Jerusalem TV

Imagine you are a news reporter for a TV company. There is a huge story breaking. Jesus, the healer and preacher is on his way to Jerusalem and things are going to happen. Your company wants to be the first with news and there is a bulletin on just 2 hours. The tapes need to be edited, reports gathered and scripts written. Just like a real Newsroom there is a rehearsal and then the main live broadcast - transmitted through to the parents and those collecting the children.

Jerusalem TV is a holiday club for children ages 7-13. We set up a TV studio in your church. Various roles are assigned to the children each day. There has to be a director and an assistant director, newsreaders, reporters, film editors, camera operators, journalists and on-lookers. The children experience a different role each day.

The team then watch the rushes as they come in from the camera crew in Jerusalem. These are in reality clips from the 'Miraclemaker'. The same clips are provided in digital form and are edited down to make a number of 1 minute reports in conjunction with the reporters who are preparing their voice-over to their stories. Meanwhile the the news-readers are writing their script and the on the spot filming are gaining eye-witness accounts. All this is overseen by the director and the assistant director.

All the equipment is operated by the children themselves and you will be amazed at how well they do. You will also be amazed at how hard this club makes them look the story of Holy Week.

And the atmosphere is just like a real TV Newsroom. How do we know? The real life camera crews who have visted us during this club have told us so!!

JERUSALEM TV is only available in a package where Mike comes to your church and leads the Holiday club. This is ideal for churches that have never run a club before. All equipment is supplied including data projection, laptops and software. The minimum package is 5 days, but we would recommend booking a preparation day about 6 weeks before and it would also be a good idea to have Mike lead the following Sunday Service. Other family friendly events or IT training evenings can be built into the same week transforming the club into a week of mission to families in your area. Do also consider using it during term time. It would be easy to run the clun after school each day, probably after having given the children some tea. The advantage is that none will be away on holiday! Prices and possibilities of grant funding Booking form. Check out the free weeks in the diary. Look for dates in blue or red. If you want Mike to lead the service on Sunday then this day should be also be in red.
