TOP CHRISTIAN MINISTRY VIDEOS OF 2025

This type of video gives supporters a clear vision of your mission’s purpose and impact, perfect for fundraising events, websites, and first impressions that move people to action. Fun fact: Most nonprofits see an increase in donations by up to 48% with a powerful big-picture story (NPSource, 2023).

About Ashley:
In 1995 I started a ministry at my high school in order to reach my friends with the Gospel and in 1999, I started to make videos. In 2001 I graduated from a bible school with a communications/film degree. When I made a video in 2010 about a missionary in the Philippines and then seeing the impact the video made, I knew I was being called to something great; sharing the stories of what God is doing all over the world. Today I have made 1000’s of ministry videos helping hundreds of ministry partners worldwide…
