Episode 262: GodNetworkNews - Epi 262 - Smartphone Filmmaking in Malawi pt2 Jun 09, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, we dive into the story of Smartphone Filmmaking in Malawi—These sources, presented as episodes of the podcast "God Network News," provide an overview of a unique project in Malawi that utilizes smartphones for filmmaking to share the gospel. The project challenges traditional filmmaking assumptions by training individuals in remote villages with their existing phones and minimal equipment. It emphasizes adapting professional techniques to mobile capabilities, using external lenses and microphones for enhanced quality, and employing stabilizers for smoother shots. A key element is the creation of an offline sharing app, which addresses distribution challenges in areas with limited internet access and fosters community engagement through the sharing of culturally relevant stories like Fatu's adaptation of the prodigal son. The project embodies the concept of "new fire," igniting the potential of readily available tools for creative expression and empowering local storytellers to produce authentic and impactful films.
The Lord is moving around the world in unprecedented ways to bring in the end time harvest! We aren’t simply witnessing a good strategy in missions; we are witnessing a sovereign move of God to reach those who have never heard of him before. Listen and be blessed!

Episode 259: GNN International Podcast Epi#259 - Positive Impact Stories: My Bible In My Language May 12, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, we explore the inspiring story behind "My Bible In My Language", the very first contextualized, illustrated Bible created for Roma children. Born from a dream shared by a Roma believer and the creative team at Create Seeds, this groundbreaking project affirms the value of the Roma people by offering God’s Word in their heart language and cultural context for the first time in history. We’ll discuss how contextualization makes Scripture relatable, how collaboration and divine appointments made this project possible, and how Create Seeds continues to equip others to multiply similar resources for unreached children worldwide—all with the vision that God speaks every language and every culture matters to Him.
