of Libyan nationality (rather than migrants)**. The need here is evident, and this situation is found similarly in many other nations in the region.
