My mission trip to Ethiopia

This past fall, my church was partnering with Compassion International and the Willow Creek Association to visit a "partner" church in Ethiopia. They invited the churches to ask their videographers to come along. I submitted that I would like to go, and was accepted.

So Tuesday morning, at about 11:45 EST, I will begin my journey to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia via Chicago, USA, and Frankfurt, Germany. Please pray for me, Mike Bass, and our associate Pastor Matt Wallis as we go around the world to experience and participate Compassion International's efforts to "release children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enable them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults."

You can follow me (and our group) on the following social networks, etc. I will hopefully posting a video by Sunday.:
God Bless!

Bob Meeks' Testimony Video

Here is a video I made for a service at my church. I kept it real simple and let the story tell itself.

LifeCare of Brandon-Sanctity of Life 2010

Here is a video I shot and edited for my church's "Sanctity of Life Sunday." It was shot in a classroom at the church on my Sony HVR-A1U. I used a 17" LCD next to the lens to teleprompt a script Karen wrote.

The teleprompting program is called PromptPC, and it has a free/light/demo version on their site. You can find it here: http://www.movieclip.biz/prompt.html

United Methodist Women-Santity of Life 2010
