“The RoseBouquet”

I’ve just learned about a very interesting way to share testimonies ever so briefly and yet profoundly. It seems to have been going on for a year or more, but I first learned about it yesterday when I followed a link to youtube to see what “Cardboard Testimonies” might be. A whole bunch of people came to the center of a platform, sometimes in twos, and each held up a large square piece of cardboard with a few words in bold marker indicating what their life had been like. They paused long enough for the audience to read the word or words, and then they flipped the cardboard over, and there on the other side were words of complete contrast showing how their lives had changed. Each one waited just long enough for you to read their cardboard testimony and then they walked away and the next person came up.

This is quite a novelty because many people don’t share their testimonies thinking they can’t speak in public, or if they can, they get carried away with their storytelling. This is so simple it is profound.

However, this morning I was trying to find the link to give you and it seems to be lost. Instead I went to Youtube.com and just entered into the search box the words, “Cardboard Testimonies” that brought up a long list of such videos! I was surprised. What I thought was done just once, has been done by quite a number of churches and Christian groups.

If you haven’t seen this yet, I suggest you do a search too, and see how you like it. You might want to suggest it to your church or small group of believers.

Ah, here’s the first link I followed; Cardboard Testimonies
