Video recording of personal testimonies of faith and faith journeys

As the technology, the tools, and platforms of video recording and internet applications become affordable and popular, the video recording of Christian witnesses become the best way of spreading the gospel because it works beyond the limit of time, space, and culture. 當影音記錄和網際網路的科技、工具、平台都變成許多人負擔的起而且普遍被接受之後，基督徒的見證影片已經成為最好的佈道媒介之一，因為超越時間、空間、和文化的界限了。
