Reflecting on the mission of God helps communicators to shift our interest from only activities and products to telling the story of God’s mission in our day in a way that inspires the Church, God’s chosen partner in missions, to be involved.
Missio Nexus has invited me to coordinate two upcoming webinars aimed at growing the knowledge and skills of mission agency staff engaged in communications and marketing. These are free to anyone that is a Missio Nexus member or part of a Missio Nexus member organization. The first is on March 23 and the second is on April 6.
The core of any good communication efforts is thinking about your audience. The world has changed. Communicators today have the privilege and responsibility to communicate to a highly globalized and therefore very complex audience but also, with increased access to the internet, to reach a very wide audience within a very short time in every part of the world – from the most largest most modernized cities to the most reserved and secluded corners of the world.
Technical expertise in media production and clear messaging is fundamental to successful external communication. However, this success will not stand if an organisation’s internal culture is not aligned. Messages both internally and externally must be synchronized and consistent.
The first guest presented webinar for missions communicators is now available here and on the le Motif YouTube channel. This 30 minute webinar was presented by Florence Wamae on “A Diverse Audience in a Changing World.”
The content from May 2020’s webinar and July 2020’s e-course is now in an e-book! If you are a part of a ministry network and want to learn how you can more effectively share the story of your network and its cause, this e-book will be a valuable tool for you.
I have been invited to do a webinar for a large ministry network which includes many media professionals. This will take place on Thursday, 29 October 2020 at 10 AM and 8PM (EDT/GMT -4).
A couple of months ago I did a workshop-styled webinar through visionSynergy called Telling Your Network Story. I have taken what I developed for the webinar and created a free e-course on the same topic. The course will run from 20 July to 21 August 2020.
A growing collection of downloadable resources is available on LeMotif’s shop, and the price is reduced to just 95 cents through 15 January 2020.
“I know how you can tell this story,” I said to a colleague with a smile. “Someone did something that made a positive change among some group of people in some country, and it’s so amazing everyone needs to know about it!”
