Missions 2009

Evan Courtney — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:00:08 +0000

We just finished our 3 week mission emphasis at The Fields Church.
Here are some of the ways we expressed to our church, their impact on the World.

Stories
We got stories from our global partnerships, via email, videos, and skype.

Imagery
His Heart Our Mission was the slogan we used through out the three weeks. Each week we talked about God’s heart for people, and that it was our mission to join with what he was doing all around the world.

We created customizable tshirts that our leaders wore and that we sold for $5. At the bottom of the shirt, they wrote what they were passionate about.

During two of our weeks we did a creative element on stage.
Week one, a couple individuals painted chaos, and then finished with a heart.
Week two, we took photos of individuals at the gathering, and then during worship, we taped those polaroids inside of the heart, to illustrate, His Heart Our Mission, to give some ownership to God’s mission for us.

In print and on screen we created a graphic that showed all of our global partnerships, to show the affect that our church is having on the world.

Culture
Contacted the local college/universities international department, and got several students from other countries to come and share a couple minutes about their country.
There are tons of countries represented in your town/city, use them.

Note Card Design

Note cards I designed for The Fields Church.
What you see is the outside, and they fold in half.

The inside are blank, and uncoated.
So they can be wrote on.

These are blank, so they can be used for several different purposes.
