Why MEDIA?
Hebrew 1:1 says that in the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways. Our God is great and brilliant Media Person who communicated His thoughts to all humanity and related to humanity through different people throughout the history from its origin. And God wants us to be His medium to express the inexpressible and His voice to the voiceless so that there could be real transformation.

Why US?
This is the age where our younger generation are consuming so much of digital content through various social media platforms. Their brain development process is almost controlled by the digital world and AI technologies and that actually is enslaving their thoughts process and resulting in behavioural problems in the family and in communities. Navigating their activities in digital social platform is very essential. We cannot ignore the fact that if they are not familiar with the digital and AI technologies, they would  become blunt and dull, however, navigating and controlling their misuse of it will lead them to astray from God and His purpose in life.
So, we prayerfully have come up with the mission to reflect God through ethical, good and entertaining content in social platforms so that they would shape their spiritual, emotional and mental growth.
