Create One Missionary Story. We'll Turn It Into Everything.
Record a 90-second video, a voice memo, photos or a few notes. VineUpdates helps you shape it into a story, keeps sensitive details safe, and delivers it to every supporter the way they prefer.
Spend less time creating updates. Focus more on the ministry God has called you to.
How it works
Your supporters shouldn't need another newsletter.
Four steps
From Story Seeds to every supporter.
- 1.
Capture Story Seeds
Save small experiences in real time—a photo, short video, voice note, prayer, challenge, encounter, or quick thought. They stay private until you choose to use them.
- 2.
Grow Your Story
AI finds truthful themes in all eligible Story Seeds—or only the ones you pick—and helps shape them in your own words.
- 3.
Protect people
SafeStory flags names and places and lets you tap to blur faces — automatic for Under His Shadow.
- 4.
Share Your Story
One approved Story / Update becomes a Story Page, email, text and messaging versions—and you see who read and who prayed.

Rooted in John 15
Jesus is the Vine. VineUpdates helps ministry stories, prayer needs and answered prayer stay connected with the people walking alongside the work.
Why we chose the nameSafety
Private by design.
SafeStory
Flags names, faces, places and photo location data, and offers a safe version in one tap.
Under His Shadow
Invite-only profiles that never appear in search, with emergency lockdown.
No public feed
Supporters only see the people they're connected to. There's no Explore page.
Prayer
Prayer at the heart of every story.
Prayer needed
Every story can carry prayer points supporters can pray for right away.
People praying
See “24 people prayed for this request” — never likes, never vanity metrics.
Answered prayer
Mark a request answered and everyone who prayed hears the good news.
Mobile
Your ministry updates. In their pocket.
Built for everyone in the story.
For mission workers
Create once, reach everyone, stay safe.
For supporters
Stay close to the people you pray for and give to.
For organizations
Verify your workers and see engagement, without owning their accounts.
Co-laborers
Your partners aren't a line in a donor report.
“I save Story Seeds as they happen, so my monthly letter almost writes itself—and it still sounds like me.”
“My supporters finally feel like part of the work, not just names on a giving report.”
“The safety check catches names and places I'd have missed. I share more, and worry less.”
Sample quotes — to be replaced with real beta missionaries, with their permission, once beta launches.
