'Cross Talk' Media Ministry to be launched shortly!


KCCM is launching an online evangelism channel called 'Cross Talk' and is seeking help from its friends and well-wishers to support us, in making this a reality.
 



With 658 million internet users in 2022, India has the second highest number of Internet users in the world. 351 million of these are from rural areas in India. Since India has 22 official languages, most internet users prefer accessing the Internet in their own language. 

The 2001 Census in India recorded 30 languages which were spoken by more than a million native speakers and 122 languages, which were spoken by more than 10,000 people.
 
This presents a big challenge to digital evangelism, as we have to present the gospel to suit each region's culture and language. We hope to present the gospel in 3 of the official languages, focusing on the Children's ministry initially. John Gabriel's son-in-law is undergoing an online digital evangelism course conducted by Nomad Academy, a ministry initiative of Good News Productions International (GNPI), based in Joplin, Missouri. Other team members will also undergo training shortly.
 

The Media ministry called 'Cross Talk' will feature animated gospel cartoons, short films, Christian music, messages and interviews in local languages. In addition to social media platforms, KCCM is also looking to telecast its programs on a local Gospel TV channel, which reaches out to viewers in 130 countries.

We are currently renting equipment and space at a local recording studio and are looking to buy our own equipment & set up a recording studio in the KCCM campus. This is a big step for us as a ministry, as we are upgrading our evangelism efforts by adding digital media to reach millions of unreached people, in addition to our traditional methods.

We ask you, our friends and prayer partners to keep us in your prayers and support us financially, as we seek out new avenues to reach the gospel to the unreached. 




Our Immediate Needs:
Total Cost to set up the digital studio: $30,000 

Cost Breakup:
A. Setting up of a soundproof building for the studio: $10,000
B. Purchase of the equipment, software and staff salaries: $20,000

KCCM Youth Seminar


With the purpose of inculcating individual and group spiritual values among the younger population, an annual youth conference was conducted on 24th October 2022 at Christ Church, Pampady. The meeting was organized by the members of the Youth Executive Committee of Kerala Christ Church Mission. The annual conference was administered for the Adolescent and Youth population to develop faith-based relationships with the Lord and among themselves through discussions, worship, prayer, spiritual activities, and fellowship. More than 100 youths from different churches attended the conference and were pervaded and moved by the heavenly grace.

The one-day conference started off with prayers, praise and worship and a group discussion on the theme verse, Proverbs 23:26-“My Son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways” Entire participants were divided into 5 teams, they discussed and presented their observations and reflections on the given scripture. The discussion was conducted to root the young people in a biblical foundation and thereby share the importance of the gospel's truth to be passed down from generation to generation. A cultural event was organized after the discussion where youth from various churches were given the opportunity to exhibit their spiritual gifts and talents in singing, dancing, and speaking before others and to glorify the name of God. Activities and games were conducted in between to refresh and catalyze the active spirits of participants.

The resource person for the day was Mr. Philip K John, Trustee, Travancore Foundation, a senior care facility center in Kottayam. He delivered his short and highly motivating life lessons through narrations and songs which advanced the youth to see and feel the mightiness and Eternal love of Heavenly Father and His beloved Son Jesus Christ.  A quiz from the book of Mathew was also conducted to learn and understand more about the word of God. The youth conference was a real blessing in the lives of youth to uplift their spiritual values and ethics while living in this world.
