  • Episode 266: GodNetworkNews Epi#266 - Fulani Transformation Through an Old Man's Faith
    Jul 7 2025

    In this episode of the God Network News podcast we recount the story of Baba Morando, an elderly Fulani man in Niger, whose recovery from serious illness after receiving help and prayer from a missionary named Ali led him to declare faith in Jesus. This declaration inspired his entire family of over a hundred people to also embrace this faith and start a church in their village. The episode highlights how this singular transformation led to eight neighboring Fulani settlements also requesting churches, illustrating a spiritual awakening spreading through families and communities. It also discusses the role of partnerships, networks, resources like audio Bibles, and indigenous leadership in furthering this movement among the Fulani people.

    Jun 30 2025

    This podcast episode from God Network News discusses the rapid growth of Christianity in Myanmar, highlighting how a local ministry has expanded significantly, particularly among individuals with Buddhist and Muslim backgrounds. Key factors in this expansion include a strategic use of media, such as docudramas and audio Bibles in local languages, to make scripture accessible, especially for low-literacy communities. The episode also emphasizes powerful acts of reconciliation between historically opposed groups as a driving force behind conversions. Furthermore, the ministry is actively involved in Bible translation efforts for numerous languages, empowering communities by providing them with access to scripture in their mother tongue.

  • Episode 264: GodNetworkNews Epi#264 - The Banjara Awakening: A Digital Transformation
    Jun 23 2025

    This episode recounts the remarkable story of the Banjara people, an unreached Hindu community in India, and how a culturally tailored film titled "Transformation" over fifteen years ago sparked an unforeseen Christian movement. Initially, the film, created with local actors and cultural advisors, led to 10,000 conversions and 500 new churches within five years. However, the movement drastically expanded when an actor uploaded the film to YouTube, leading to millions of views and an estimated 2 million believers, with 10,000 Banjara church planters now spreading the message across India and to other unreached groups, demonstrating the power of culturally relevant media and unpredictable digital reach.

  • Episode 263: GodNetworkNews - Epi#263 - Isaan Echoes: The Prodigal Son in Thailand
    Jun 16 2025

    This podcast episode discusses the significant impact of culturally relevant storytelling, specifically focusing on the Isaan people in Thailand and their reception of the biblical parable of the prodigal son. It highlights how Create International adapted the story using local language, actors, and imagery, linking it to a pre-existing Isan folk tale about a son's remorse, thereby creating a deep connection with the audience. This contextualized approach led to widespread engagement through various distribution methods, including physical media and social platforms, sparking a movement of mass baptisms among the predominantly Buddhist Isan population. The podcast emphasizes the power of cultural contextualization in making a message deeply personal and resonant, fostering a self-sustaining cycle of cultural expression within the community.

  • Episode 262: GodNetworkNews - Epi 262 - Smartphone Filmmaking in Malawi pt2
    Jun 9 2025

    In this episode, we dive into the story of Smartphone Filmmaking in Malawi—These sources, presented as episodes of the podcast "God Network News," provide an overview of a unique project in Malawi that utilizes smartphones for filmmaking to share the gospel. The project challenges traditional filmmaking assumptions by training individuals in remote villages with their existing phones and minimal equipment. It emphasizes adapting professional techniques to mobile capabilities, using external lenses and microphones for enhanced quality, and employing stabilizers for smoother shots. A key element is the creation of an offline sharing app, which addresses distribution challenges in areas with limited internet access and fosters community engagement through the sharing of culturally relevant stories like Fatu's adaptation of the prodigal son. The project embodies the concept of "new fire," igniting the potential of readily available tools for creative expression and empowering local storytellers to produce authentic and impactful films.
