Missionary Slides

When you connect the words "missionary" and "slides" what comes to mind? 

A dark room, 40"x 40" roll-up movie screen, card table, folding chairs, the hum of a cooling fan and the clickity--clack of the machinery inside a Kodak Carousel projecting exotic images of far away places? Some images backward, some images upside down?

Missionary Slides?

Or, contemporary music, smoke machines, flash pots, and a multilayered media presentation including video, special effects, and QR Codes perfectly seamed together and flawlessly orchestrated from a visitor using their phone to fill the Jumbo-Tron in an auditorium of 3,000 seats?

Missionary Slides?

Or maybe your image is a bit more literal...

Missionary + Slide

But seriously folks, regardless of the era and/or our own generation...slides are still being generated by missionaries to inform, inspire, and involve others in God's work in ways their viewers wouldn't otherwise be engaged. Productions and presentations may change, but slides are slides.

You might not realize it, but even as an administrator with MMS Aviation, I make slides that cross media platforms to specifically target a rather unique audience: missionaries themselves! 

After that long-winded intro, here are several "missionary slides" I've created over the years. The photos are usually pulled from on-line photo resources and quotes, other than my own, are attributed to their source. I usually just match and format the two elements to convey an idea to encourage the missionaries we're mobilizing and/or coaching.





I hope you enjoyed this missionary slide show. Be watching for Karen's and my spring Global Flyer newsletter coming soon to a mailbox or inbox near you.

Oh...BONUS BIRD SHOT!

So there you have it. Installment #1 from the Keith & Karen's Mobilization & Partnership Services Coaching and Encouragement Slide File Folder.

Thanks for hanging out with us, praying for us, and making this ministry sustainable for the long-term!

Thanks for your kind words and your prayers! I'll post other slides I've created in the future. When my mind is all "mobilized and coached out) it's relaxing to work on a slide.
