Our Story
Logosdor began in 1995 with a vision to take the good news of Jesus to all the children of the world, using creative media. More than 25 years later, that vision hasn’t changed. But God has kept us on our toes as He has led us into places and partnerships we could never have foreseen.
We started by designing creative tools for sharing the Gospel: Oasis, one of the first multimedia Sunday School suite of resources. These days we hear pastors say, “I used Oasis when I was just starting out in my ministry,” or parents, “I remember Oasis from when I was at Sunday School!”
In 1997 we were chosen to create and direct two large-scale (stadium-sized) global stage presentations for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. For the next few years we performed in front of over a million children in the USA, Mexico, Romania, Ukraine, Nicaragua, India, South Africa, Peru and Australia.
Our show, More Than Gold, created for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, reached a huge audience, performed by 70 teams. That opportunity led to a meeting with 20 people from the ‘sport movement’, who wanted to reach kids through a sports event, featuring More Than Gold in Arabic. It’s one thing to get one event going. Someone asked, “How will we serve this outreach when it is happening in 10,000 cities all at once?” Logosdor has been involved in multiplying ministry ever since.
Based in Sydney, Australia, Logosdor is small, but has been involved in some very big things God is doing. Strategic partnering and collaboration is at the heart of our work.
As a result:
-
We have served the development of other children, youth, family and adult ministry strategies.
-
We have developed and serve a huge online resource library that ANYONE can access.
-
We helped to establish a global movement that focuses solely on ministry with and for children.
We believe that God’s Kingdom is an upside down kingdom and we strive to live and work accordingly. Like all creative thinkers, we regularly ask, “What if…?”. But we have been really blessed by asking, “Why not?”
-
Why not give everything away for free?
We believe our creativity and resources belong to God. Why hold on to them?
-
Why not seek to reach the world's 2.2 billion children?
We are a small agency in the suburbs of Sydney but God has so far taken our offerings into 95% of the world’s countries and many of the hardest-to-reach places we know.
-
Why not serve and build up the creativity of others?
We don’t understand every place in the world but, together, God’s people do. We grow and serve local leaders, churches and organisations instead of growing our own.
-
Why not do almost everything anonymously?
We exist to see Jesus known. We don’t need people to know who we are.
-
Why not release everything free of copyright?
We don’t see copyright mentioned in the Bible, and we find that giving freely multiples sharing and generosity.
