MEM began almost 50 years ago, printing and distributing biblicallymotivated magazines across secular newsstands in a dozen Arab states. As times have evolved, we have continued to reach the region using the latest technologies – radio, video, the internet, animation, and social media. But with digital and video technology more accessible than ever before, almost anyone can set up a Facebook page, record a video, or start a YouTube channel. Our highly experienced teams have decades worth of media ministry experience in the region, but what really makes MEM’s work so distinctive?
Our specialist teams are a powerhouse of creativity, faith, and technical aptitude, always ready to respond to the Lord’s call. From skilled animators and videographers, to talented editors, producers, storytellers and scriptwriters; each individual brings their gifts to the table. We’re the only Christian animation team in the Arab World, with 13 in-house professional animators working for us. Further, we are the only organisation focusing on holistic media training: imparting not only our media expertise, but walking alongside new Christian content creators in the region, helping them to fully establish their own effective and sustainable media ministries for their communities.
We’re also always looking ahead, annexing the newest innovations to maximise our reach. We’re currently the only Christian team in the Middle East using a near realistic virtual character in our work. Because of our long-held credibility and regional connections, this character is acting as a digital influencer to bring more of Christ to the Arab world.
Production and training is only one side of our work; stay tuned for your next edition of MEMO for more on what makes our work happening on the ground stand out!
