I saw it.....questions-

Who's the video for?

What do you think it says? [be succinct in your answer]

What was the goal of the video? [did it say what you thought you wanted it to say?]

[antcreations]

thanks for your questions.

the video is to be shown in our churches --- the goal is to recast the vision and mission to our constituents of why we operate schools in British Columbia.

Re: video to be shown in our churches

Yeah, I got that...but why? Have we been negligent in our vision of what Christian Education is about ? If so, why? If not, why are we showing this???

We are talking about evangelism thru education here...but we are promoting this thru our church...Why??? Everyone I know within Adventist circles gets this....Are we not "preaching to the choir"?

Why aren't we reducing this educational promo down to 30 second spots and 1 minute spots and spend the money to promote it among the non-adventist public...?? Why are we not pushing this type of evangelism ?

1. we all need reminders. recasting the vision and mission aims to do that. in marketing, the more constant the reminders, the better the message will be understood

2.it's better not to assume as not everyone that goes to our churches (at least here in BC) are not products of Adventist Education.... so yes, not everyone sings in the choir.

3. in BC, we do not compete with the public school system. the government subsidizes the accredited private schools. what we offer are alternatives or options.

4. close to 50% of our 1,200 students enrolled in our Adventist schools here in BC are non-Adventists. Hence, our schools here in BC are indeed mission fields.
