If your church orministry is into doingvideos, it can cost over$500 to buy a professionalgreen screen, orto buy the special paintto make one. We took a“real” green screen downto a paint store and hadthem analyze the color,then had them mix it for us and we painted our own greenscreen. We used Lowe’s Ultra Premium Valspar. The paint code is103-3Y10 / 107-1Y19.5 / 113-Y0.5 / 114-6Y18. It cost about $20and works perfectly. Note: Your screen needs to be lighted reallywell.

We ask church members to savetheir quarters (or donate toward this outreach), then they go outto coin laundries on Saturday or Sunday afternoons and offer topay for people’s laundry. Even those who are shy about streetwitnessing find this act of kindness a comfortable way to showthe love of Christ. In the three years we’ve been doing this, ouroffer has been met with varied responses, but many times withtears of gratitude. Often the Holy Spirit opens the door for furtherministry, and we pray with them or help in any way we can.About . . .
