SPECIAL EDITION - 2015 20 YEARS OF MEDIA MINISTRY

In April 2015 it will be 20 years since I started in fulltime ministry and founded

the ministry Active for Jesus Media Mission. The heartbeat of the ministry was

and still is:

- My love for the Lord Jesus Christ and a deep appreciation for what He did

for me and mankind on Calvary

- An inner urgency for reaching people with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus

Christ and helping them to get to know Him so they may be saved too

- My love for people and the joy I have when interacting with them, talking,

helping and teaching them

- My passion for the media and many years of valuable experience in radio-

and television production and broadcasting

- A desire that the media will make a meaningful contribution towards

informing people about and educating them in Divine Truth that gives

certain hope, life and direction

For many years this was the core business of the ministry and cause for many

blessed, joyful and fruitful times in ministry. Many lives were touched and

changed, but as time went by the other aspects of being in ministry, as well as

involvement with and support of other ministries tended to swallow up more

time, effort and resources, to the point of losing focus of the core business and

purpose of the ministry. This then the reason for this document…back to basics.

Back to the heart and core business of the ministry, my calling, my

purpose…stepping back once again 100% inside God’s will, for 2015 and beyond!

ACTIVE PRODUCTIONS is the core business of Active for Jesus Media

Mission. It is here where the life-changing message of the Gospel of the

Lord Jesus Christ and the Truth of His Word is heard, researched, shaped,

developed, delivered and recorded as high-quality radio programmes.

Current programmes are: Voetstappe, Nuwe Hoop, Boekrak Bonus, Bonus

Books and various speciality programmes from time to time. New

programmes that are to be added during the run of 2015 are: Footsteps,

Tekkie-Trapper-Tiener and Community Focus/Gemeenskap Fokus.

WoomaNet Radio is the global platform of Active for Jesus

Media Mission for proclaiming the Gospel of the Lord Jesus

Christ and the Truth of His Word. All life-changing

Christian radio content produced by the ministry, as well as

content sourced from credible external producers like World

Mission Broadcast Africa, Focus on the Family, Radio Bible

Class, various churches and other ministries, is uploaded to

the Internet on a monthly basis. These programmes are available free of charge to Internet-users/listeners

in more than 80 countries via computers, portable- and mobile devices, as well as radio broadcasters via

Dropbox, by simply visiting the WoomaNet Radio website @ www.wooma.net. WoomaNet Radio also

forms the motivational basis for our association with Africa by Radio.

ACTIVE BROADCAST is the national focus and ministry of Active for

Jesus Media Mission. All life-changing Christian radio content produced by

the ministry are provided free of charge to radio broadcasters throughout

South Africa. Currently we have 9 participating broadcasters in 4

provinces. The aim for 2015 is to increase the number of broadcasters in

order to effectively cover all 9 of the provinces. Active Broadcast also

provides training and support to all participating broadcasters if and where

Romans 10:13-15 King James Version (KJV)

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in

whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how

shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written,

How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.

needed. Active Broadcast forms the motivational basis for our membership of and involvement in the

Association of Christian Media (ACM) of Southern Africa.

ACTIVE COMMUNITY is the ministry’s means of impacting

and making a difference in the community we are based in,

namely Wentworth Park, Krugersdorp, Mogale City.

HomeTown Radio and Footsteps Quarterly form the basis for

our media outreach into the community. Although HomeTown

Radio is currently only a dedicated playlist on WoomaNet Radio,

we are in the process of developing the HomeTown Radio

application (App) for mobile devices. This will ensure fast and

easy access for all in the community to important community-

specific radio content, effectively addressing community- and

social issues, as well as freely making available evangelical and

discipleship programmes and local church news and -sermons. The HomeTown Radio App should be

ready to launch towards the end of May / beginning June of this year.

Footsteps Quarterly is the ministry’s print communication to the community of Wentworth Park and

although it is physically delivered to each and every household in the community, Footsteps Quarterly is

also available in digital format on ISSUU via the WoomaNet Radio website and the HomeTown Radio

App (as of June 2015). The next issue of Footsteps Quarterly will be published and distributed towards the

end of March 2015, just prior to Easter. Follow-up publications will be in June, September and December

2015. The same pattern will be followed for 2016 and beyond. Active Community forms the motivational

basis for our membership of and active involvement and participation in Tower of Life (Shelter for the

Homeless and Destitute in the community) and Mogale4Christ.

ALL OVER THE WORLD

The above constitutes the total vision and mission of Active for Jesus Media Mission

for 2015 and beyond. Keeping in mind that Active for Jesus Media Mission is not an organisation but

the purpose, vision, mission and daily responsibility (labour) of one man, one webmaster and one co-

worker, gives a different perspective on the challenges this ministry faced over the last 20 years and will be

facing in the days to come. It also makes me stand in awe as I reflect on what the Lord has done in and

through this ministry in years past, but also stirs inner excitement for what the Lord is about to do in 2015

and beyond.
