Revival Hymn DVD cover and booklet.

Revival Hymn DVD cover and booklet.I am starting to get materials out to pastors and selected churches that the Lord opens the door to. One thing the Lord put on my heart to distribute firstly is the Revival Hymn (compilation) that has been very popular on SermonIndex. I have made by the Lords grace a DVD cover, and you might ask why DVD? I am getting DVD cases for .33 cents (CANADIAN) each right now, and the DVD case has a nice way of displaying alot of cover and back information and its easy to put together. Also there is room inside the case for a small booklet and its a hard case so it wont crack in the mail. 1) What you need simply is to download the .jpg image or .pdf file to print off and then cut at the 2 crop marks on the top and bottom.2) Get (single) DVD empty cases and just insert the cut paper into the plastic sheave. 3) Print off the little booklet coming soon! and insert it into the left hand side of the inner part of the DVD case.4) Download the Revival Hymn (Compilation) Audio and burn it to a blank CD (you can buy spindles of blank cds without cases for very cheap .10-30cents each). 5) I have refrained from printing labels on the CDS in full color etc its just to costly at this point. What I am doing is having small labels I print which I will make available also in a word document (.doc) file. So you can just buy the labels and print them easily. and add one to the lower part of the blank CD.----I hope this outline helps people and please prayerfully consider getting involved with this project to spread the message of revival.Here are the links to download the DVD cover, please NOTE this are big files and on slow connections will take awhile.PDF version (5.85 MB): dvd_cover.pdfJPG version (1.21 MB): dvd_cover.jpg

can everyone do a quick spell check thats not my expertise :-P

HeHe...will have to send you that program again, works great for things like this. Will post it here. CompilationI just got an english major to spellcheck the cover so its good to go I think. I am reposted the newer version right now! ;-)

3) Print off the little booklet coming soon! and insert it into the left hand side of the inner part of the DVD case.Just to clarify this little booklet will be the text transcript that Mike and Victoria worked on so diligently:"The Revival Hymn" Audio TranscriptionWhat a powerful resource this will be to get into the hands of pastors, bible school teachers, friends, etc. :eek: only the Lord will know how much impact these resources will have. All glory belongs to Jesus!Here you go http://www.iespell.com/Thanks so much mike im taking a look at it now! man I need something like this. :-o

It will be neat to include the text as part of the booklet...At first I thought by "Coming soon!" you meant the revival Hopefully it will be both!hehe AMEN brother! We all do pray and hope revival comes soon but are we ready for it. Yes the idea is the booklet will be the text transcript and thats it! I think its going to be a great addition to the audio counterpart so people can really get the message of this compilation into their hearts. It will be abit before I can figure out how to get the booklet sized and in a printable form that makes sense. I am going to the print shop today to print out a version of the DVD cover to be photocopied. I am excited how the Lord is going to use these for His glory. All we can do now is pray hard that it makes an impact as we send out copies to pastors and churches. I am personally sending out this next week a package to every single Assemblies of God pastor in Canada. I am excited at the partnerships and blessing I can be to the church in Canada. If anyone is wanting to do big mailouts in their city please contact me and I will fill you in with details and get you the resources you need to do it. :-)

Sorry if I'm being picky but I have found another item that could use correcting in the DVD cover. In the listing of the speakers included in the message you have Austin T. Sparks. As you know it should be T. Austin Sparks.Dear Brother Ron, no not at all! I will rectify that first thing tommorow. I have already made about 125 copies of it for the mailout that I am going to do early this next week but I will ensure that the spelling is fixed for next mailouts and people like yourself that could possibly use it :-) thanks for the maticulous attention. I am somewhat of a perfectionist and appreciate it when things are fixed and put in order.

Looks nice, man. Now you got me waiting out by the mailbox for the mailman to show up...I will send you a copy of this one once I have finished the booklet etc. You can download the pdf and print it out also yourself. I have just photocopied them in black and white so its nothing really special. But it does look nice :-P will keep you and everyone else posted in this thread.

so a full label cover all drives, even better is a direct-to-the-surface-printing (those printers in b/w are a lot cheaper (around 100-150 US) and and omit the label and expensive ink..hmm interesting could you give me a link to one of those type of printers that print onto the surface, I would typically like to do this but it seems the cost is too high. But your point is well take.

