Expert Dave, of CummingHousePainter.com was heavily involved in the reconstruction process after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Living out of his mobile trailer behind the Kenner Seafood restaurant, Dave and his men were some of the first crews helping the resilient Louisiana residents start anew. Dave was known not only for his fine craftmanship, but also his genuine caring heart.
While other companies were gouging the storm beaten residents, Expert Dave was committed to be honest and fair in his prices. Using his connections, he was able to get the necessary supplies to the area, from drywall to timber, to help his clients get their home back in shape.
Dave will admit the hours were long and the stress mighty. He saw so much devastation, but what hurt the most was seeing so many people in distress. He often not only spent time helping with the actual construction, but also hours talking with his clients, praying with them, and consoling them in their loss.

Discover The Power Of An Online Ministry Video Plan
The growth in numbers of people on the internet has spurred an interest in online ministry video for those serious about their vision.to impact the world for Jesus Christ. It is an opportunity to tap into the great harvest available online, to reach the uttermost parts of the world. As Jesus commanded:"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"
A powerful example of online ministry video can be seen by Streaming Faith, Lightsource.com, XP Media, among many other excellent ministries who see the advantage of using the internet for the Gospel.
Even the major Christian television stations have their programs readily available with video online, right down to applications for I-Phones and other smart phones.
No doubt people, whether at home or on their phone, are online. The fact that 60% of all internet traffic is video watching and that YouTube is the second largest search engine, should get any minister of the Gospel thinking about taking advantage of those watching eyes.
Or how about these stats from Comscore.com, the leader in measuring the digital world: “80 million U.S. Internet users watched online videoduring the month. YouTube delivered video to morethan 135 million viewers during the month, reaching 3out of every 4 online video viewers at an average of 96 videos per viewer.”

Can My Ministry Do This?
You may wonder if your ministry could take advantage of the internet and really do this.
I say yes! And I see many great efforts by ministers with limited resources at the time.
Check out Firebrand's ministry partner from the UK, Evangelist Ben Bennett. By using simple audio and his own slide creations from photo shop, Evangelist Ben shares his heart and God's Word with his own online ministry video program. Most of his videos can be seen at his Facebook page as well as his own site.
He eventually got a webcam and is now continuing his video ministry!
Another minister using this video ministry well is Rosalind Y. Thompkins. Whether it's at her website or her Facebook page, Rosalind has a powerful way of using two to 10 minute videos to get a powerful message across.
