Training

We want to help you develop your media and art skills for missions! In an age where films, animation, art & photography are loved and so popular, why not use it to shine God’s glory. Encounter God, be ‘ruined for the ordinary,’ and fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to make disciples among all nations — “every tribe and language and people,” says the Lord (Rev.5:9).

 

Media DTS (Discipleship Training School)

It’s a place of learning and applying biblical principles so that we can impact and influence the society and community around us. Staff and students from different backgrounds live together learning and helping each other to fulfill the purposes of God for their lives. During this MDTS, the students also learn some very basic media skills in the area of Photography and video filmmaking. As part of their curriculum, the students do short media projects during the Lecture Phase which they could use on the Outreach Phase. Check out the Media DTS in Jaipur, India.

 

Frontier Filmmaking Seminar (FFS)

The FFS is a five to six-week seminar designed to give you an experience of what it is like to be a production assistant on a cross-cultural film crew producing a dramatic, evangelistic film for an unreached mega (1 million or more) people group on the 20/20 Vision list. We cover basic training in a variety of filmmaking disciplines including photography, cinematography, scriptwriting, editing and cross-cultural methods to effectively communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ through video. We then make an actual movie together for three weeks with professional Create International staff and our local partners.

This onsite, mobile program is offered in English more than once a year in different locations around the world. The FFS is accredited with the University of the Nations and is an elective of the College of Communications and the college of Christian ministries.”
