From Sampler to Sower

So, you’re fresh back from your youth retreat with a digital camera full of stunning photos and you want to know the best way to show your church all the great things that happened while you were away, but you don’t have the time to spend all day editing a video together.  What do you do?

If you’ve been reading this site recently, you know what I’d do.

Head to Animoto.com.

Animoto is a web-based service that takes your photos and video clips and edits them into a montage, complete with a tightly synced soundtrack.  It is, quite honestly, amazing what this software can do.

MinistryQuestions.com

Tim Schmoyer of Life in Student Ministry has just launched a new website to help answer some of those nagging youth ministry questions you might find yourself asking.  Tim describes MinistryQuestions.com this way: “Think of Yahoo! Answers except with the added ability to interact via video and audio clips.”

If you haven’t checked it out, do so, now!  It’s not only chocked full of information and growing by leaps and bounds, it’s absolutely beautiful!  And be sure to check out this Youtube video to see how it all works.

Now, go, check out the site, and be sure to vote for all my answers. I’m saving up rewards points for a free trip to Peoria! (Now all I’ve got to do is figure out how to redeem them.)
