Social Media Video Project August Update  Dear Subscriber, I am pleased to share another update on the progress of the Social Media Video Project (SMVP). Your ongoing support has been instrumental in its progress, and we are thrilled to share some exciting early achievements. A few months ago, we (somewhat reluctantly, it must be said) joined TikTok in preparation for the launch of this project. TikTok is the largest short-form video platform on the web, and is a top choice for a significant proportion of younger ‘digital natives’, so it was important for us to have a presence there. However, since we were brand new to the platform, we weren’t expecting much action early on. And sure enough, after three weeks of releasing daily content, we had gained just 30 subscribers, and most of our TikTok videos were only getting a few hundred views each. So, we weren’t expecting what came next. About a week ago, two of our TikTok videos went viral in quick succession. In a few days, they garnered over two million views… each! In just over a week, our TikTok channel gained 17,000 new subscribers and the videos on the channel received a combined total of over 5 million views, over a quarter of a million ‘likes’, about 40,000 ‘favourites’/saves, 25,000 comments, and 20,000 shares! Praise God! Videos that ‘went viral’ on TikTok: (NB: The links below go to our YouTube channel.)  We are humbled and very thankful that this content is finding an audience amongst so many people—including many young people. Our other social media channels are also faring well. Viewership is significantly up—across all our platforms. On Facebook, the short-form videos have already accrued more than one million views in the month since we started posting them! On YouTube, one of the long-form interviews (below) quickly became the most watched video of all time on our YouTube channel! Why the Earth Can’t be Old! is now the most watched video on our YouTube channel! And the impact doesn’t stop at views alone. Thousands of people have subscribed to our various social media channels since we launched the project! This enables us to drip-feed creation-Gospel content into the lives of a growing number of people worldwide! The increase in those connecting to the message is a testament to the compelling, quality content that has been produced through your support. We have received many comments from people who have appreciated the videos. Here are just two:“Thank you all for making these wonderful videos, you guys seriously helped me get out of my atheism.”—@curitheye2540, YouTube “I’m absolutely loving these short clips you’re doing. They will certainly be having the desired effect on a range of people. Some get angry that their religion of evolution is being exposed for what it is… the biggest hoax in history.”—Chris P., FacebookSo, once again, I express my heartfelt gratitude, firstly to God for his blessing on this project, and to you, for being an integral part of this journey. Your ongoing prayerful support is very much appreciated and needed .Please pray: For the millions of people who have seen—and will see—these videos. Pray for prepared hearts, and that the many ‘seeds’ sown would bear fruit for God’s Kingdom. That the video content will continue to find and engage new audiences—and especially young people. That the Holy Spirit would guide our team as they prepare for the next round of filming (in the next month or so). Pray that the logistics would go smoothly, and for wisdom and good ideas in content-planning. For protection for the project, and for all involved. We are in a battle of worldviews—and ultimately a spiritual battle for people’s minds/hearts. For comment moderators. With the expanded reach of our videos, the need for comment moderation has grown in proportion. Please pray that we can rise to the challenge (and for God’s provision of more moderators). Pray that God would give our moderators the wisdom to know when to engage with people, and the grace to maintain a spirit of charity as they interact with those whose worldviews are being challenged. Thank you again for your support. Together, we are making an impact!With gratitude, Ross Peeters Managing Director Creation Ministries International (Australia)You’re receiving this email because you asked to have project updates View our Privacy Policy.
