MISSION RESOURCES

For Children

Kids Around the World (VCM-308) will broaden kids’ understanding of the world as they explore the history, geography, and religions of other countries. Kids will learn about the 10/40 Window, a rect-angular geographic area which spans from West Africa to East Asia. Most people in this area have never heard about Jesus.

For Youth and Young Adults

A Mission Trip to Zimbabwe (DVM-724) records a mission trip of a group of UC Davis students to Zimbabwe. The first section is a movie of the trip. The second section is a slide show, and the third section tells of ways to help the people of Zimbabwe.

For Youth

Making a Difference (DVY/VCY-528) is a multimedia presentation which guides teenagers to have a servant’s heart by adopting a family to care for, studying Biblical examples, engaging in discussions, journaling, and taking part in creative worship experiences. A music CD is also included.

For Youth and Adults

Signs of Hope (DVM-722) contains four stories of encouragement for people and churches to follow God’s call into mission. This DVD was sponsored by Seattle Presbytery’s Mission Development Committee to celebrate God’s mission in the Seattle Area and to encourage others to pray, discern, and enact God’s mission. Although the missions described are Presbyterian, the DVD is very inspirational for members of any denomination.
