The Modern Colporteur Carries a Camera
“Our publications can go to places where meetings cannot be held. In such places the faithful evangelistic canvasser takes the place of the living preacher… By the printed page the light reaches the isolated ones, who have no opportunity to hear the living preachers. This is most blessed missionary work.”
— Pacific Union Recorder, October 23, 1902
Reaching the cities digitally — one story at a time. Two YouTube channels carrying the gospel into homes, phones, and minds that will never walk into a church.
@ATimeLikeThisMinistries — Investigative. Cinematic. Faith-Driven.
This is not another sermon channel. A Time Like This Ministries on YouTube produces investigative, documentary-style videos on science, faith, and culture — all through a faith lens. Personal stories that engage the viewer, inform the mind, and point to truth. With plans to extend into animation and beyond, this channel is modern colporteuring — reaching people who would never walk into a church but will watch a compelling story on their phone.
@LoveAtHome77 — Faith, Family & Healthy Living
Practical health and family content for mothers, families, and anyone pursuing whole-person wellness. Cooking, natural remedies, pregnancy and birth, healthy living — all grounded in faith and designed to serve real families.
