Joe is serving as the International Coordinator of International Media Services (IMS). He is involved in providing vision and leadership for media training, media development, innovation, and services to language programs throughout the world. All this is to broaden the impact of Bible translations. This can be done through media that is Biblically accurate, culturally acceptable, and owned by the local people. This also includes empowering nationals with skills necessary to increase the impact of Scriptures in languages that communicate best in each context. Donna is serving as an administrative assistant.

 

International Media Services exists to communicate the translated message of God's love in forms that language communities can understand and access. The Gospel can be communicated through audio recordings, dubbed videos, storytelling, animation, music, drama, and dance in the local styles. The expanding use of computers, netbooks, or mobile devices to access the Internet poses a very different challenge. Worldwide, for the 3.5 billion people who have Internet access, websites and mobile phone apps are critical features for encouraging the use of Scripture. Developing these media advances takes studios, training, equipment, and plenty of innovation. Would you consider joining their Wycliffe ministry partnership team?
