This year marks 40 years since we embarked on our mission to use visual media to communicate the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ. We did not realise then just how far this mission would take us – all over the world to work with an amazing variety of wonderful Christian ministries. We don’t get much feedback from what we do but we trust God that He is using it for His purposes and we have never wavered in what we believe was a divine calling.
We’ve seen many changes in technology during that time. When we started, everything was recorded onto videotapes and people obtained copies. In the late 90’s DVDs began to replace videos and we began to use them in the early 2000’s. When YouTube was introduced we began our own channel PDTMEDIA – YouTube in 2013. There are currently 269 videos on the channel with 658 subscribers and no doubt many more viewers.
Our internet outreach includes Embassy Bible College – Online Bible Studying and just this week we received a message through the website saying “Thank you for uploading those wonderful videos and the vision to keep them online for the use of others”. We are amazed and grateful that God has sustained this ministry for 40 years and still uses it for the extension of His Kingdom and His glory.
Television can be used for good or for evil – we see it as a wonderful tool which we can use for good, both to communicate the Good News and to encourage the church across the world in their faith. We thank you for any part you have played in facilitating this and invite you to celebrate our 40th anniversary with us!
