CHALLENGE – Make a Video Showing Our Global Village and Technology

You can become used by God to open the eyes of many people.
Your video can wake people up to the facts about the world.
This can spark people to do the following.
-- Become more thankful to God for what they have
-- Pray for missions better
-- Appreciate differences
-- Give more to mission
-- Get involved in community outreach.

A few times a year I get an email forwarded to me about the global village.
Surely you to too.
Each one is different.
Some are just text.
Some have photos or graphics
You Tube has some videos and the links follow.

Some use the premise that it all the world population was 100.
How many could
-- read
-- have food
-- were of each race
-- have a cell phone
-- speak English
-- etc.

My dad forwards another one to me.
This one has very beautiful photos.

I suggest you could do the research online and offline.
You could use various ways to illustrate your story including the following.
-- Graphics
-- Stock photos
-- Animation
-- Stop action
-- Symbols
-- Puppets
-- Icons
-- Avatars
-- Charts
-- Flags
-- Man on the street interviews to show how clueless most people are
-- Buildings (churches, mosques, office, school, stadium, etc.)
-- Tourist promo images by government agencies mostly public domain
-- Pies with colored icing
-- Public domain footage

http://public.resource.org/ntis.gov/
any city, state or federal site with dot gov in URL is public domain






Here are some resources to inspire you.
They can start your research.

Note that the data is mostly similar but sometimes very different.

Very few of the following are Christian or missions oriented.
None call to prayer.
Few mention what the viewer can do to become part of the solution.
