Learn the Mission of the Visual Scripture Forum
- We Are Committed to Biblically Centric Visual Media
Over one billion videos are viewed daily on social media, with mobile devices now outnumbering the global population. Daily screen time averages over five hours, and an estimated 90% of people prefer visual over text-based learning.
The Forum will focus on visual media that promotes God’s Holy Word, including animated Bible texts, discipleship resources, and evangelical films.
2. We Are Committed to Serving the Deaf Communities
Approximately 98% of the 70 million global deaf population remains unreached, forming the world’s largest unreached people group. Leveraging emerging technologies like AI, the Forum will prioritize integrating sign language into animated and live-action videos, delivering innovative visual media solutions to serve this significantly underserved community.
3. We Are Committed to Church Collaboration
While parachurch organizations are invited to participate, the Forum will emphasize church involvement, recognizing its critical role in transforming individual faith into collective action, providing structure, accountability, and amplified impact unachievable by isolated efforts.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” —Hebrews 10:24–25, NIV
- We Are Committed to Distribution and Translation
Of the 7,159 languages worldwide (per SIL), only 351 (less than 5%) are taught in schools beyond primary grades (per UNESCO). To fulfill the Great Commission, the Forum will prioritize multimedia solutions beyond printed text to reach diverse linguistic communities.
All visual media provided through the Forum will be freely available for use, replication, and translation into the world’s languages.
- We Are Committed to Obtaining Funding
We believe sufficient funding exists to develop, distribute, and translate Biblically centered visual media. Donors, high-net-worth individuals, organizations, and foundations only need compelling opportunities to invest.
By uniting in faith through the Forum and highlighting these prospects, we are confident in securing the necessary resources to create impactful media for today’s visually oriented generation.
