In 2009, I had the opportunity to travel to one of the more remote places on the earth, as well as one of the harder to spell – Kyrgyzstan.  What an experience!  I was there leading the combined Create International / School of Frontier Media team that was producing an evangelistic film and a Video People Profile for the Kyrgyz Muslims.

Departing staff member Nathan reflects upon his experiences with Create:

As I reflect back on the last 8 years in YWAM I have to say my School of Frontier Media trip to Turkey in 2007 was one of the most memorable experiences. There are many reasons for this:  the team dynamic we had made it so much fun and I got to learn a lot about documentary film making. But the special thing about that project was learning more about the goodness of God from a family of Iranian believers that were in the midst of seeking refuge in Turkey.

God Uses Coffee on a Day Off

Towards the end of 2009, an opportunity opened up for me to make a film highlighting the work of the Birth Attendant School during an outreach in India.  The Birth Attendant School is a training program of Youth With A Mission Perth who focus on reaching out to women and children in developing nations who have little or limited access to health care, especially related to childbirth. The film focused on a portion of the outreach where the school was assisting a hospital that drew pregnant mothers from the poorest of the poor in this mixed Hindu and Muslim community.
