Speaking further on the formation of Rhema Planters Media Inc, the Founder said that “Rhema Planters Media Inc was born out of an overtime understanding that ‘Acting out God’s Word’ has a lasting impact on target audience. Having the WORD preached in a visual form creates a mental impact that last a test of time than pulpit preaching. The vision is attested to by the reminiscence and evergreen memories of “ Stage and Television dramas” that we watched while growing up. Ironically, only a few people could remember the last sermon heard.
“We are the PLANTERS that sow the ‘RHEMA’; which is the word of God that needs to be PLANTED in the heart of MEN and allowed to germinate with the help of the Holy Spirit. However, this understanding establishes the fact that planting the ‘WORD’ is not all that there is to it but making sure that it comes alive. So the effectiveness of this vision gave birth to our guiding Vision.
“At the conception of RPMI, the professionalism embedded in our works have gradually attracted the attention and encouragements of other aspects of the media which is not limited to Christian film production but documentaries, jingles, promos especially advertising and commercials.
