WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ORDINARY JOURNALISTS

Family Media is calling a new generation of Christian storytellers.

Not studio presenters.
Not headline chasers.
Not influencers.

We are looking for journalists who are willing to live the story.

🌍 THE ASSIGNMENT

You will be trained and then sent into Kenyan communities to:

  • Live with families who survive on one meal a day
  • Stay in villages, informal settlements, and remote areas
  • Walk, eat, work, and listen
  • Observe without interfering
  • Film with small, simple cameras
  • Capture life as it truly is

No scripts.
No staging.
No luxury.
Just truth, dignity, and humanity.

You may spend days or weeks living with people whose lives are very different from yours.

🎬 THIS IS NOT A JOB FOR EVERYONE

Do not apply if you are looking for:

  • Comfort
  • Fame
  • Fast content
  • Social media clout
  • Studio work
  • Easy assignments

This work requires:

  • Emotional strength
  • Humility
  • Patience
  • Cultural sensitivity
  • Deep respect for people
  • Strong Christian values

✝️ WHY WE ARE DOING THIS

Kenya is drowning in:

  • Misinformation
  • Noise
  • Influencer culture
  • Shallow storytelling

We believe real stories change hearts.

Jesus walked with people.
He listened before He spoke.
He entered their lives.

This is journalism inspired by that example.

🧭 WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You may be right for this if you are:

✔ A Christian with strong personal values
✔ Between 20–35 years (flexible)
✔ Trained or self-taught in journalism, media, or storytelling
✔ Comfortable filming with small cameras or phones
✔ Willing to live simply
✔ Curious about people, not just stories
✔ Able to listen more than you speak
✔ Ready to learn, grow, and be challenged

🎓 WHAT WE OFFER

  • Professional training in immersive journalism
  • Field mentorship and guidance
  • Travel and basic field support
  • National exposure on TV, radio, and digital platforms
  • The opportunity to tell stories that matter
  • A chance to serve God and the nation through truth
