Exciting progress – and our next mission in Guatemala

Our next trip is to the mountains of Guatemala. We leave on April 30 to begin work on a video Bible story library for the Kanjobal people. Please begin praying for the travel, health, and safety of our team, as well as, our mission partners and the local people who will be acting in the videos.

There is a lot going on in the meantime.

We have recorded so many videos over the past 12 months that it has been hard to keep up on the editing side.

Editing the videos is a time-intensive process, requiring careful arrangement of each scene and camera angle to ensure the story flows seamlessly. Once the structure is in place, we enhance the visuals with special effects—bringing a computer-generated serpent to life for The Fall of Man, stirring up a stormy sea for Jesus Calms the Sea, or giving God a radiant glow when speaking to Abraham or Moses. When every visual element comes together, we complete the process by mixing the narration and music to create a powerful story.

Since welcoming James Kariuki to the team, our editing work has picked up speed. We have completed all of the videos for the Isaan people in Thailand. In the coming weeks, we will also finish editing the Swahili and Luo video libraries from Kenya.

When the last two libraries are complete, it will open the door to finish three more languages. That’s because we take the video portion of those stories and replace the narration with three other Kenyan languages including KSL, or Kenyan Sign Language.

Please know that even if your OneMessage.tv production teams are not overseas, there is still much to be done and much that is getting done.

Thank you for your prayers and support that makes all of the difference.
