• Filtering for the Responsive
• Media Process
What is Media?
• Telephones to Television• Even the Bible is in a medium:
Media are: “All the Means of Communication”
Most of us have Grown up Using Media:
Danger: We are Tempted to think we are Media Savvy!
Trust me I know what I am doing!
Much of what you need to know for the effective use of media can be learned from studying what other communication experts already know!
•Media Producers
•Advertisers•Marketers
Whoa! Marketing? What can I learn from marketing that applies to
Ministry?
Marketers persuade people about who, what, where, when and why to…
To Buy Things
To Believe!
Marketing?
Missionaries persuade people about who, what, where, when and why to…
Social Marketing• Behavior Oriented
not Product Oriented
• Life Changing Decisions– Health Decisions– Political Action– Environment
• Even Matters of Faith!
Marketing is Communication Strategy
We Are Only Persuading Men
as Paul Did, Master!
You Can’t Market God!
Marketing is Beneath the Dignity of the Message, my
Son!
You Can’t Market God!Ahh..the
Student has become the
Master!
Tonight. I walk the rice paper
without tearing it!
Where is God in All of This?
•Draws People •Reveals Himself•Convicts•Converts

What Happens when People Respond?
• People Pay a price of some kind.
• Emotional Attachment increases
• Need for information increases
• Growing Sense of loyalty
• Need Personalization
Stages of the Exchange-Relationship
•Getting Attention
=
•Inviting Response•Building Fellowship
Getting Attention
Understand “Reach” and
“Frequency”• Reach= The Number of People in the Target
Audience you reach with your message.• Frequency= The number to times you
reach them
Tip: Generally, you will need to reach your target audience more than once to communicate effectively with them.
Spread your media budget out to reach them with frequency.
Media Saturation
• 2500-3500 Advertising Attempts per day.
• Human mind has a filtering Reflex to block out “unwanted” communication
• “Wanted” communication is only allowed to break through the communication.
• “Wants” (Needs) Drive the Communication Process!
Invite Response
Filtering For the ResponsiveAbundant Sowing
Filtering Mechanisms
Precision Harvesting
A Filtering Model• The Goal of Filtering is to
identify the most promising prospects for your message.
• The Message is “Sown Widely”• As People Respond• Your team positions the
ministry to respond to the responsive with “precision harvesting”
• Process of filtering also Works in Advocacy

Mission Media planning can be like golf…
You have to “play it where it lays”
That means you will have to take into
account your team’s particular situation.
Questions to Ask for Knowing the People
• Who are these people really?
• Where and how do they live?
• What do they read, listen to, and watch?
• How can they be reached effectively?
The Value of Research
• Not “Unspiritual”• Moses sent out spies
(Numbers 13:1-2, 17-20)
• Jesus with Samaritan Woman (John 4)
• Paul (Acts 17, Col. 4:5)
The bottom line is your team will need to get know the people you want to reach
through some means…
Whatever you call it, it’s still Research
How do you Get Good Research?
• Define the Problem you want to understand.
• Plan the Research Limits• Select a sample• Collect Data• Analyze the information• Draw Conclusions and
report findings• Follow-up (Use the
information in your planning)
Ways to Do Research
• Site Visits• Existing
Research• Important
Information• Surveys• Focus Groups
Learn Their Needs
Negative Motives• Remove a Problem• Avoid a Problem• Mixture of Both• Dissatisfaction• Depletion
Needs are what motivate people to act!
Positive Motives• Gratify Senses• Intellectual
Stimulation• Social Approval
It’s hard to imagine anyone acting apart from some need.
What do People Want?• What Clearly benefits
them Most• What Doesn’t Clash
with Who they See themselves to be
• What is easy to Understand, or takes the least effort to learn
• What they Can try with the least Amount of Risk
• What Others Want!Phil. 2:13
Strong Needs
• Spiritual Survival• Personal
Orientation– As a Individual– In Reference to Place– In Reference to Time– Personal Circumstance– Social Adaptation
• Play• Physical Needs
Emotions are Strongly tied to
Needs and Decision-MakingThe part of the Brain that controls Emotions
is “hot-wired” to your body! Causing you to react to emotional Stimulation thousands of times faster than to rational stimulation.

Direction of Influence!
People Don’t Want
“More Information!”
•Facts Don’t Excite People•Unless they are the Facts they Want•People Connect More Emotionally
•Stories•Relationships•Feelings•Art & Music•News that relates to them
So Why Do We Load Down People with the Facts about Missions?And give the Facts of the Gospel?
Link Your Message to the Solution
Evaluate the People’s Needs
• What are the People’s Strongest Needs?
• How can your team help give them what they “want” without compromising the message?
• Can the message be conveyed with emotion?
• Who among the people could help influence others?
