Create International

Last updated on

The greatest injustice in the world today is that there are still people who have never heard of the gospel – even once.

Nearly 30% of the world’s population doesn’t have a church that can reach their own people. Some have never heard of the gospel even once. Those of us who have been entrusted with the gospel carry this mission to communicate the gospel seriously.

“Go into all the world and preach the Good News to all creation”

Jesus

Our Vision

Through different forms of media & arts, we are responding to Jesus’ call. Whether for unreached people groups in the most remote locations, or their ethnic/linguistic diaspora in cities, we are focused on creating tools for evangelism, church-planting, and mobilization. Join us in our mission to communicate the gospel through arts & media.

Our Teams

We are a multi-cultural, multi-lingual ministry with an international reach. Our heart is to see the Unreached People Groups around the world, in all nations, come to know Jesus in a relevant way, in their heart language and context. Within Chiang Mai, and nearby provinces, we actually have a number of ministry teams as part of our international family.

Create Labs

Create Labs is Create’s in-house research, development, and support network. It seeks to be a space of inventive creativity, a team dedicated to serving others, problem-solving, limit-testing, and radically new thought-processes. The goal would be that our ministry, at the international level, gains an avenue to purposefully research and develop new initiatives, tools, and resources, with the express expectation that even failure will ultimately lead to God’s Kingdom growing amongst the Unreached.

Currently, we have teams working on:

  • The creation of effective, contextualized games (mobile digital games as well as paper games for TTRPGs).
  • The formation of Discovery Bible Studies throughout the city with the goal of a Disciple-making Movement.
  • Narrative film creation with and for Thais specifically
  • Continued online training through Campfire

GCRC

The Global Communication and Resource Centre (GCRC) team is involved not only with our own productions; but we also oversee and assist with all of Create International’s film and animation projects. Much of what we do as a team is related to networking and equipping the Body of Christ for effective cross-cultural ministry to the world’s Unreached Peoples. We believe that the Lord has strategically placed us in this location. You can find out more here:

Create Seeds

Create Seeds exists to create culturally relevant storybooks, colouring books, animations and interactive apps that communicate the love of Jesus to children with little access to this good news.

We passionately believe that every child, especially those in unreached regions, deserves access to Kingdom storybooks and animations tailored to their cultural identities. These resources should feature characters who resemble them within familiar settings and employ language that resonates with their understanding. 

Our team’s mission is to see this need met by producing such resources with a high standard of excellence in contextualized Gospel storytelling and visual arts.

While our team largely works remotely, from all around the globe, our heart is top see a dedicated, in-person team situated in Chiang Mai. You can find out more here:

Open Arms

Our vision is to transform our local communities through the love of Christ, fostering global connections and promoting intercultural experiences that reflect God’s love and grace. Open Arms is a Create Community that is involved in everything from English teaching to DMM work, from community development programs to hosting DTS teams.

Get Involved

We need people to join our community who are passionate about seeing the Unreached reached. This includes artists of all stripes and church-planters, but also those with skills in accounting, maintenance, event coordination, and other management and organizational skills. It’s not just tasking, but a calling as well.
