Considering bringing this presentation to your
group?
Having brought this presentation
to a wide variety of group types and sizes, please allow me to make a few
suggestions to both accommodate your group and make it the best presentation
possible. Feel free to call me, toll-free, at 1-877-532-9160 if you have any questions.
Who would best be blessed by this presentation?
Believe it or not, anyone!
I have brought various forms of the presentation to groups ranging from
skeptical scientists to high school classes, church services, private homes,
youth groups, and children's groups. It is not
just for the intellectually minded. I work hard to help the common
layman understand the technical lingo and what it really means in real
life. And so far I have been very surprised by the reactions of even
the most skeptical atheists. Time and again I have been told they
enjoyed it, even if they didn't like what was being said. It is a
fun subject and hey - we need the skeptics too!
It is a tremendous boost to
one's faith to hear these studies. I know because I was once an audience
participant too. All of Creation truly does declare the glory of
the Lord. One just has to take a look around.
How long should it be?
The presentation can be tailored
to suit your needs, running anywhere from 1/2 hour to full, multiple night
conferences. Most groups want either a single presentation or a two
part presentation. Surprisingly, aside from school groups, most groups
have requested one long evening. Typically two hours with a break
in the middle.... well, sometimes with a break in the middle
Well, sometimes we went three hours. :-)
"Conferences", or multiple
night presentations can be broken up any way you like and I can provide up to 20 hours total time of lecturing.
Special needs:
A projector screen would be a tremendous
asset. I have a power point projector if needed, but I use Corel
Presentations, not power point, so if your facility has an installed
projector, it's best if I can plug into your projector. I have a
wireless remote for my computer, so the computer can be anywhere in the
building. I also have a Shure wireless lapel microphone if
needed, as I do need a hands-free microphone.
Space-wise, some displays have their own stands, but
typically I'll need two or three six-foot long tables (they need to be
strong).
Other thoughts:
I have never had a problem
of a group wanting to be there and hearing more once they are there.
The delimna I have faced has always been convincing people that they want
to be there in the first place. In this culture, we are very, very
busy. People tend to think it isn't for them.... until they
get there.
A short introduction during
a church service does help to raise interest, and I can provide a
promotional DVD if you wish to play this during a prior morning
service. This DVD simply introduces the museum and what I do.
