'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
