 Videos With a Message
As YouTube continues to refine its product, other industries are beginning to realize how this medium can be used for non-entertainment purposes. For example, news commentators are predicting YouTube will play a large role in the 2008 presidential election process. After studying the YouTube concept, several began asking why the same technology couldn’t be used to help network members with one another, especially for sharing ministry ideas. Church Support Services Director, Rich DuBose says, “The idea seemed so obvious, we were amazed that someone was not already doing it.” After a couple of months of prayerful planning and site building, SpiritFlash.org went live in July 2007. You can be sure that it will evolve and change as time goes by. But the site is up and members are invited to participate. You Are Invited To make it fly, SpiritFlash needs local church and member participation. If you have a ministry that is meeting a need within your church or is being used to share God’s message of hope with your community, please grab a video camera and create a short home-spun video that describes what you are doing. You may have some youth in your church who already know how to handle the technology side. Of course, the more creativity you put into it the better. Videos should not be very long—maybe 3 min at the most. As reports and ideas are shared, members will be stimulated by the exchange of what’s being tried. Plus, we can all benefit from seeing how God is inspiring members to become involved in projects that build up His kingdom. Presently there are 4 categories or “channels” that define video subject matter: 1.
