Our chosen organization...

The TECHINCAL MINISTRY organization of

our Parish, Victory Greenhills.

We chose this since Elijah Ricamata has been a

member of this ministry for over a year.Mission/Vision:

Serving God through

technology he has

blessed us with.


3/15

The Technical Ministry Org!

(What we do)

Preparations start at 2:00pm, since servicebegins at 4:00pm.

Songs sung, Bible passages read, videos, and

the like are prepared. Two softwares are primarily used, Keynote and

ProPresenter.

A 15 minute countdown is given before the

start of the service. The flow of the service is first, praise and

worship, where we click from slide to slide,syncing the lyrics with the band.


4/15

The Technical Ministry Org!

(What we do)

After, we flash the Transitional

Verses/Passages (usually for reflection or

tithes and offerring).

If there are any announcements from thechurch, we flash it on the screen as well.

Usually, after this, we flash the pastor's

keynote/ppt and we go along with him as hepreaches, clicking slides. Once the preaching

is done we play music as the people exit the

room/sanctuary.

Interviewing Mr. Lee...

1) Why did you join this ministry/organization?

I joined this ministry because first of all I enjoy

serving God. Also, maybe because I like to play

with computers and do some experiments withnew programs; and in this ministry I am able to do

exactly just that. I am allowed to try different

things with programs so that the visual aid

presentation during services may be improved.

2) How does this org help you become a betterChristian?

It teaches me to be humble because the technical

ministry is usually the least noticed ministrybecause you dont usually see them. They arelocated at the back so that they can see thewhole flow of the program. On the contrary, thetechnical ministry has a major role in the success

of the entire program. They need to check that allequipments are working, that all visual aidnecessary is already input to the computer andready to be shown.

3) How do you think does Victory address the

need of your ministry?

The usual problem for my ministry is the lack of

volunteers, but the church address this by having aservice wherein the topic is about volunteering and at

the end there is a sign up of which ministry you would

want to join.


10/15

Beatitude?

A beatitude that can describe our intervieweewould be "Blessed are the poor in spirit, fortheirs is the kingdom of heaven." He can be

described as this since, according to hisanswer to one question, that being behind thescenes (and controlling the smooth flow of theprogram/service through visual aids) as a"tech guy" may not be the most recognizable,but one of the most important. Although theyare not noticed, they still continue to serveGod whole-heartedly.

Our time with our org..

Being with our organizationwas an enlighteningexperience for us. We wereable to experience together the

many different difficulties andresponsibilities theorganization has in the church.Having the responsibility tomake sure the service goes

smoothly was challenging andexciting at the same time. Wewere able to accomplish all thetasks stated awhile ago, withour orgmates.


12/15

Elijah Ricamatas Reflection..

Even if I was part of this ministry for a year

already, I was actually more excited to be

a part of it and do more. The interview

also made me think that despite beingunnoticed often, we have an important role

to ensure the smooth flow of the

service/program. I think that God put me in

this ministry to teach me to become

humble as our interviewee mentioned.

Elijah Ricamatas Reflection..

Even if I was a member of

this org for a year, the

encounter and interview

made me have a differentperspective on being a tech

guy. Instead of thinking of it

as a boring job, only clicking

stuff, I now see it as a way tohelp people understand God's

word for them in a more

creative and enticing way. I

do not have regrets joining

Mig Poncos Reflection..

Participating in this organizationwas a great experience for me. Thischallenged me to be more aware ofthe small things that make up the

services. With this, I realize thatwithout the little things no onenotices, many things would not bepossible. Being with this org gaveme a greater sense of responsibility.

I was responsible to click thepowerpoint prepared. Even thoughthis may seem small, without this,the service would have beenunorganized. I hope to be able tolend my hand again to the people in
