Exciting News and Breakthroughs in August!

Some of the exciting successes we have seen in the past months are two new, very skilled volunteers who are helping with proofreading our mailings and a writer who will volunteer his time and skills. We also learned of a 30-minute TV program that airs on CTN called “All Over the World” (http://www.aotw.tv/),which highlights a different mission organization each month. When I first saw the program, I was very impressed with its quality and thought how great it would be for Serve India Ministries to have a piece like this. The problem was that these types of documentaries filmed on location usually cost about $1,800 per minute to produce professionally, which would run about $54,000. I called the program anyway just to learn more and was very surprised to learn that the airtime was donated by the network and the producer raised his support so that he could produce the documentaries at a minimal cost: $4,000 plus travel expense to the field! This was great news, but we still didn’t have the $4,000, so I began to spread the word to people I knew. I was glad to tell a small mission organization here in Kansas City about the opportunity, thinking that they would jump at the chance to have a video made about their organization, but they called me the next day and told me that they would like to pay for our production cost! Imagine it - another mission organization is paying for our video! Now this show will be filmed on location in India in January and air in March on a network of 40 million people and another network of 150 million people worldwide. Please be in prayer for this project because it can be a great help in recruiting not only donors but volunteers and full-time staff as well.
