Producer and Editor (Multi-Media)
Christian Media Ministry - Zambia
Salary/Range: TBD
Job Overview
Ministry Mission: To clearly and effectively communicate the biblical teachings on salvation, with the ultimate goal of seeing lives radically transformed through faith in Jesus Christ.
Ministry Vision: John 3:16 is one of the most widely recognised Bible verses throughout Zambia and Africa. However, many people lack a deep, transformative understanding of what it means to have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Our ministry aims to ensure that the biblical teachings on salvation are clearly communicated and understood. The ultimate goal is to see lives saved and radically transformed through faith in Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God did not send his Son Jesus into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him.
The ministry hopes to present the essential paradigm through which people must view the world – a prism that aligns with God’s mission statement as encapsulated in the profound words of John 3:16. The words of John 3:16 are not merely an option, but the fundamental perspective necessary for understanding God’s love and purpose for humanity.
