Visual Aid Project This project was intended to make use of audio-visual aids and other means of communication such as street plays in social awareness and gospel proclamation programmes in our diocesan area. A two day Consultancy programme on HIV/AIDS Awareness was arranged for our missionaries and evangelists in July 2006 at the United Theological College , Bangalore . Twenty evangelists from various mission fields in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu were selected and sent to the UTC, Bangalore for a one day workshop on October 14, 2006. The UTC street theatre team trained the participants. The audio-visual awareness project was inaugurated on November 06, 2006 at a well-organized function at the Mar Thoma Mission Centre, Hoskote. A core committee has been formed to work out the modalities for future programmes. An awreness programme was arranged at Chennai with the help of a team form Gurukul Theological college.We have also arranged similar campaigns at Rayalseema in Andhra Pradesh, Pollachi in Tamil Nadu and in the villages of Sivanapura, Jangamankotta, Chinthamani and KNS Mission fields. This campaign attracted a large audience. As a part of the Gospel Campaign we screened the film 'JESUS' in parishes and mission areas. |
