Mission Field Images

so in my last blog post i mentioned something along the lines of not being fully devoted to answering the question of where i get all my backgrounds. to me, answering that is such a process b/c there are so many resources and places i’ve gone to in the past few years, & i don’t know how i could answer it all.

part of my frustration with the visual media “industry” (if you will) is the lack of creative content out there. sure, there are some REALLY CREATIVE pieces out there….but not as many as i think there should be. that’s why VJ-ing is so important to me b/c i can almost create my own visual media on the spot.

my biggest frustration has been that one genre of visual media doesn’t even exist, and that is missions-themed media. Until now…

the fact that visual media focused on the Great Commission hasn’t existed until now blows my mind. i’m not talking about mini-movies, b/c there are certainly some good ones out there. even my company gi*inc is producing short films for New Tribes Mission. however, when it comes to backgrounds/loops/photography (formatted for VJ-ing), there is nothing out there. You can search SermonSpice, WorshipHouse, etc all you want….and what you MIGHT find is pitiful.

My friends in Florida just launched Mission Field Images and a brand new e-commerce site dedicated to getting excellent visual media centered around missions into the hands of the local church. Tonight, i used some of their images while VJ-ing for Brian Doerksen (for “Hope of the Nations”) and it ROCKED!!!

go check the new site out and load up on some of these beautiful photographs that capture the global story of God, and share them with your congregation this Sunday!

so what about backgrounds & loops for worship? well, let’s just say i am FULLY DEVOTED to solving that problem. and i’ll just leave it at that…for now. ;)

Here are just a few of MFI’s current work done by Dale Stroud.