Hi Brother Ron, I have finished it and gotten 500 copies made for all the Revival Hymns I am producing here and giving out to primarly pastors in Canada. The way I did it was print out each of the image files and then cut them into a booklet form, by pasting each one in its proper order, then I gave the photocopy place the booklet in that form and they made the proper double-sided booklet, then afterwards I stapled them myself.Here is a quicksnapshot to see how I put the cut papers in proper order.Here are all the individual images:booklet_cover.jpgbooklet_text01.jpgbooklet_text02.jpgbooklet_text03.jpgbooklet_text04.jpgbooklet_text05.jpgbooklet_text06.jpgbooklet_text07.jpgbooklet_text08.jpgbooklet_text09.jpgbooklet_text10.jpgbooklet_text11.jpgbooklet_text12.jpgbooklet_text13.jpgbooklet_text14.jpgbooklet_text15.jpgbooklet_text16.jpgbooklet_text17.jpgbooklet_text18.jpgHope that makes sense :-(

Maybe you can email me the text that you used?Hi Mrs Fred, the text is available on this site here: "The Revival Hymn" Audio Transcription you can email Mike on that thread and ask for the word document ;-)

I recently put one together with the DVD case and transcript and gave it to an assistant pastor at my church and asked for approval to distribute it for free at our church bookstore. He denied my request and said he felt the compilation was too "dark" and would scare alot of people! I'm perplexed that he finds this convicting message to be scary and dark.Yes sadly there was not near as much response as I would think there would be. I spoke to 2 pastors on the phone only and got NO emails :-( yes many seem to be turned off somehow by it and want to continue in their lukewarm state of religion leading others in the same direction. If you will notice I am starting a 'sialkot prayer intiative' I have concluded that the best thing we can do as being weary of the state of Christians is pray and pray earnestly for revival.

i, myself would surely question this if i had never heard the sermon before. people need to see His life and light in the cover, then maybe they will accept this more. His life and light shines through this message...why not the cover?Thanks for the comments sister! I think he was refering to the audio it self as giving a dark kind of feeling from it. I think the cover is nice its a prayer meeting in the book of acts chapter 2 and where God comes down on the people in the form of tongues of fire. I am trying to stay away from it looking to professional and having to much showmanship. I know most of the speakers where not into glamour or showyness in the pulpit but rather the word of God preached with unction (no special effects). Like Leonard Ravenhill said 'our pulpits are filled with puppets not prophets'. I like the dark, earthy rugged look of the cover its how Christianity started ;-) thanks for the comments though arielle I am sure the cover could look different but I am really not trying to please men but God and I felt led to use that image so if pastors don't like it .. ummm to bad :-P You could always re-do the cover if you are going to hand it out to friends or other people.

The question has to be asked "who are we trying to reach with this message"? I would have to assume that we are trying to spread the Revival Hymm throughout the churches that are lost and need to hear the truth. Unfortunately these types of churches are caught up with the worlds way of marketing and promotion. This includes the pastors as well. "you can't win the world by being like the world, the world will only win you" ~ Keith DanielI hate to suggest this method of presentation but it's what's inside that counts. If the CD cover was maybe a little more inviting but not necessarily glamorous, I feel that your response may have had greater success.The creator of this complimation believes it should be simple, not glamerous, just a cd with the words written on it "Revival Hymn"! My making the DVD cover case for it is pushing the limits of the professionality it should have. It is something I believe if prayer is behind it will accomplish much. This whole ministry is an example of much prayer being effectual without very little resources. I am glad you are able to distribute this recording brother and I praise God for your desire for revival. I would love to hear more from you in the forums.

Well, I used Ian Paisley's "Awake!" quote in Sunday School last Sunday, and my pastor is interested in the content. All in all the content would be better if it were of higher quality so it could be heard better. I am assuming some of the original tapes or recordings were not good quality and have probably been recorded down so that they are heavily digitized.Yes brother you are correct.. alot of the recordings are quite old and therefor will sound abit scratchy but it adds to its vintage feel and call for revival. That is the reason Mike and others helped compile the text transcript which read by itself would proof stirring enough. I encourage you to avail yourself of that resource.

Hey, was just curious. Will there be another version of this made to go with the Revival Hymn DVD? There's a few phrases on there that talk about it being audio and such, that wouldn't quite gel. Thanks!

I could see about re-doing both. Thanks for the suggestion.
