This month we zoom in on John, one of our staff who has been working for months scanning and editing many of our old slide photographs that Create has taken over the years – to make these older but still relevant photos the best they can be. John has a passion for photography and loves the way it documents people and places, and even the way it can impact and change lives.

A couple of weeks ago we had a testimony on this blog about our outreach to the Punjabi Sikhs last year, when Create Perth teamed up with the School of Frontier Media 2010 and with other Create International teams to produce a bunch of resources for this people group.

As we head into a new month, it’s good to take the time to look around the Create International Perth office and see what’s been going on, with media projects both old and new.

Towards the end of 2009, an opportunity opened up for me to make a film highlighting the work of the Birth Attendant School during an outreach in India.  The Birth Attendant School is a training program of Youth With A Mission Perth who focus on reaching out to women and children in developing nations who have little or limited access to health care, especially related to childbirth. The film focused on a portion of the outreach where the school was assisting a hospital that drew pregnant mothers from the poorest of the poor in this mixed Hindu and Muslim community.

We had an encouraging testimony a little while ago from a South Asia YWAM leader.  They let us know that the people using a project produced through Create India, one of fellow Create International centres, have just ordered another 1000 copies of that video to distribute through their radio program!  It’s an evangelistic (EV) video for the Bengali Hindus that a couple of our Create Perth staff were able to go and help produce back in 2008.
