“We can be the trellis that enables others to bear fruit.” Seeing the talent and dedication of local media teams gave me a deeper understanding of our role in missions, not to lead the work, but to walk alongside and strengthen those already sharing the Gospel in their own communities.

1. What moment from your trip has stayed with you the most?

There are so many singular moments to remember, but seeing and experiencing first hand a bit of the intimidation of Christians in India.  And the work involved to overcome that!

2. How did this experience change your perspective on missions or God’s work around the world?

It is one of the best ways to see, experience, and determine our role and purpose in sharing the Gospel around the world.  We can be the trellis that enables others to bear fruit.

3. What surprised you most about partnering with local media teams?

The talent and knowledge of the local media teams is amazing!  Gaining a greater understanding of the power of using ethnoarts in sharing the Gospel.

4. What would you tell someone considering becoming a Project Video Ambassador?

Give it prayerful consideration, then go boldly forth!  I found it powerful to participate in a distribution event for Gospel audio players - full circle from our church's participation in the campaign to raise funds for players, see the work involved in preparing and distributing them, understanding their role in discipleship, and testimonials from recipients.

5. In one sentence, how would you describe your experience?

A blessing to be part of the Project Video Family, walking alongside our mission partners.
