energizing their sense of touch, sight, hearing and smell.
-
Display photos of
the setting in which you serve.
-
Display

-

area famous for foods, or other products?
-
Is your
area known for a certain type of clothes? (Example: ski resort,
prison)
-
Does
your ministry utilize clowning, other type of costumes or
uniforms that you could wear in a display hall setting?
-
Are
there objects that are highly recognizable with your area?
(Example: St Louis’ Gateway Arch)
-
Are
there demographic figures or other unique facts that could be
shared through interactive computer activities?
-
Display
any mission statement or scripture that your ministry is driven
by.
Take some of the above
elements and display them on a display backdrop. Some of our North
American Missionaries have access to professional display backdrop,
while some will have to construct their own. Here are two simple
ideas for affordable backdrops for any display:
-
Commercial Display Boards are inexpensive, adaptable,
and available at most office supply stores and even retail
stores such as Wal-Mart.
-
Metal Shelving Material is designed for closets and
other at home storage. It can be pricey from some retailers,
however when it comes to adaptability, durability, functionality
and overall attractiveness you can’t beat this material.
Suppliers will cut the material to size for you right at the
store. 3’-4’ panels make a wonderful tabletop backdrop.
Hinge the panels together with plastic cable ties (also found at
builder supplies and most Wal-Mart type stores). Use cable ties
in securing display items to this type of backdrop as well.
