Ever since Story of the Soul (SOTS) was designed by Area Campus Coordinator, Dave Robinson and piloted in Hungary, it has been introduced to the Campus ministry of Russia and Ukraine extremely effectively. Recently, Campus ministries of other Eastern, even Western European countries started to show interest as well.
Dave approached my team about a month ago and asked us to design an interactive training tool for SOTS. This would serve to fulfill the great demand for training the what, why and how of SOTS in Eastern and Western Europe. Dave believes that the future of SOTS lies in student leadership. Thus, this tool will need to be translated easily into other languages as well as be user-friendly enough to have a student walk himself through it.
After much discussion and thinking we decided to create a CD with lots of video training material. We shot much footage of SOTS events, interviewed staff and students, took many pictures and gathered several used SOTS materials from Hungary and Russia. We compiled these into a step-by-step training. The result is a CD that walks you through the creative process from the vision to the making of SOTS, using videos, pictures, documents, tables and much more, from the original SOTS logos through elements for printing posters to slide presentations. Really, it is more than training.
The most wonderful part: last Friday, we were able to hand out about 50 copies of this CD to Campus Ministry workers from about 12 Eastern European countries!
It is only a beta version and we’ll have much refining to do, still, it is good to get it out there. Not to mention how exciting it is to be part of taking this wonderful outreach to a new level!
Please pray
- that we would be able to refine this tool to easily train many for the glory of God!
- that God would continue to use SOTS mightily
- that God would take this tool all over the world
