The Offering of Letters DVD is a great resource for many settings:
Please download the latest version of Flash Player, free from Adobe at get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
- Show it during a class at church or on campus, especially one that deals with hunger and justice or global poverty and development issues.
- Use a portion of the video (choose the Nicaragua or Kenya sections) to illustrate specific points or draw reactions from those watching. Have a discussion about them with children, youth, or adults.
- Project the 1-minute version of “We Are Bread for the World” on screens during the worship service to introduce Bread just before you explain what the Offering will be about.
- Play the Offering of Letters video during the coffee hour or other gathering times for several weeks before your Offering. Then have it running near the letter-writing tables on the day of the Offering for those who have not yet seen it.
- If your campus or retirement community has a television station, arrange to show the video during a “hunger and justice” focused segment.
- Link your church’s Web site to bread.org/OL2009 so visitors can view the video and other Offering of Letters resources online.
- Order the Spanish language version of the DVD and use it during outreach events in your community where you can have a letter-writing table set up.
