| Ross Stelljes – (507) 354-8221 ext 362 or stelljra@mlc-wels.edu I used this as a ministerial recruitment approach while doing classroom presentations to WELS high school students and I felt that it was well-received. I’m thinking it could work in other settings as well for recruitment. I just put up a whole bunch of titles on the screen, and let people pick a title and then I’d tell the story from my ministry behind it. Tried to hit on uplifting, challenging, and some of the more abnormal stories.. Length: 1-1.5 hours | Screen/projector requested |
