Summary
Our Children and the World's Unreached Speak the Same Language.
Our children are bombarded by every form of secular media. From social media to video games, to TV on demand and the internet, every possible distraction is delivered up except for what they really need and long for - engaging and culturally relevant Christian media.
The unreached people groups of the world are mostly made up of those who cannot read or comprehend the printed page. They are starved for visual content that reveals God's truth. The most effective way to reach them is proven - engaging and culturally relevant Christian media.
From our families to the field, RevelationMedia is on the forefront of delivering engaging and culturally relevant animated films. Films that promote Biblical literacy, discipleship and world evangelism. Films that are ALWAYS free to the missionary and to those who support our work.

Purpose
RevelationMedia exists to bring people into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ through visual, audio, and print media that is easily and freely accessible in a language they can understand.
Mission statement
We aspire to live out the Great Commission by distributing Christian media that helps others know God and make Him known. We are committed to creating, promoting, and distributing quality Biblical content that promotes Biblical literacy, discipleship, and evangelism.
Statement of faith
We believe in the inerrancy of God's Word to us in the Holy Bible. We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God. We believe that "all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV).
We agree with the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy's Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy:
God, who is Himself Truth and speaks truth only, has inspired Holy Scripture in order thereby to reveal Himself to lost mankind through Jesus Christ as Creator and Lord, Redeemer and Judge. Holy Scripture is God's witness to Himself.
Holy Scripture, being God's own Word, written by men prepared and superintended by His Spirit, is of infallible divine authority in all matters upon which it touches: it is to be believed, as God's instruction, in all that it affirms; obeyed, as God's command, in all that it requires; embraced, as God's pledge, in all that it promises.
The Holy Spirit, Scripture's divine Author, both authenticates it to us by His inward witness and opens our minds to understand its meaning.
Being wholly and verbally God-given, Scripture is without error or fault in all its teaching, no less in what it states about God's acts in creation, about the events of world history, and about its own literary origins under God, than in its witness to God's saving grace in individual lives.
The authority of Scripture is inescapably impaired if this total divine inerrancy is in any way limited or disregarded, or made relative to a view of truth contrary to the Bible's own; and such lapses bring serious loss to both the individual and the Church.
We embrace the Apostles' Creed, which states:
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic* church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
We affirm:
The Uniqueness of Jesus Christ:
While religions and philosophies of the world are not without elements of truth, Jesus Christ alone is the full revelation of God. In and through the Gospel, Jesus judges and corrects all views and doctrines. All persons everywhere need to learn of Him, come to know and believe in Him, repent, and receive forgiveness and new life in Him, as there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
True Inclusivity:
In grateful response to Christ Jesus, in whom there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, we will extend the welcome of the Church to every person.
We covenant:
For Commitment:
To encourage individuals to make a personal commitment to Jesus Christ and live a holy life in the power of the Holy Spirit by keeping their faith in Jesus' redemptive work on the cross;
For Congregations:
To educate and provide resources for congregations which are the center of the Church's life and mission;
For Biblical Faith:
To strengthen, inform, connect and mobilize people of Biblical faith who will stand for Jesus amidst the challenges of contemporary culture and false teaching within the Church;
For Leadership:
To help form a new generation of Church leaders committed to upholding Biblical orthodoxy;
For Witness:
To uphold the Great Commission mandate to make disciples as the primary purpose of the Church;
For Missions:
To support mission workers, pastors, teachers, and parents through prayer and by providing resources to help them share Biblical truth with all people;
For One Another:
To build up the Body of Christ through faithful prayer, shared resources, and unyielding commitment to one another in pursuit of the Lord's work.
Our mission as Christians, according to Jesus' Great Commission, is to:
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." -Matthew 28:19-20a, ESV
In a fresh commitment to that mission, we join together in common confession of the Gospel and in a radical commitment to support one another.
