Agape Media International -
It is well established that the membership of the Agape International Spiritual Center contains a wealth of creative and artistic talent, including many renowned musicians, filmmakers, producers, writers and artists of all types. Agapes Founder and Spiritual Director Michael Bernard Beckwith has long envisioned building a media company associated with the Agape Movement to create, promote and distribute the word, the vision, and the sound of Agape worldwide. That time is now.
To implement this vision, Michael asked several long-time Agape members to collaborate with him to develop and implement a business plan for the company.

Through music, movies, television, book publishing and online media, the work of Agape Media International (AMI) will parallel the mission of Agape; which is to joyfully inspire hope and faith, to reveal the truth, to facilitate self-awareness, to celebrate the ever-expanding good, to awaken our infinite potential, to love, to educate, to enrich and ultimately to transform lives through spiritual practice.
Agape Media International will be a for-profit enterprise with a non-profit mission. While always remaining consistent with its core values and intention, AMI will operate as a solid, well-managed business that transmits and sells the songs, messages and images of the Agape Movement worldwide in the form of products (CDs, DVDs, books, etc.) internet TV, podcasts, satellite broadcasts and other forms, emerging technologies and media.
Ultimately, AMI will serve two worthy, humanitarian causes: 1) to accelerate awareness of and connection to the Agape Movement on a worldwide basis through its inspirational media, music, films, broadcasts, publications and teachings; and 2) with international sales and good business practices, to generate the cash flow necessary to fund more creativity, build strong community and continually provide financial support to Agape International Spiritual Center, Agape Global Works and other spiritual and service organizations.
