For many years a few of my friends have been discussing how to offer a hands-on workshop for those who feel a call to use their cameras in missions.

Jeff Raymond, ABWE Director of Visual Communications, called me, and we talked for a while about our dreams.

We still need a few things to come together for this workshop to work. First, along with James Dockery, ESPN Video Editor, Jeff Raymond, and myself, we will be helping to train college students in storytelling for missions.

Next May, we are taking nine students to Lisbon, Portugal, where each will work on a multimedia project telling a story about missionary work in Lisbon.

The students will go through all the stages of the storytelling process. Then, as they work on the project, they will receive instruction and opportunities to capture images and critique so that they can make adjustments the next day and continue to refine the story.

If you know of college students or are one yourself that is interested, go to this link [https://storytellersabroad.com] to learn more and register. We are taking applications, and those who register before December 1st are first in line. This first deadline is not the final deadline, but we encourage you to register early.
