Nashville, Tennessee, (March 24, 2009) – Today, the Don Moen Company announced the
release of MediaShout Version 4, the leading media presentation software used in churches
around the world. The new version ensures that ministry presentations are easy to prepare by
volunteers and professionals alike, while delivering increased impact to audiences and
congregations.
Don Moen comments, “MediaShout is the most trusted name for pastors, worship leaders, youth
ministers and childrens’ leaders who are embracing the multimedia realities of 21st century
ministry. Our continuing commitment to our ministry partners is to take a great brand and make it even more powerful in facilitating life-changing ministry.”
Accompanying the release of Version 4 is a new MediaShout logo, a completely redesigned
website (www.mediashout.com), online classes through MediaShout University, and a new
campaign to communicate the new version’s increased ease of use and effectiveness,
Simply Create and Connect.
Paul Jackson, VP of Sales for MediaComplete, a Don Moen Company subsidiary, stated,
“Version 4 represents the biggest leap in product development since the initial release of
MediaShout Version 1 in 2000.” Kevin Weimer, President and CEO, added, “Since joining the
Moen Company in August of 2008 our team has listened intently to our customers and spent
lavishly to give them the features and functionality needed to support today’s ministries. We
sought to make the most powerful tool in the market also the most intuitive and easy to use. We
are very excited about the results of those efforts.”
Key components of the new release include a Stage Display feature that provides a unique
confidence monitor feed to be presented to the platform that is separate from the main audience
display. Version 4 supports a Video Jockey (VJ) mode enabling instant background media
changes behind all types of text including song lyrics and Bible passages. Additionally, the new
version provides a powerful solution for thousands of ministries which have built song display
libraries in PowerPointTM. Version 4 easily imports PowerPoint lyric libraries allowing them to be
greatly enhanced in the MediaShout environment.
Chris Long, Moen Company President and CEO, comments, “Version 4 is a great first step in the
Moen Company’s quest to raise the quality and increase usability of all our products. We are
relentlessly dedicated to delighting our 50,000 churches that use MediaShout now and the
thousands who will join us this next year. Also, planned for 2009 is our first Mac version which is
being developed to provide unprecedented value to ministries that prefer Apple products and the
Mac Operating System.”
Those upgrading from previous versions of MediaShout or purchasing for the first time will also
receive a free subscription to Group Magazine or Worship Leader Magazine, as well as special
offers from other Moen Company brands including a free introductory subscription to
www.worshipteam.com and a certificate for discounted purchases at www.worshipmusic.com.
The Don Moen Company was started in 2008 by platinum-selling recording artist, songwriter and
worship leader, Don Moen. Moen is past president of Integrity Music, the first worship leader with
a truly global following and is considered by many around the world to be the father of the modern worship movement.
