A Video Treasure Chest

    I have a vision of an online Video Treasure Chest. A place where a group of people can mine their ideas "ores", set them in this place, where later they can be retrieved and worked on. They, or another member of their group could take a piece of the ore out and work with it. They'd be able to create a "gem" with unique characteristics that a craftsman would produce. The finished "gem" could then be placed back into the Treasure Chest for others to use in building the "Crown Jewels for the Kingdom".

 

In plain terms, I am looking for an online repository that can be utilized by a group, silmultaneously. A place where raw video/photographic footage can be uploaded to; then  COPIES of the original footage downloaded to  individuals workstations for editing and project creation; then, uploaded again with revision number or title. 

 

 

The general purpose of these particular creations is to make it easier for people to see their neighborhood, their workplace, restaurant or shopping center as a mission field and alll the people around them as neighbors. Everywhere is a mission field; an opportunity for reaching out with the love of Christ to serve by fulfilling needs, encouraging and lifting up one another and helping others connect in such a way that they too can experience the joy that comes from knowing that every life has purpose and meaning.  To know that this life is NOT all there is. There is a glorious future ahead for the redeemed and all those who will accept Saving Grace.

 

All of us have some part to play. Every person could be the answer to someone else's prayer. For the person who thinks they haven't anything of value to offer (that what they can contribute is somehow too "little,") let's  help them SEE that God specializes in magnifying whatever we bring. Every little bit counts. Remember the small little fish lunch that fed thousands?? Are we willing to be willing?

 

With the proliferation of TV and video images in our society today, it is not surprising that people are more apt to take notice of something that is visually captured and presented in a manner that speaks to them on a personal level. So, we who feel the passion for connecting with these souls, are looking for a way in which to "store up treasures" (here temporarily, but in Heaven for all eternity).

So, my friends, have you seen a good treasure chest laying around lately?

Do you have a possible web-based solution to this need?  If so, I'd very much like to hear about what ideas YOU have?
