The Skies Still Declare Him!

Years ago David Lee, founding director of IMM wrote this:

“Two thousand years ago, shepherds and wise men looked to the heavens and followed a star to a manger in Bethlehem. There they found God’s promise to mankind. Today, all over the world, men continue to look to the heavens where satellites have been launched among the stars, giving us the channels through which to communicate that same promise.

“Satellite communications are now used in nearly every country of the world. These innovations make it possible for us to reach more people than any generation in history. A highly sophisticated means by which to communicate the simple Gospel.

“‘Up-link.’ ‘Down-link.’ These are the terms describing methods for sending television signals via satellite communications. IMM has developed one more method—one more term: ‘Cross-link.’

“You are the ‘cross-link!’ You can make it possible for us to cross oceans, to cross the Berlin Wall, to cross Muslim veils, and to cross the Bamboo and Iron Curtains, communicating the message of the cross.

“Today, an average family in the United States pays about $15 each month to link up with television entertainment programming. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful feeling to know that while you are watching your own television that you are helping use television to reach the world for Christ?”

David’s words delight us at IMM all these years later. The skies do show forth God’s glory! And interestingly enough - $15 is probably pretty close to a present day subscription for one streaming service! It’s a great idea to “match” what you are doing for media entertainment to share the good news of Jesus through the skies and into hearts. Christmas was just the beginning and God’s glory still shines!

God’s Word for Today:

“When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’” Luke 2:15

Pray with us:

  • Pray our partners will be bold to share the light in local connections.

  • Pray IMM continues to let people know about the good news that has happened, like the shepherds.

  • Pray you will see and reflect God’s glory in both ordinary and extraordinary ways.
