Encouraging people toward short-term missions

A media ministry is making waves across the internet.


International (MNN) -- Trans World Radio is makin' waves in the world of missions. Actually, it's a new website launch that takes a unique approach to recruiting the You-Tube generation. Why videos? TWR's Heather Johnson explains: "The videos that we have on there are kind of the way that we're explaining our mission. The younger generation, they don't read as much. They are very much a visual generation. They're very much charged up and taught by visual content." 'Making Waves' encourages people toward short-term missions and internships with the hopes some will move into full-time service. The website has already seen enthusiastic response, because it plays on strengths. "We wanted to just make it something that the people of the younger generation could just say, 'Hey, I want to get involved and I never thought that I could do it because I'm not into Bible translation. 'I don't to be a church planter' or 'I don't want to be a pioneer. I want to be an accountant or I want to be a journalist. I didn't know that I could be that and be a missionary.'"
