I have been invited to participate in an event in Colorado Springs, called Leverage, put on by the Visual Story Network, of which I am a member. Leverage is an invitation-only gathering of six global ministries with five world-class "visual innovators" to help each ministry take strides toward more effective visual outreach. I have been invited to sit on the panel as one of the five visual innovators.

The goals of the Leverage event are as follows:

Each ministry develops a greater vision for what is possible in visual communication.
Each organization leaves with three concrete steps to help them transition to greater visual effectiveness.  
Each organization is equipped with relationships and tangible resources to help them move forward.
After 6 months, three organizations can identify how they are adapting to a visual world.

The six ministries attending this event are Greater Europe Mission, International Bible Society, Navigators, World Venture, Christian and Missionary Alliance  and Youth Partners Net.

I feel very privileged to have been chosen as one of the five innovators and deeply desire that God would use me to direct and challenge these ministries towards His heart for how to use the diverse communication technologies and storytelling methods available to us today to advance His kingdom and accomplish the Great Commission. We know that God has created us to be creative, and there has never been a greater need for new and innovative ways of using the incredible media technologies available today to reach the nations for Christ.

The event will be held in Colorado Springs on the 20th-21st of April.
