Through God Pops Up, CT Media brings you stories from some of the world’s most dangerous locations. These stories feature people who are risking their lives to share the Good News. Although we have sought credible sources, for security reasons, we cannot cite those sources, show photos of subjects, or name names. In this series, we use animation to tell true narratives that encourage the global church, but we also seek to protect the people behind those narratives. CT Media created these videos as a discipleship tool for both kids and adults. Thank you for watching and sharing these stories.

If God leads, you can give a tax-deductible gift to any of these causes by giving through the National Christian Foundation (NCF). NCF will anonymously pass your gift to the cause you’ve chosen.

We find ourselves near the end of a painful year, with a dark winter ahead of us. CT’s December issue speaks to the fundamental truth we celebrate every Christmas: “On those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned” (Isaiah 9:2). God still loves the world. He is still God With Us. And he still lives and moves among his people to bring light and life, hope and healing. These are the stories of the global church at work in the age of the pandemic.
