About   

WHAT

A media center positioned to support the information technology needs of evangelism for the continent of Asia, particularly in the 10/40 Window, using digital media

WHY

• Digital media in all of its forms is proven to be the most efficient way to reach the masses of people who do not have access to traditional means of delivering the Gospel.
• Millions of towns and villages (in Thailand for instance) have no Christian presence or influence

THE CHALLENGES

1. Geographic isolation or distance
2. Language barriers
3. Illiteracy and lack of resources
4. Lack of access to the Gospel or contact with those who may deliver it
5. Lack of interest in reading literature or attending Christian religious services
6. Lack of television programming and other media resources in the languages and cultures of the people
7. Prejudice to Christians
8. Socio-political barriers to obtaining access to the Gospel
9. Cultural and traditional barriers
10. Lack of support for foreign missions
11. Competition with secular media
12. Lack of a training hub for media evangelism

THE OPPORTUNITY

The All Asia Studio plays a key role in fulfilling the Great Commission in the Continent of Asia

HOW WE ARE GOING TO REACH THE BILLIONS IN ASIA

Development, production, logistics, and distribution of media evangelism content in the languages and context of the people living in Asia, as fast and as wide as possible. Satellite broadcasting seems to be the premier way to broadcast the Gospel over the 10/40 window from one launching pad to a vast audience, and into the millions of towns and villages spread out across the continent of Asia.

THE TOOLS FOR DISTRIBUTION

• Mass-distribution of the Gospel through the following avenues:
• DVD’s hand-delivered by Bible Workers (the “ground forces”)
• Cable television via local markets (support of the “ground forces”)
• Local television channels (support of the “ground forces”)
• Optional satellite broadcasting via the ABS1 Satellite with a footprint over much of the 10/40 window (www.absatellite.net)
• Optional satellite broadcasting via HCBN Indonesia with a footprint over Thailand (www.hcbn-indonesia.org)
• Other means as God opens the doors of opportunity

THE STRATEGY

A regional media center provides an anchor for the effective delivery of the Gospel

THE GOALS

With the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, to develop and produce media in the languages of Asia with the wonderful message of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that they might be prepared for the Earth’s final events and to stand before Christ at His Second Coming.

• Short Term Goals
  1. DVD’s
     To produce Christian DVD’s and thereby create a DVD Database/Library which will serve the greater population of Asia. We wish to make all our DVD’s available free of charge, believing that Christ will provide the means in order to sustain the studio and its production needs. We believe that the only reason for copyrighting the content of our materials would be to stop any person(s) or organization from using any of our materials for their own financial gain, therefore we prohibit any sale of any of our materials. However we do encourage people/organizations to make use of our library and web site where this material will be made freely available for download or reproduction, provided such material is not re-sold.
  2. Written Material
     To produce written material freely, so as to make it available for everyone. In order to do this we realize that there is a desperate need for us to have our own printing press in Thailand. This will noticeably reduce the cost of production, and enable a widespread distribution of religious written material. We will offer all such printed material, available freely for download on our web site.
• Medium Term Goals
  1. To provide “live-stream” content of all our DVD’s and other works through our web site.
  2. To establish a local or satellite uplink station whereby all our video footage along with footage from other sources, may be made available free of charge for our viewers.
• Long Term Goal
  • To have our own Television Channel in Thailand, whereby we can broadcast the gospel 24/7.
