Bethel Media Ministry
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19–20
Mission
The primary mission of Bethe Eritrea Church is to spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ. That said, no other moment in history has offered as many possible channels for that message to travel through into the hearts and lives of people everywhere. It is also true that Bethel church has used media technologies. Most of these efforts have centred on radio and television, which are still the perceived apex for any media ministry.
However, media consumption patterns have changed so much in recent times that it requires a shift in thinking away from the traditional media model to more of a hybrid media model, which gives increasingly more weight to emerging media platforms such as the Internet and mobile technologies.
YouTube is the leading video sharing Web site where Bethel church has its own “channel” to populate with content. More than 100 million people spend time on YouTube every month—a sizeable congregation by any estimation. Bethel church YouTube channel received a variety of comments on the content uploaded, not all of it positive; but be encouraged that the messages are being viewed by those who, many times, need to hear them most.
This ministry not only provides the technical support required for our worship (choir) , but also records various events, teachings and sermons, which are made available online and live Streaming on our You Tube and web site.
