GNPI has launched a “100 Lights” capital campaign to raise $1.45 million over the next two years with the vision of using “media and online curriculum to train more people around the world on how to use technology as their tools to attract and teach people . . . about Jesus,” president Mike Schrage announced via Facebook.
GNPI’s plan to establish 100 effective media teams producing relevant media for their communities, churches, and countries would “exponentially expand the footprint of GNPI,” he said.
To that end, GNPI plans to upgrade its media tools and is establishing an online training initiative/learning platform called Nomad Academy so train nationals in media production so they can create content with basic tools to make disciples in their city, nation, and region.
