Overview
On May 12, 2021, a exploratory meeting was held between members of the Media to Movements Training Coalition, the Mobile Ministry Forum, Vision 5:9 Media Strategies Task Force and Media4Movements. The goal was to interact with leaders of a current DMM in Southeast Asia to learn how media might be able to help them accelerate their work.
Key Ideas
- There is a growing need for media-based discipleship resources for the rapidly growing MBBs in SE Asia. Movements are messy and most of discipleship materials are shared through verbal means.
- Media content that gets into that empathetic space to reach out to the audience regarding social issues are lacking.
- At least 60% of the population, regardless of age uses media of some kind.
- The bottlenecks and pain points are: security, not enough media content to for movement development, limited access to devices and the internet.
- One of the identified next steps is to help local leaders in the field to form new core teams focusing on media. There is also a need to develop capacity to reach out to regional teams to train with basic software and other programs.
- Believers in the movements are passionate in fishing and creating ways to fish for new believers. With the thousands of believers involved, they have a large captive audience and not enough leaders to mentor these groups. The constraint is on feeding and not fishing.
- Some specific things that could help will be in the creation of image-based videos out of the 36 Bible studies and other content. To consider security, we need SD cards to give a core resource of the media and scripture packets to hand out.
- Bottlenecks are production, distribution of content focused on building up leaders from the top-down (within the network).
- How do we augment production, to do practical small studios and create pipelines for distribution?
- Whatever we train needs to be simple and replicable fast enough.
