Meet Our Trainers

For over 26 years, AP Media directors Bill and Kim Snider have remained dedicated to the task of training nationals across the region to create culturally relevant multi-media presentations of the gospel. In fact, this year not only have we trained over 800 media missionaries, but we’ve also conducted our first Multiply Media Training Seminars in Myanmar, Indonesia, and the Middle East. This ministry is so blessed to have top-notch national trainers representing us in the field like JayR Manalo, Alena Palad, and Patrick Tan. Kim also actively utilizes nationals attending her Storytelling and Magazine Article classes as contributors for AP Media’s quarterly publications: MOMs and Men in Progress (MIP). Kim explains: “As nationals are empowered to share their stories, they build other families up to see the relevance of the message of Jesus in their lives.”
