RICHMOND, Va. (BP)–The International Mission Board has joined the world of podcasting with the launch of its “podTask,” taking students on missions adventures around the world.
With its weekly updates on iTunes and thetask.org, the podTask is full of information for students to get involved with international missions by hearing about what others are doing around the world in proclaiming Jesus’ name.
Ricky Gibson, producer of the podTask, said the IMB’s student mobilization team aims “to stay on the cutting edge –- as much as a [nonprofit] can with limited budget, people and manpower –- and offer our audience a way of getting international student missions stories.
Students need to hear from other people their age about their experiences as God uses them, Gibson said, noting that podTask will seek to convey the message that God uses everyone, no matter what age, to fulfill the Great Commission.
“We [want] to provide … videos, stories and music for students to download and watch to encourage them that God is moving around the world, and He’s using students to reach the world,” said Felicity Watson, host of the podTask.
“We have the people if they will commit. We have the money if Christians will give. And we have a big God whose plan is for all people groups to worship Him,” Watson said. “All of the ingredients are there and we want students to be motivated through the podTask to own their destiny to finish the Great Commission.”
