God’s Diplomats: The Mission

Go into all the world and proclaim the Good News to the whole creation.

Mark 16:15 (NRSV)

Actors, models, and talent for Christ: God sends you into a foreign kingdom on a unique missionary outreach:

To rise and shine in media… for Him!

He gave you lovely talents you now mold into golden hooks that draw eager fans. That’s why Jesus calls you ‘Fishers of men’ (Matthew 4:19)!

But what’s the sweet bait on your shiny hooks? What makes fans cheers, especially for you? You’re offering something different… than anything they’ve seen or heard before.

Yes, your on-stage act attracts attention, but HOW YOU ACT OFF-STAGE matters far more. Funny thing: It’s a holy bait and switch, except the biggest winners are your fans.

WARNING! Actors, models, and talent for Christ: Don’t be deceived: Hollywood isn’t home. Your ‘Citizenship is in Heaven’ (Philippians 3:20). The ‘Prince of the power of the air’ (Ephesians 2:2) may run the field, but he doesn’t own it.

All fields are God’s fields, and He’s your BIG Boss. So…

  • Learn the ways and means of entertainment.

  • At the same time, embrace God’s Word firmly.

  • You CAN rise and shine in foreign cultures,

  • Just like Joseph, Daniel, and Esther, but…

  • You have Jesus, Who embodied the job,

  • And took the Lion’s share of the mission…

  • To reconcile earth’s people to God!
