Most churches that I know have difficulty enlisting enough people to do the ministry that God has called the church to do. Mega-churches are no exception. Each year we make a plea to our congregation to serve as Sunday School teachers. In the past, we’ve typically used humorous videos to do so. This year we’re trying something a little different.
Instead of trying to enlist Sunday School teachers, we’re launching a campaign to just get people to serve...somewhere...anywhere. We’re calling it iServe.
On Wednesday evening we’ll shoot the video portion of the campaign. We’ll line up 20-30 people with our church in the background and do a dolly shot across them. We’ll have 10-12 of the people give a 1-line testimony about where they serve and what it means in their lives.
We’ll use the footage we capture on Wednesday to produce 3 or 4 short videos. Each video will start with the dolly shot...starting each video from a different place in the line of people. We’ll edit 3 or 4 of the 1-line testimonies with close-ups or medium shots into each video. They will all end by flashing to a graphic saying “Where are YOU serving?”.
I’ll post one of the videos once we get them done.
