WHY ARE PARTNERS JOINING?
Building off a 15 year legacy in film, in 2023 Dei Dox was re-envisioned, laying a foundation for our next phase of ministry:
Currently, we are taking faithful and open-handed steps towards a new type of missions organization (media missionaries) to help the Church find and share God’s stories in every corner of the globe.
Our ministry name is a combination of a few words in latin:
Dei = God
Dox(a) = glory
Dox is also short for Documentaries.
God’s glory, God’s stories.
We believe there’s a higher value in creating work that glorifies God.
WE HOLD TO an open-handed approach. We see God as the only source of our talent and every opportunity to use it. This means we choose to repent of and resist our own ego or selfish ambition in order to be used by God however He wants.
WE CREATE in the context of community, not industry. We believe God gives the gift of creativity to connect people to Himself and one another.
WE TRUST in God’s economy. We approach our work like missionaries have for centuries – God over money.
To help the Church reflect Christ and redeem culture.
A world where everyone sees and hears at least one story of God’s power and goodness. And, Lord willing, many more…
“Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.” (Romans 15:21 / Isaiah 52:15)
We see a path forward where the Church + Christian artists work together to know God and make God known. In fact, a healthy partnership between local churches and Christian artists is perhaps the greatest overlooked resource in the Church.
For the first time in history, the content they create, as co-laborers, can go out through media into every area of society – every nation, tribe, and tongue. Together we can be media missionaries.
Verses on remembering the work of the Lord:
(Emphasis added)
"When Paul had greeted them, he began to explain in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. When they heard this, they praised God."
(Acts 21:19-20)
"God, glorify Your name! Yes, Your name alone be glorified, not ours. For You are the one who loves us passionately, and You are faithful and true.
Why should the unbelievers mock us, saying, “Where is this God of yours?”
But we know our God rules from the heavens, and He takes delight in all that he does."
(Psalms 115:1-3)
"…there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel. And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals. And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods…"
(Judges 2:10b-12)
“My message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on the power of God."
(1 Corinthians 2:1-5)
"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; proclaim his deeds among the peoples. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell about all his wondrous works!
Boast in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wondrous works he has done…"
(Psalm 105, TPT)
