CCI-Russia Leaders Conference - Popular Christian Videos

We've been watching for 10 years now, the impact of Christian Camping Int'l-Russia's leadership training on the work here in Voronezh. This year I attended the conference for the first time myself, and took 2 guys from our leadership team with me, Max and Sergei. I was the only westerner, other than some of the speakers, attending the conference, and as I started considering what was going on around me, and what we've observed over these 10 years of sending leaders to CCI, it occurred to me that I held a unique perspective on the impact of the conference that needed to be shared with people in the U.S. who are helping make these conferences happen, especially in these troubled economic times. I had a small HD-DVD camera with me that a friend gave me for Christmas last year, with which I gathered some footage from the conference, and I brought it home to Sasha Meshkov who edited what you see here. This was a great project for Sasha, challenging him to take his skills to a new level. We met Sasha at the first orphan camp we did here 10 years ago, and last Christmas he showed up in our lives again at the "You Are Not Alone Club". Two months later her moved into our house, and the next month he took my camera, took a bunch of our guys out on the streets of Voronezh, shot a video for Women's Day, came back and edited it in two days, and debuted it for the women at our "8 Marta" (Women's Day) club party. I just recently learned that was his very first video or editing experience. Watch this site for this year's Women's Day video to post soon.
