...I know there are many missionaries and church groups who want to promote their ministry, but are unable to afford to put a video program together. They even have video footage but editing costs are too expensive. So I want to offer my digital editing suite to any missionary or ministry related project for only $25 per hour! ...This fee would include graphics and Titling. My computerized equipment edits SVHS and Hi-8 with no loss of quality because the editing is done digitally! ...I would also be happy to offer my services as a consultant, producer, director, writer, or videographer - also at reasonable prices, but not as low as the editing suite! Because I'm a missions pastor, I have a full program at my church, but I believe video is a vital tool for getting the word out, so I'd be delighted to help people do that. I've been in the video business for over 30 years...

TRAGEDY IN SUDAN
Sudan has one of the highest populations of priority unreached peoples of all the countries in the world. This new video from VOM has stunning footage on the Islamic regime that is persecuting the Christians in Sudan, as well as a heart-rending view into the lives of the Christians who have been devastated. The tag at the end of the video about the Christian relief network that VOM is assisting was not enough to erase the horror in my mind after I watched it. There are some violent images on this video which require discretion in choosing your audience, but I believe that it should be shown to our churches to wake them up to the reality of what's going on in Sudan. $15 (VOM has a policy of not charging for the video if you show it to a group of people.) plus $3 About 10 minutes long.
BREAKING THE SILENCE-PERSECUTED CHURCH I just saw a copy of this half-hour video produced by WEF for the Sept'96 Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. It is NOT dated, so you can still order copies to develop awareness within your circle of influence. The video primarily consists of footage of well-known American Christian leaders giving brief calls to action on behalf of the persecuted church. The footage on persecution is minimal and not very intense. The video strongly encourages prayer and political activism as responses. One part seemed corny when Max Lucado, did a video interview with Michael Horowitz, and Josh McDowell, but overall the quality is high. Contact 708-668-0440 for a copy.
Window of Opportunity is a great new website that focuses on the 10/40 Window (see above). Its purpose is threefold: (1) to mobilise Christians to pursue God's heart for missions; (2) to equip mission-minded Christians to focus on unreached people groups; and (3) to establish links with Christians or other mission agencies. The folks behind the website have an office at the US Centre for World Mission in Pasadena. This is a very attractive site that is well worth checking out.
GET THE WORLD FACTBOOK 2000 ON CD -- The same tool described above has the entire CIA "World Factbook" built into the fabric of the CD. This tool makes available to you over 5000 pages of the incredibly detailed statistics on every nation of the world. Yes, you can get this info. off the web, but the cool thing about the CD version is that it will be available instantly, even when you don't have a web connection... on a plane, at that fellowship dinner (when you're preparing your talk about the new country you're entering) -- and all the maps and facts are copyright released... so you never have to write for permission to "copy and paste" the data! :-) To order, see: http://www.ywam.org/books/countries_and_peoples.htm

Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Deaf Ministries
http://www.csonline.net/ywam/MAIN.htm
For more information contact us at: ywam.deaf.min@dawnt.com
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Deaf Ministries provides opportunities for
Deaf and Hearing to reach out to people in the world who have little
opportunity to know the Gospel.
"Blindness separates people from things; deafness separates people from
people." -Helen Keller We believe that God created people for relationships. He created men and
women to have a relationship with Him and with others around them. These relationships are essential to finding fulfillment and purpose. A relationship with God is essential to eternal life.
Many will not have the opportunity to know Him because they will not
"hear" the Gospel in the conventional way. Jesus died that ALL may come
to know Him.
The Church of Jesus Christ is often referred to as sheep or a flock.
Jesus said, "I have other sheep which are not yet in the fold. I must
also bring them."
The Deaf are the 4th largest unreached people group in the world.
Ministry to unreached intellectuals, atheists, agnostics books and video series available.
