"Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world." Sanhedrin 4:1

The movie Schindler's list got the quote wrong, but Oscar lived out the concept. Every life matters for every soul has been created in God's own image - giving value to even the 'least of these.'
 
Are you leveraging your opportunities, talents, prayer life and energy to embrace the concept? Who is on your own "Schindler's List"? And while Oscar Schindler had dishonorable qualities, he did invest his available money in order to influence the decision of life and death. Have you pushed 'all in' to make an eternal impact?
 
I suggest that there are opportunities that will broaden your horizon.

Initial test/concept build of the Gospel Photo Booth.

Introducing a prototype for developing an evangelistic database or even used on furlough for developing an email database. I anticipate a cost of about Euro 250 turnkey - so it is affordable - including all the finished hardware. This video describes and shows the working prototype. Finished I envision a cover with printed instructions - something like: Free Photo Booth, yadda, yadda.

Feedback is desired, so fire away. Or unanswered questions... By the way, the video is over ten minutes long.


Version 2 of the Gospel Photo Booth.

Now for the beta version - still a work in progress.

Still to be added (ordered, but has not yet arrived):

  • Lit Led Buttons for the y/n response.
  • Lights for low-light situations.


Version 3 of the Gospel Photo Booth.

Upgrades:

Lighting for low lights

LED - easier response

Acrylic mount - Final size yet to be determined.

It is now a working prototype.

Still to be completed:

Backside construction

Final wiring setup 12V stepped down to 5V with 2A+ power supply. (At present two power sources are plugged in: A 5V for the Raspberry Pi and 12V for the LED's and Lighting Strip.)

Log file upload of non-uploaded photos and email addresses, plus send out photos to the email addresses.

Normally I write out my blogs, this time I make an exception and record an audio track, so imagine we are having coffee together and I am rambling on...

What does a missionary pastor do on a typical Sunday? This blog is an effort to describe my Sunday today - Sunday, May 29th, 2016.

We had an outdoor baptism scheduled and at 5:30 AM there were severe thunder storms and strikes within 2 miles of our location. Yesterday an official at a youth soccor match was struck by lightning and 30 children were sent to the hospital.

The recent passing of actress Patty Duke led me to want to revisit a movie from my childhood: The miracle worker from 1962. It depicts the impact of the teacher Anne Sullivan on the young deaf and blind Helen Keller. As I watched the movie, where both actresses, Duke and Anne Bancroft, won Academy Awards for their on-screen portrayal I repeatedly thought of the parallels to missional mandate.
