Our Story

We are compelled to inspire, equip and propel people into their GREATEST call…to love, and build God’s Kingdom wherever they are. We welcome and invite you and your family to join us in this mission and movement to connect hearts and raise up a generation to walk in love and to go love others well!

Vision

“To create transformative media that turns hearts toward God and each other, equipping people to establish His Kingdom in every sphere of life.”

GLOW Media was born from the heart of The GLOW Mission, a nonprofit ministry established in 2017, dedicated to inspiring people everywhere to

Go Love Others Well

your family
your neighbor
your world

With its home base in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, The GLOW Mission actively serves domestically and internationally. Our mission began with a focus on Ukraine, compelled by a call to care physically and spiritually for orphans, widows, and the needy. Today, the ministry’s reach extends far beyond Ukraine, spreading God’s love and light to His children of all ages across multiple nations. Proceeds from GLOW Media directly benefit The GLOW Mission, helping fulfill the Great Commission through the Greatest Commandment: to love.

Located on 33 beautiful, wooded acres, Camp GLOW serves as the vibrant home base and heartbeat of The GLOW Mission. It is a thriving community of believers passionately dedicated to equipping generations of leaders who fully love Jesus and eagerly spread His love across the world. Camp GLOW provides an inviting atmosphere for retreats, camps, and creative co-op classes for homeschoolers, and it also serves as the launchpad for the global activities of The GLOW Mission. Our committed staff cultivates a culture where kids (of every age!) grow deeply in their love for God and learn to love others well.

Fearless

Creative Genius & Leader in Love

Hi there! I’m Fearless— and I live up to my name. I really will do anything God tells me to do (even the super hard stuff!). Wanna know my secret? I believe what the Bible says: “Perfect love casts out fear.” When you’re filled up with God’s love, fear has to go!

I’m also super creative. I love writing, drawing, dreaming up crazy fun ideas, and helping others discover what they’re made for! If you join us for Hide & Seek, I just know you’ll have the best time discovering how God speaks to YOU too. Trust me—it’s a wild, wonderful adventure!

I hang out with Brave and a bunch of other cool kids (you’ll meet them soon!), and we’re always cooking up something fun for our next quest.

And hey—If you ever want to talk, share an idea, or tell me what God’s showing you in your Secret Place, ask your parents to help you write me! I’d seriously love to hear from other kids who want to follow God and walk in love! And maybe you all will hear back from me too!

Brave

GLOW Media Creative Consultant & Friend

Hi! I’m Brave, and yes, that’s really what they call me—because following God is the most courageous adventure there is. Miss Dar says that kids have the best ideas (and she’s totally right) so she asked me and my best friend, Fearless, to help out with some cool projects at GLOW Media—like the Hide & Seek adventure!

Spending time with God in the Secret Place is my favorite thing. That’s where I learn the most amazing stuff—about who He is and who I am. I’ll show you how fun it can be to hear His voice and follow His lead!

When I’m not doing that, you could find me hanging out in Jasper chapters 19 or 20, running through the woods, building forts with my friends, or practicing my sword moves. (You’ll see what I mean!)

Hey, if you’re doing your own adventures with God, I’d love to hear about them! Ask your parents to help you write me a note and tell me what God’s been showing you in your Secret Place—I might even write you all back!
