VIDEO NAME: Young Life Profile | Dolena
LENGTH: 1:57
Note from video services: We made this video as part of a series of videos we did for the Alaska region made possible by a donor in California. The donor gave video services some money to “buy gear.” After much prayer we believed God had other plans for that money so we approached the donor with the idea of “turning your money into more money” by making a video for a region that couldn’t afford a video. Together we selected Alaska. We made the first Alaska regional video and the day we released it publicly it helped raise 5 times what the donor had originally given…again, on the first day it was viewable. Our sweet donor friend couldn’t believe what God had done with his little gift. We did this profile from the footage that was shot for the regional video. It and the other Alaska regional videos represents God taking a donor by the hand and inviting them into the mess of kids lives and making a significant difference beyond what they ever imagined or thought possible.
