Ministry Works — Films for the church and for mission
Films I made
along the way.2011 — 2026 Church · Gospel · Mission · Testimony
These are films I have been given the chance to make for the church and for mission since I met the church at 18. I have arranged them in the order of my walk, so you can see which season each was made in. How I have walked is written inMinistry.
The more chances I was given to make films, the more I realized how great a gift I had been given.

Church media
After I was baptized, I was given the chance to make films for weekly worship, conferences, camps and anniversaries: 150–200 a year. Film, photography, streaming, lighting: I learned it all here.

Mission organizations
Kansai Bible Institute (KBI); Antioch Mission, which has sent missionaries to about 30 countries since 1977; and sports ministry. Since spring 2024, I have been formally involved with Antioch Mission in the area of media. I make each film praying, “May this film truly get through, and may prayers gather.”
