Being Adaptable
September proved to be a month of a lot of learning. For starters, I have begun learning a lot about advertising. Namely how to take things I learned from my design classes, and make them communicate in a professional way. I also started taking a class with Sarah Williams from Regent College in Vancouver about Christian History. It has been so interesting to learn about our faith as a story from after the lives of the 12 apostles. Namely learning about the shift in perspective of Rome, people like St. Augustine, and places like Ireland and Clooney. Lastly of course I have been learning how to continue to improve the ministry experience for people while being predominately online. Fundraising for me has also extended into the year some, so I would appreciate prayers a lot as I continue to figure out how to reach my goal. I am just under $200 a month away from this.
Though it started last month, our weekly Deep Dive service has gotten into full swing this last month. What has been exciting to see about this, is just how much people are watching it. Our viewership of the live stream has stayed below what a normal service is for us, but we also know that many people are watching together with roommates on one device. The more encouraging number is just how many people are returning to the VOD to watch. One of our services has been watched over 400 times which is just crazy to think about. I really never would have imagined I would be apart of making a video that has a reach like that. While 400 doesn't seem like a lot in the grand scheme of things, it is way more people than normally see our service. It is so cool that God has used us to send a message to people even in times like this. If you would like to check it out you can find our stream and recordings at twitch.tv/utdfocus. Here is one of the ads we have been posting on campus so that students can see it as they go to class.
