60 one-minute animations give an overview of the books of the Bible. They are now available for translation into further languages — check out this new resource!
We are pleased to announce that the English edition of The Bible in One Hour has been completed. The 60 one-minute episodes are ready for MediaWorks partners to translate into their chosen language for final production by our animators.
MediaWorks animator, Nicky, coordinated a team of volunteer illustrators, generated AI artwork and created the videos. One volunteer illustrator and animator, Jaclyn, recently joined MediaWorks and contributed significantly to the initiative.
“The Bible in One Hour has been a remarkable project to be part of,” expressed Nicky. “We are deeply grateful for the time, effort and faith our volunteers invested in the project. The Bible in One Hour reflects a beautiful variety of artistic styles. Interestingly, this diversity visually mirrors the many authors God used to compose the Bible, enriching the overall presentation.”
OM leader Martin Turner, who had the vision for The Bible in One Hour, is already using the animations on his ministry’s YouTube channel in Belgium. The episodes are being included in their programme, which attracts around 12,000 views per week. The local team plans to show The Bible in One Hour in connection with their Bible translation project in the modern-day Dutch language spoken in Belgium.
“In a secularised country like Belgium, most people have never read the Bible. We wanted to give non-believers and new believers an introduction to the books [of the Bible] which gives them a thirst to read more,” Martin shared. “We want any church and any channel to be able to use them and easily re-narrate them in any language.”
