A cool e-mail we received from a Pastor

Friday, January 29th, 2010

This week we received a really cool e-mail from a Pastor about how he used Deidox in the weekend services.

We’re humbled by the ways Deidox films are being used. It’s our prayer that the Lord moves through the films to challenge and inspire His people, so when we get an email like this it’s pretty exciting.

Dear Deidox,

I purchased your video bundle a month or two ago and used them this past Sunday for the first time. I saved them for an 8-week series I’m preaching called “On a Mission” taken entirely from Luke 10:1-12. My goal is to help our members understand that they are all on a mission and have already been appointed and sent to the place where God wants them to shine for him and spread his gospel.

I had initally planned to use one of your videos each week as a tangible picture of someone who recognized that they had been appointed and sent. But, when I sat down and watched all five again to figure out which week they would best fit I was overwhelmed with the collective impact of watching them together.

So… I did something that Presbyterian pastors are never supposed to do :) … I trashed the traditional sermon and began by reading the passage, but then showed all five videos this past Sunday making only brief comments inbetween (e.g. “Robert is on a mission… appointed and sent by God to serve in a clinic for the uninsured.” etc.) and then a couple minutes to wrap it all up at the end. The response from my congregation was absolutely overwhelming!!!

So, first of all, thanks for making such excellent videos. I usually pass these kinds of resources by because they’re just not made well enough. Yours are. Please keep making these kinds of videos… God will use them so powerfully. A request: I wished this past Sunday that I had one profiling a high school or college student and one that profiled a retired person. The addition of those two would have made the collection complete!

Thanks for your ministry. It’s been a great help to us here at Fletcher Hills Presbyterian Church!

In Christ,

So cool! We love to hear how the Deidox films are making a difference.

If you are a pastor or church leader, please let us know how you have used the films within your ministry context!  If you are not a pastor or church leader, we’d love it if you made your church leaders aware of Deidox and encouraged them to use the films.
