Stephen Coats, filmaker and director of Sabeel Media, a non-profit 501 (c) (3) media company based in Dearborn explained the background of the BIG Dreams event: “One of those BIG Dreams is to produce a series of short videos covering the scope of trauma healing issues for those in war torn countries who have experienced trauma and upheaval. This would be coupled with educational materials to be used by relief workers who will use the materials to minister in practical ways for those in need. These videos and supporting materials will be produced in the native languages of those in need. Another BIG Dream is to increase our capacity and engagement in teaching and training visual media storytellers from around the globe so that they may become effective, powerful broadcasters of life-giving messages in diverse languages! And yet another BIG Dream is to greatly expand our “Intersection of Faith and Culture” series, including the addition of a television program and educational/training curriculum – a concept which will bring viewers to create those Intersections of Faith and Culture in their own lives and communities, setting the stage for generations of healing and bridge building relationships. Many other visionary BIG Dreams are on our hearts and minds.”
