Why We Are Here
At Asia Pacific Media Ministries (APMedia), our mission is to multiply the message of Jesus through media, mentoring, and mobilization. From a humble beginning in a missionary’s living room to a dynamic, regional ministry, we have faithfully used culturally relevant media to reach hearts and equip the Church across the Asia Pacific. Our focus remains unwavering: to empower believers with the tools, training, and technology they need to communicate the gospel in today’s digital world. As we look to the future, we are committed to innovating with purpose, mentoring the next generation of digital missionaries, and multiplying His message—so that every person, in every nation, may know the unchanging hope of Christ.
History
Our Legacy Timeline - The Spark of a Vision (1980s)​
In the late 1980s, before smartphones or social media, God sparked a vision in missionaries Bill and Kim Snider—to use media to reach the unreached across Asia Pacific. Starting in their living room with just one staff member, their dream became reality in 1989 with the founding of Asia Pacific Media Ministries (APMedia), a pioneering media missions arm of Assemblies of God World Missions.
​
Growing a Ministry, Growing a Movement (1990s–2000s)
APMedia began with radio and basic video production, training broadcasters at Bible colleges and producing programs like Hope for You and Moments for Mothers. Radio ministry expanded across provinces in local dialects, while video dramas addressed real-life issues like addiction and family restoration. By 1993, APMedia launched the first Asian Institute of Media Ministries, empowering a generation of indigenous media leaders across the region.
​
Media in the Hands of the Church (2010s)
With digital doors opening, APMedia extended its reach. APMedia China launched a Christian resource site for Chinese believers. New digital tools like Digitracts, youth video series like Bakit List, and the Media and Ministry Forum (MMF) connected thousands across the region—equipping the Church to engage culture and reach the next generation online.
​
Multiplication and Digital Acceleration (2020s)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, AP Media became a lifeline to churches needing digital ministry support. From training to mentoring, we helped churches pivot online. The Limitless Conference launched in 2023, gathering creatives and leaders to expand digital missions. Our Likha Short Film Lab began raising up new gospel storytellers across Asia.
​
A New Chapter: His Message. Multiplied. (2025 and Beyond)
In April 2025, founders Bill and Kim Snider passed the baton to new leadership, Keith and Delsey Garner, marking a new era for APMedia. With fresh vision and deep roots, we remain committed to multiplying His message through media. The mission endures—using every tool available to reach every soul possible with the transforming hope of Christ.
