How I created an INFOGRAPHIC with MS Publisher

By Leave a Comment

Infographics are extremely popular today and though a number of free sites on the web that advertise how "easy" it is to create them, I didn't find them useful for my needs in Church Communications. After many failed attempts and frustration, I turned to MS Publisher and was very pleased with the results. You can see the finished graphic at:

Sales reps can challenge us with their skills
Sales reps can inspire us with their skills in outreach.

As we near the end of the year, evaluate the past, and set goals for the present, I updated this blog. . . .

Please do not take this the wrong way—to use the analogy of a "sales rep for the Kingdom of God" is not meant irreverently at all—it is meant to provide an analogy that may help all of us be a better witness for Jesus.

Ebook: What every church leader needs to know about church communications

What Church Leaders Need to Know About Church Communications
Church leaders must be involved in the church communication process, this book shows how.

An effective church communication ministry that enables unchurched people to find Jesus as Savior and grow to mature disciples takes the joint efforts of all the church staff. Church communications that fully fulfill the Great Commission take more than a church administrator who knows how to create professional-looking publications. They require involved pastors and leaders.

Unfortunately, this involvement is rare and that lack of involvement results in less than effective communications and often frustrated church communicators. This does not mean church leaders need to know how to do church communications, but they need to understand how they are done. Leaders also need to set the vision for the goals for the communication ministry and be certain to evaluate and follow-up communication projects. This book will help your church leaders understand the need for their involvement and the limits to their communication involvement in this vital area of church leadership, management and growth.

Below is the Table of Contents for the book. The ebook is free for Effective Church Communication Members or you can buy it as an immediate download below. [Read more...]
