Jericho Christian
Television is a strong supporter of Christian missions and the dedicated men and
women that serve in the mission field. Spring of 2002 marked the inauguration
of our program that we are still calling Mission Awareness.
Our first trip took our Mission Awareness Team
to a mountainous region of Eastern Honduras. Our team took a digital video/still
camera, laptop, GPS and a rented Nera WorldPhone satellite telephone into
those mountains. Suddenly, through the eyes of the television camera, the marvels
of satellite communications, and the Internet that team's church members were
transported closer to the mission field than they ever thought possible.
Take a moment and imagine the excitement that comes from tracking the daily location
of your church's missionary team as they travel village to village in some distant
country, viewing the pictures, reading the team's daily travel log and praying
for the team members. Perhaps you would like to trek through the mountains of
Guatemala with a doctor and his wife as they ministry to the physical and spiritual
needs of people that rarely receive medical care. Walk down dusty and bombed out
streets in Monrovia, Liberia as you follow young men dedicated to carrying the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to people that have only known war for over fourteen years.
Mission Awareness Teams now travel with the
latest technologies including internet enabled cellular telephones that can capture
both video/still photos, provide text messages, and can post directly to YouTube
from many parts of the world. Broadband satellite service allows the transmission
and posting of videos from virtually any place on the globe.
We pray
that the pictures and videos that visitors see on our web site will begin a stirring
in hearts for missions. Jesus said in the Book of Matthew, "The harvest
is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore,
to send out workers into his harvest field." (Matthew 10:37-38) Before
each of us knew Jesus, someone had to take the time to tell each of us.
