If you missed the previous post check it out and the video we put together for the h2o YouTube Challenge. (click here to read it or scroll down)We are very passionate about reaching more people for Christ here at h2o and God has greatly blessed our ministry. Due to some major space limitations we are not able to do any major outreach efforts on Wednesday nights since we already pack that room out each week. So instead of doing our outreach focus on Wednesday nights this fall we are moving it to our Small Group Ministry on Sunday Mornings. Our goal is to see more students connected with a Small Group on a weekly basis as a result of the h2o YouTube Challenge. Plus this will be a lot of fun.
So how does it work and how did we organize it?
Important Dates:
August 16th: Inform Student Ministry Volunteers of the idea and basic instructions for the YouTube Challenge.
August 26th: Issue the YouTube Challenge to students via video at h2o live,
Wednesday night.
August 30th: Issue the same challenge via video in h2o Small Group
September 27th: Due date for the Videos from the h2o Small Groups.
October 2nd: Upload YouTube Videos to YouTube on our ministry YouTube Page. Show a group’s video in Bible Study. (www.youtube.com/h2otexarkana)
October 4th: Show a group’s YouTube Video in h2o Small Group.
October 11th: Show a group’s YouTube Video in h2o Small Group.
October 18th: Show a group’s YouTube Video in h2o Small Group.
October 25th: Announce the YouTube Challenge Winners!!!
(possibly have 1st, 2nd & 3rd prizes)
Show a Groups video each Wednesday Night.
YouTube Challenge Guidelines:
Time Limit: Videos should not exceed 2-3 minutes
(although creativity trumps time limits)
Content: All content must promote the h2o small groups on Sunday Morning at 9:15am, and should be clean and reflect a positive mentality about involvement in our Student Ministry. We will watch and censor any videos that we deem to be inappropriate.
Editing: The groups are required to edit their own YouTube Videos. We will not aid or edit anything for you. See programs like “iMovie” or “AVS Video Editor”. They are free and easy to use.
Remember: This is a YouTube Video, not a professionally edited and directed movie. Make it good, but don’t be a perfectionist, you will ruin the fun nature of the project.
Final Format: You may turn your video in on a Jump Drive, or a DVD. Please call with questions.
Completion Date: Your group’s video needs to be turned in on or before September 27th!!!
Uploading: We will watch and up-load all YouTube Challenge submissions. Please don’t upload the video yourself or it will not be eligible for the challenge.
How do we win?
We will upload every group’s YouTube Challenge Submission on October 2nd for the whole world to see. Whichever Group’s YouTube Video receives more “hits” by the end of October 22nd by 11:59pm will win the YouTube Challenge!!!
We modified this to fit our ministry from an event done by Brian Mills. Gotta love sharing ministry ideas with your brother! Check out his blog to see what he's up to. If you're a staff member at a church I suggest reading his blog often.
