In 2009, working together with Christadelphian Bible Mission of the Americas [CBMA], an ambitious project was put together to professionally produce a 16 session series of ‘Learn to Read the Bible Effectively Seminars’. A studio set was built inside the hall of the Los Angeles ecclesia using commercial lighting, audio, five cameras, and even a fully functional director’s Control Room. After a training shoot was launched and completed, 50 volunteers were brought in to serve as a live audience and 16 sessions were recorded in two days. The director and the four engineers in the Control Room directed the various cameramen, inserted Power Point slides to be shown on stage on a wall mounted LCD television, controlled the audio, and inserted prepared video shots to blend it all together and enhance the quality of the programs.
Once the final editing was completed last year, the series was made available on DVDs to enable those brethren and sisters in smaller ecclesias to participate in their own ‘Learn to Read the Bible Effectively’ Seminars. This exciting series can be presented on a laptop computer that is connected to a projector for a large audience presentation, or connected to a large screen TV for a smaller audience, or shown on the laptop for a one-on-one class. The DVD set comes with a series of questions for the guests to retain more of the presented information.
If this ‘Learn to Read the Bible Effectively’ seminar DVD series can be of help to you, please e-mail Cindy.and.Doug@Juno.com for details, with a suggested donation of $17.50 USD for each set.
The CBMA plans to present this series on its website www.ThisIsYourBible.com and use it to interact with web viewers to engage them with questions on the presentations. What a marvelous opportunity this will be for brethren and sisters wherever in the world they are to participate in the preaching efforts that can now be undertaken with these wonderful new tools.
