It’s nice to be back to work after several weeks off. Actually, I’ve been back to work for a while now, but having been off for 2+ weeks with pneumonia has had quite an effect of the projects I was working on. We would really appreciate your prayers, especially with several deadlines looming.

The first project is the Multimedia Guidelines which have been written and updated by several in our department. These guidelines, which are for CEF workers in Europe who work with literature and multimedia, cover a wide range of topics, such as writing a Bible lesson for children, obtaining permission for translation, layout and prepress guidelines, FTP server usage and much more. I’m working on laying out the guidelines, and since it’s written by several people, with multiple styles, it’s sometimes like a jigsaw puzzle trying to fit the pieces together.

The guidelines need to be finished before the CEF European Multimedia Summit, which starts on April 5. There is a day-long workshop for workers involved in layout, however, on April 4. There’s a lot of preparation that needs to happen for that as well as a lot of research. More than a dozen attendees have signed up for the workshop, with more coming to the Summit itself.

The Kilchzimmer Echo is also due by the end of the month. It’s gone through quite a few changes in the past three years, with a few more this edition.

The Patriarchs Good News Club® Resource Pack is another item with a quick turnaround. With nearly 50 different pages of worksheets, maps, illustrations, Bible verses, central truth strips, role-plays and more, it’s always a time-consuming project.

Finally, a multimedia presentation for a supporting church is currently underway, which always takes planning and a lot of time. Please pray especially for this project, that it would be exciting and informative. On Friday, my co-worker Tim was able to take several photos for the project, which I used for this post. Thanks Tim!
