[edit] Ministry

The vision of Create International is to communicate the message of Jesus Christ in ways that people can understand from their cultural and linguistic background, using tools that can be widely circulated. This includes the use of dramatic films, evangelistic artwork, websites, and indigenous music. Create International also produces documentary-style people group profiles as well as missionary training video's. As of 2007, Create International had produced films for over 35 different people groups.

[edit] Evangelistic Films

Create International's dramatic evangelistic films are unique due to the level of contextualization represented in each film. Each film is made in a culturally relevant setting whilst remaining faithful to the Bible. In this way they are to communicate the gospel in a way that can be clearly understood by the people group the film represents.

[edit] Video People Profiles

Create International's video people profiles are 10 to 20 minute documentaries that focus on a specific unreached people group, covering their history, socio-economics, demographics, as well as their religious customs and spiritual needs. These video people profiles have been used worldwide in [church] gatherings and amongst missionary organizations to facilitate informed prayer and missionary work amongst the peoples.

[edit] Church Planting Films

As part of their training video library, Create International has produced a number of films that give examples of contextual house gatherings that can be used to equip church planters. Models for starting family gatherings, inviting neighbourhood friends for prayer and study of the Word together, responding to seekers' questions, and raising up other leaders are illustrated in these films.
