Good News Productions International (GNPI) โ Organization Profile
Good News Productions International (GNPI) is a Christian media missions organization that focuses on strategic evangelism through culturally relevant media. Based in Joplin, Missouri, GNPI works through a network of local media teams serving across multiple regions worldwide, with some locations not publicly listed due to security concerns. Rather than exporting a single style of content, GNPI emphasizes locally led productionโteams create in their own languages and cultural contexts so the message of Jesus is communicated clearly and meaningfully.
GNPI describes its work simply as creating media and sharing Jesus. Across its global network, teams use a range of formatsโvideo, audio, social media content, broadcast programming, and printโdesigned for specific audiences and people groups. GNPIโs โProjectsโ showcase media initiatives across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, reflecting how the organization adapts strategy and storytelling to fit local realities while maintaining a consistent gospel focus.
A distinctive part of GNPIโs model is that the ministry is carried by nationals and long-term local partners. GNPI notes that its โfamilyโ has grown to include more than 25 teams in 17 countries, creating media in more than 100 languages. GNPI also reports recent network growth and highlights how teams can multiply impact by sharing content through the channels people already useโespecially mobile-first and social platforms.
GNPI also leads Mission15, a global initiative aiming at designing and delivering one billion gospel invitations by the end of 2030 through social media, radio, television, and print. Mission15 is presented as a collaborative movement involving churches, partner organizations, and individuals, with an emphasis on prayer as a foundation. Practically, Mission15 centers on shareable invitations and media campaigns that can be adapted and deployed by teams in multiple countries and languages.
Training and multiplication are another key part of GNPIโs strategy. Through Project Nomad, GNPI describes a pathway that includes in-person training, an online academy (Nomad Academy), and an expanding network of Nomad teams. This reflects GNPIโs commitment not only to producing media, but also to equipping grassroots communicators and disciple-makers who can sustain ongoing outreach in their own contexts.
For those who want to engage, GNPI invites supporters to pray, give, and share. Individuals and churches can subscribe to updates and prayer resources, support specific team projects, contribute to Mission15, or explore legacy giving. GNPI also provides stories and reports that connect supporters to what teams are producing and how media is being used to invite people toward Jesus and to strengthen local disciple-making efforts.
