Overview

Mission

We are a Christian ministry creating videos, books, and music to spread the gospel to the whole world. Our desire is to use the organization to raise money to help people hear about the final message of warning to the world. We are now doing mission trips to evangelize unreached groups in Asia and Africa.

What it reported doing in 2025

We have been working on Youtube, Rumble, Instagram, and TikTok videos to share our message. You can find our content at Lucent Media. We are cutting back on travel and focusing more on sharing the message via online social media platforms. We have recently launched an print magazine as well as created a channel for podcasts. We also have a substack that we are using to spread truth and our message.
