Also as promised, here is more information on how you can Host a Screening.
As we approach this Live Event, would you consider supporting us through hosting a watch party?
This Virtual Event provides a unique opportunity to invite others to learn about our transformative ministry. We’d love this event to be an excuse for you to gather some friends and watch the event together. If last year is any indication, it will be a powerful and encouraging time!
Hosting a Watch Party is really simple.
1. Make sure you have Registered
2. Find a place to watch with some friends
3. And invite your friends! (We've included a sample invite below)
More details:
Reply to this email letting me know you are planning on hosting (so we know and can support you).
You’ll need a space to actually show the live event. You can use your living room, a space at your church, or even a local theater!
The tech requirements are very simple. Everything will be streamed Live from DonorSee.com - so you’ll just need to be able to open a URL and the ability to play sound. Your TV or laptop should work fine.
Who to invite? Everyone! Make it an intimate Saturday lunch or ask your local church if you can make it a larger ministry event!
You should tell people to come at 11:30 am CST as the event will start at Noon. This will give you some time to make some welcoming comments and grab some food/snacks. The event should formally end by 1 pm, but there'll be an optional Q&A section for the following 30 minutes.
Your guests can register for the event but we’ll also send you a direct link so they can donate without registering. We’d just love for you to bring people together to hear what God is doing in Malawi!
Thank you so much for being an active part of what God is doing through When the Saints! We appreciate you very much!
With Love,
David and the WtS Team
P.S. Give a listen to David Peterka's sermon that he preached last weekend to the church he attends in Malawi. "What Keeps you Going when you are Afraid?" from 2 Kings 6:8-23.
Sample Invite
Dear friends,
I'm so excited to invite you to a viewing party of a live event on Saturday, Nov. 6th at 12 PM CST! This is the second annual virtual event for When the Saints (a ministry very dear to my heart!) and should be a really encouraging time.
When the Saints is the first and only trauma safe house in Malawi, Africa for girls who have been rescued from sexual exploitation. They have been doing such important work over the last decade and are now ready for the next step. This event is an interactive fundraiser for $75,000 in order to build a fourth dorm to increase the safe home's capacity from 54 to 72 girls.
If you attend my screening party we will have a community link to donate through and you wouldn’t have to register. Just please tell me that you are coming. Then, come on over to <insert location of party here> at 11:30 am on Nov. 6th!
Lunch/refreshments will be served! <Obviously, this is optional but what's a party without food?!>
I hope to see you here in person but if you are busy, out of town, or social distancing, I encourage you to still attend the fundraiser virtually to learn about and help this very worthy and reputable cause. If you want to watch it on your own, register here: https://donorsee.com/whenthesaintslive21.
Thank you,
