You know those conversations that people have with you about stuff you really could care less about? They corner you and start blabbing on about something that simply does not interest you. You think of every excuse to get out of the conversation, and when you finally do, you breathe a sigh of relief.
Did you know, that actually happens a lot in missions?
One massive aspect of the cross cultural missionary venture is relevant contextualized media and conversation about what truly impacts and tugs on the heart strings of the listener. Explaining the Gospel to people who hold another worldview is never easy. If we are to be true cross-cultural communicators, we must endeavor to understand how the Gospel is applicable to other cultures.

That’s why I love what YWAM Create International in Chiang Mai, Thailand is doing, creating contextualized media for frontier people groups.

“By creating quality missions media, we are not competing with other great Christian resources geared toward unreached peoples. We seek only to enhance the opportunity for the least reached to hear the name of Jesus!” – Penny, Create International
The content of the gospel of Jesus Christ is timeless, but the way we communicate the gospel requires a deep reset.
