As part of my ministry work with The JESUS Film Project (a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ) we have been testing the use of short films for outreach around the world over the last two years.  With the field test that we have done we have found what worked the best in one-on-one, small group and large group settings.  As a result, we have produced a DVD with 11 short films that will soon be available to purchase.  My team lead a seminar a few weeks ago at the National Outreach Convention in San Diego sharing and showing how a church can use the short film DVD to reach their community.

I am excited about all the potential uses with the DVD tool.  Some churches are using it for church planting and established churches are using it to reach their community.  The DVD is subtitled into 9 languages too.  To find out more about the Short Film Stategy visit the Global Short Film Network website.

Many churches, perhaps your own, are incorporating videos into their services, classes or ministry events.

This new blog takes a look at videos and tools that have been produced and were you can get them. You can search for videos from multiple video download distributors all in one location. It is my desire to do regular reviews about church and ministry videos, presentation software and special offers available. Check it out at ChurchVideoReviews.com.

These are the type of short video or film pieces that you would show at a ministry event or during a church service. You will find that not all of the content creators are listed with the distributors. I have created a Ministry and Church Videos “one stop shop lens” at Squidoo to help you or your church find a video for your ministry needs. If you don’t mind, please take a moment to fill out the short poll. This will help me know how to build a “lens” that people want to see.

It soon will be ready for shipment. Here is what you will find.

Out of Reach: based on the Parable of the Friend at Night (Luke 11:5-8)
The Car Lot: based on the Parable of the Shrewd Manager (Luke 16:1-13)

On the website you can watch the trailers for each film. They even have the film, Found, from their first DVD, Yellow, that you may download for free.

These DVDs are a great tool for evangelism and Bible Studies. 36 Parables has a resource center on their website where you can get access to Bible Study for each film that has been produced so far.

Here is an excerpt from the website.

“Between now and forever lies…the bridge. A powerful and moving film about a man who learns the true meaning of sacrifice. “MOST” is the story of an ordinary man forced to make an extraordinary decision. Shot entirely on location in the Czech Republic and Poland, “MOST” is a beautiful yet edgy film that draws you in and grabs your heart. In Czech “MOST” means,  bridge. In this film, “MOST”, simply put, is the bridge between now and forever…lives forever changed.” Click here for more information.

Their network is driven by a community of people who submit short films and news segments that are first viewed online and if given the green light are shown on the Current network.

To help you learn how to create films and segments they have put together an excellent guide on how to tell your story, choose the right gear, how to shoot and edit and compress the finished piece. This is a great guide to reference if you are producing short films and videos for your church or ministry. Check out Current’s Survival Guide here.
