press release
IMAGO’s VANCOUVER ARTS NETWORK (VAN)

The Vancouver Arts Network is a new Imago project being developed to help create a network of artists and arts groups in the Vancouver area. Imago is a Toronto-based arts umbrella that facilitates the production and presentation of works by Christian artists. Consistent with Imago’s mission statement, the Vancouver team will endeavour to ‘exercise a biblically-based influence on the encouragement of the arts and artists’ in this region. This will be done through showcase events, study groups, lectures, performances and advocacy for the arts.

On a national level, the project will become a vital link between the arts in Vancouver and Toronto, facilitating the exchange of ideas, resources and personnel, as well as providing an important Imago presence in BC.

The Vancouver Arts Network (VAN) will be led by Rob Des Cotes, a pastor and professional musician who has been active in theology and the arts for many years. Rob is also the director of the ManiFest Arts Group (www.manifestarts.com). Present board members include Elizabeth Gladden, Dale Bishop and Scott Campbell.

Some upcoming events for the Vancouver Arts Network include a July ‘coming out’ party, and a weekend Festival of the Arts scheduled for Sept. 28-30, 2001. You can subscribe to VAN's e-mail list at omegapro@direct.ca.

PANIC SQUAD – Improv Troupe from Richmond, BC. theboys@panicsquad.com Says Clifford, “...We call ourselves a SuperHumanComedy Improv team, because by the grace of God we are taking back the laughter that was stolen by the author of destruction... We have performed most often for youth (retreats etc.) however, we are comfortable in all settings - all ages/churches/schools/ corporate/secular. We make great partners in an outreach setting, but we are also confident to stand alone. Whatever it be, we are quite flexible - we do Improv...go figure.”

Helping to Expand your Ministry

Are you looking to find a way to get your ministry noticed more? Do you have an informational or promotional VHS video for your ministry? What about taking that video, putting it on a CD and being able to send it out to interested people at a fraction of the cost of production and mailing of VHS tapes? Don’t have an informational ‘anything’? Let us help take your pictures, slides or videos and put them together and make one up for you!

RJC Video has transferred and / or produced information CD’s for ministries such as Oasis Retreats (a ministry of Campus Crusade) and Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. They have benefited greatly by being able to get their information in the hands of a much greater number of people at a fraction of the cost and time of bringing or sending VHS videos around.

I am an ordained Pastor currently working toward my Dr. in inner healing and prayer counseling. To help support ourselves, along with my interest in computers, I would love to be able to help your ministry with this ‘ministry’. Contact me for further information at info@rjcvideo.com or see my web site at www.rjcvideo.com . Volume discounts are available for ministries.

I also have the capability to transfer your Betas, DV8’s or slides / prints to CD or DVD in a movie format.

Thank you for your time and if you know of someone else who could benefit from a service like this, please feel free to forward this e-mail to them.

In His Service, Pastor Russ Ooms
