OUR GOAL
Our goal is to raise $20,000.00 to address the needs of communications equipment recently identified by a national survey of our regional teams. We are currently receiving gifts for this project under the account titled Communications Equipment Project. This is a very essential element of our ministry as our students are very technology savvy and used to interacting with the most efficient and latest communications devices. This equipment will allow us to close the communications gap by providing visual as well as verbal content in our various presentations.
Please join us and increase our capacity to ensure effective communication by sending your gift today.
THE VALUE OF A PROJECTOR
Last spring our Winnipeg staff joined students for a showcase of international talent. Visiting Chinese scholars led a Chinese worship song they had loaded into my laptop and shone onto the wall. A math trivia question, posed by a Romanian presenter, asked if we like chocolate, which eventually disclosed our age! Thankfully, a power point was projected onto the wall so we could see what we had missed while busy calculating. Later, as we used the projector to view a self-produced movie about our winter events, students and volunteers laughed at shared memories.
Typically, students conversant in English tell me they understand sixty percent of an English church service. However, with visuals, they see the context and can better evaluate what they hear. For this reason alone, laptops and digital projectors are valuable tools. They also provide flexibility of meeting place and facilitate presentations at ICF, staff meetings, prayer breakfasts, and special events.
Too often, when I stand at our display table and ask individuals whether they’ve heard of ISMC, the answer is no. A laptop and projector would enable us to show what amazing things God is doing among international students!
