Evangelism in the Digital Age: Media Case Studies Vol 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781469908304)

This is a series of case studies that will help novice and professional alike learn how to use all forms of media in the evangelism process. These case studies come from Africa, Asia and Latin America and most have discussion questions to help the reader grasp the key parts of these examples from radio, television/film, mobile/Internet media. Reviews: Dan Henrich is the leading international media strategist in the world today. He has done a great job of researching powerful stories from around the world and presenting them in the form of case studies that contain missions insights in the form of media ministry. There's a truism in training that "more is caught than taught." The insights in this compilation can be caught by any ministry that is oriented at effectively communicating the gospel. Although it's easy to view these case studies as just praise reports of God's activity, I would recommend this book as a collection of media strategies through which the Holy Spirit worked over stretches of time and can still bear fruit for your ministry, too. The global perspective Dan shares through these 28 case studies will bring cross-fertilization to media strategy planning to accelerate response to the gospel. Mark Snowden, media strategy trainer and author, Truth That Sticks To impact today's culture, we need the right information. Dan Henrich's "Evangelism in the Digital Age" is a outstanding collection of case studies that give us a guidebook to our potential audience. Media works when it connects with people, and this book is a great start. Phil Cooke, filmmaker, media consultant Author: "Jolt Get the Jump on a World That's Constantly Changing. Dan has done us a great service by compiling these media case studies. They span a wide range of areas - film and video, radio and audio, Internet and mobile technologies - all in the context of missions. He gives the case studies added value by providing discussion questions and lessons learned. An invaluable tool for those involved in media today as it details what others are doing in contexts different from our own and opens our eyes to new possibilities. - Frank Gray, International Program Consultant and leader of the New Media Task Group of FEBC. This book centers on dispatches from the field not dissertations from the classroom. This digital age offers great opportunities for church planting teams. Dan Henrich has drawn together current day projects to help others move beyond interesting theories to real outcomes. - DM, Team Leader, Global Communication Team International Mission Board, SBC As missions around the world venture into the realm of media, a peek into the efforts made by others in similar circumstances is a priceless tool. This collection of real life, firsthand accounts by those who are fighting the battle every day in the trenches is an idea whose time has come. From heartfelt failures to humbling success stories, each case study offers valuable lessons for the reader who is honestly looking for them. We who are in media for the sake of God's Kingdom ignore such a treasure at our own risk... or worse, at the peril of our ministries.
