Video Script: Global Outreach Mission's Weekend
I was asked to create text for a video voiceover that would inform church attendees about the basic history, religious movements, and specific crisis facing the continents of North, Middle and South America as well as Europe, Asia and Africa. The total length of the entire video was approximately ten minutes and included the most important information affecting these specific locations. I also included the ways in which CCV is making an impact in these targeted areas. The video is included below.

Video Script: Global Outreach 360 Promo
CCV Missions Promo from CCV on Vimeo.
CCV needed a video bumper to promote Missions Weekend. I was asked to create a script that would be used to tell a story and encourage attendees to come back the following weekend for a special weekend highlighting missions. Here is the text that I created to go along with the dynamic video footage.
Do you realize what you’ve been doing?
Do you realize the many lives you have been impacting?
Do you know the places you’ve gone by giving?
10% can go a long way....
10% of each and every dollar you’ve given to CCV goes here. (video footage)
Here (video footage)
And here (video footage)
10% can go a long way....
It’s not just about writing a check.
It’s about taking action and making a difference.
Impacting one life at a time is what we can do. It’s what you are doing.
This is just the beginning.
Come back next week for the rest of the story.

Print Collateral: GO 360 Brochure
The Mission's Department at CCV wanted to print a brochure that would have a shelf-life of three to six months and could highlight all of the areas where CCV has mission partners. The focus was on Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Middle America. For the first brochure, they chose to highlight Africa and the need for missions.

Print Collateral: Coffee Sleeves
CCV has it's very own Starbuck's coffee shop where hundreds of church attendees stop by to get their caffeine kick. In a collaboration to promote Mission's Week, CCV created various coffee cup sleeves to raise awareness and create curiosity in missions. Here is what we came up with.

Short Story: Angels Among Us
Christ's Church of the Valley (CCV) likes to run short, 250-word stories in each weekend's bulletin to tie in with the sermon or events happening within the church. The approximate bulletin count is 9,500 every weekend.
Angels Among Us
There is no way to deny the facts. Did you know that every year in the U.S. there are over 3,000,000 reports of child abuse/neglect? In Arizona alone, last year there were 35,000 reports of child abuse/neglect. And currently in Arizona, there are over 10,000 children in the foster care system. These statistics should not only alarm you, but move you. There are little angels among us who need daily love and support.
CCV Members Jason and Shawna Seeger recognized this reality when they ventured out to Bulembu, Swaziland for a short-term mission trip last year. On their journey, they fell in love with the many orphans and wanted to adopt, but weren’t allowed to due to strict laws on foreign adoption. Instead, this couple came home with a new vision: To foster and/or adopt local children immediately.
“Each and every case is different, and there are many uncertainties. But one thing we know for sure: God continues to stretch us, bless us, and allow us to know how to love in a whole new way,” explains Shawna.
The Seeger family is currently caring for a baby girl. “We love her because we love God. It’s an amazing experience to be the physical arms that God needs us to be to hug her each and every day we have her. We will continue to provide foster care and/or adopt children as God continues to use us in this way,” the Seegers said in agreement.
If you are interested in foster care or adoption, CCV will host an orientation on Tuesday, May 26 at 6:30 pm in the Children’s Bldg. Christian Family Care will facilitate this meeting and can get you started on a new journey much like the Seegers. Also, the West Valley Foster & Adopt Support Group has a BBQ scheduled for May 31 from 2:30-6:30 pm and will be held on the CCV campus.

Radio Spots: Radio Shine 90.9 FM
Christ's Church of the Valley (CCV) needed copy for 60-second radio spots showcasing different events and services for an 8-week weekend radio program . I wrote copy to promote the current weekend series titled "The Warrior", the Easter services, a new marriage series titled "Fireproof", a men's extreme adventure event titled "QUEST", and a general announcement promoting neighborhood groups within the church. Here is a sample of the text used to promote "Fireproof".
FIREPROOF SERIES
There no longer seems to be much of a stigma attached to divorce; it is now seen as an unavoidable rite of passage. In fact, 2008 statistics claim roughly 60% of marriages end in divorce. Second or third marriages have only about 20% of couples remaining happily married. A full eighty percent of repeat marriages end in divorce. Over one million children watch their parents divorce each year, and half of the babies born this year will suffer through the divorce of their parents before they turn 18.
“Fireproof”, the 2008 inspirational movie featuring Kirk Cameron who is a successful firefighter struggling to keep his marriage intact, made a lasting impact and showed us all that marriage takes work…hard work. Christ’s Church of the Valley will be kicking off a new 4-week series titled “Fireproof” starting the weekend of April 25-26. The Fireproof series will cover topics like the basic differences between men and women, unconditional love, resisting temptation, and the covenant of marriage.
Ignite your marriage. Join us for one of our four identical services provided every weekend in the Worship Center. Check us out on Saturdays at 4:30 or 6:30 pm or on Sunday mornings at 9:30 or 11:15 am. After service, be sure to stop by CCV’s food and beverage court or their onsite Starbucks coffee shop to keep you energized for the weekend. CCV is located at 7007 W Happy Valley Rd in Peoria, AZ. Contact us if you have any questions at 623.376.2444 or www.ccvonline.com

Short Story: Through the Years
Christ's Church of the Valley (CCV) likes to run short, 250-word stories in each weekend's bulletin to tie in with the sermon or events happening within the church. The approximate bulletin count is 9,500 every weekend.
Through the Years
When divorce is rampant and hanging through the hard times isn’t appealing, how do couples survive? And not just survive, but how do they thrive? CCV Members David and Lori Andresen can affirm that loving Christ first and foremost and then loving each other has helped keep their marriage intact through the years.
“We met and dated our senior year in high school. We committed our relationship to God immediately. It was very important to both of us to remain pure until our wedding night. And we believe God has honored that commitment time and time again,” Lori explains. “Through the trials over the years, raising three children, and welcoming two sons-in-law, my love and respect for David is as fresh as it was the day we fell in love, only because God is the center of our life.”
Getting married at a young age, when they were only 18 and 19 years old, created many extra struggles in itself. “But through the good and the bad, we wanted to grow up together and it worked. We believe God honors and blesses our marriage and family if we keep Him first.”
David testifies, “When I got married, my prayer was to be the man of God and best husband that I could be. I have failed many times, but I will never stop ceasing and praying to be that Godly spiritual leader and husband that Christ requires me to be!”
On May 12, David and Lori will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary in Italy. They believe this accomplishment is only possible by the grace of God and their unconditional love and complete commitment to each other.
