Beginning with Video

Stories are the heart of evangelism. The story of God we meet in scripture. Our own stories of life with God: the struggle, the loneliness, the authentic, the resurrection. And other people’s stories, where they may not have even seen God but you see God and can help them to find their own words and relationship.

  • Use Closed Captions
  • Focusing just on communicating announcements
  • Only getting volunteers who look good on camera
  • Using non diverse language
