Outreach Media is a non-denominational Christian organisation that exists to "promote Jesus". Our hope is that the whole world will know Jesus as Lord and saviour. The most significant undertaking of Outreach Media to date is the work of Outreach Posters.
March 2010 Campaign
To support the March 2010 poster campaign, we are producing a DVD and running a seminar in Sydney in order to provide churches with a platform to raise the issue of pornography within congregations and the whole community.
Many struggle in this area and you can't be sure who they are. It may be retirees, it may be children as young as six or seven.
Join us on Wednesday 31st March from 7:30pm at;
St Anne's Ryde Auditorium
42 Church St (Cnr Gowrie Street)
Please book your church in early as there are limited places. To book, please email us at admin@outreachmedia.org.au and provide the numbers for your church. If you have any questions about the event, call Judith on (02) 8898 9320.
Derek Higgo (psychotherapist and counsellor) will speak about the effects of pornography on relationships.
As we spoke to therapists and those who've run information nights in local schools for parents, we discovered something important. People simply don't come to information nights on the issue. The reason is the enormous shame attached. Many people feel compromised because they've looked at even a little Internet pornography. Because sexuality is so core to our being, the shame is all the greater. Many people no doubt think that by attending, they're owning up to having a problem.
So those who we've spoken with suggest that when inviting people to the seminar or a viewing of the DVD, you strongly encourage the whole congregation to attend. This helps all those attending to feel safe and not embarrassed. The DVD we're producing will work with all members of the community. It will include a diagnostic tool to help people determine where they're at with their current behaviour as well as other resources that can be downloaded and printed.
How do I get the DVD?
Because of the importance of the issue, we are relying on donations to fund the production costs. We will send it to you for $10 (which covers our postage and handling). We're still finishing off the DVD and expect it to be ready for shipping on March 20. Please order the DVD now to help us know how many copies to print. You can order the DVD at our our Online Store
We partner with nearly 120 churches from over 12 denominational groups around Australia to produce and deliver thought provoking Christian posters on a monthly basis.
We aim to engage people each month with an insight into the Christian faith.
Outreach Posters have played a significant role in the lives of numerous people. Many will testify that it was a poster that was a catalyst to learn more about Jesus and the meaning of his death and resurrection.
Our posters have not gone unnoticed by the wider community. Over the years some campaigns have caught the attention of the media. In fact some of the more "controversial" posters have generated comment around the world.
We hope they provoke and challenge you to get to know the real Jesus.

Message: It can be forgiven
Bible verse: "If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ" (1 John 2:1)
On July 27, 1996, Ivan Milat was finally convicted of seven 'backpacker' murders committed in the Belanglo State Forest South of Sydney in NSW, Australia. To this day, despite damning evidence, he says he is innocent. He's been called Australia's worst 'serial killer'.
Like every country, Cambodia also has its killers. After the Vietnam war ended in 1975, Cambodia was ruled by the Khmer Rouge whose terrible leader, Pol Pot made war on his own people. Estimates vary, but at the very least 1 million Cambodians were killed for no reason other than being educated or perhaps wearing glasses or just being in the wrong place.
One of Pol Pot's senior henchmen was a man called 'Duch' or 'Kang Kek Iew'. You may have heard of him. His story made headlines around the world. After becoming friends with a Cambodian Christian pastor in 1996 he gave his life to Jesus Christ. He told that man: "I don't know if my brothers and sisters can forgive the sins I've committed against the people".
