Keys To Begin Your Own Video Ministry

You may be at a crossroads wondering which direction do you take to begin a video ministry.



Do you have a roadmap? Do you have a clear vision in your mind that matches the dream behind the God given destiny?

Understanding the importance of having a "mental map", as Jesse Duplantis explains in his new book, "Evey Day Visionary", is a key beginning point.

You may be convinced of this God given destiny, but you still have to make choices to go in the direction of it. You need purpose and direction. Your thoughts and dreams must have an intent that gets the "ball rolling" to move!

A mental map means you take the time to focus, pray, and allow the idea to develop into action. For our purpose here, it could mean as simple as getting a Flip Video camera and starting to video yourself sharing the Word of God.

The focus coupled with the action produces the roadmap...the mental map, to your final destination of having a video ministry.

I highly recommend you get this book by Jesse Duplantis as you begin your video ministry.




Duplantis gives an example of how he got his dream of preaching to the World on TV started in his book. His beginning actions included sharing the idea with key people and being faithful in in the local area preaching the Word around southern Louisiana. As he preached and shared, people would come up to him and comment on how they were encouraged and could see him on television someday.

With the verbal support came financial support which propelled him to the next step: Hiring the local cable network to shoot him preaching into the camera for a week. He went in with his Bible as they shot the video each day. Duplantis then hired a production company to produce and edit the introductions and closing to his program which had key information of his ministry's address and phone number.
He then purchased air time, once again locally, and then his ministry program began to be aired on the local Cox television station in Louisiana.

Soon people were writing in with prayer requests, support and asking for more material.

The rest is history. Jesse Duplantis is now seen Worldwide on a number of networks. He not only has his ministry program on Christian Networks such as The Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN), Daystar, but also on the major networks of ABC, NBC, CBS,
and Fox Television!

So write the vision out, make it clear, and put some action to the dream!!

Habakkuk 2:2-3

"Write the vision and make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it,
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry."
