About the Media Focus

Immerse yourself in a transformative journey of faith and artistic exploration with our unique Media Focus as part of the Discipleship Training School. The first part of the school is Lecture Phase where you will be learning more about the Lord and how to use your gifts to preach the Gospel. The second part is the Outreach Phase where you will take what you learned and use it in a full-stage, gospel production called Encounter. We travel across America and minister to people through Encounter as well as through evangelism on the streets. The last 2 weeks of outreach we go to another nation and use a street drama called, doors. 

This course is designed to empower you to grow your relationship with the Lord, use your skills for the kingdom of God, and enhance your discipleship through the form of media. Our goal is to teach you how to use your talents to preach the gospel and see people come into relationship with Jesus.

Phase 2: Outreach

Take Your Art Into The World.
