Communication grows more complex everyday. The advent of global visual media, precipitated by television, movies and the internet is challenging the churches ability to effectively communicate. There is a massive cultural shift towards the visual over and against the oral and textual, and it continues to accelerate. Increasingly, to engage your audience means creating a visual story experience. In a world being addressed through picture and image the church can ill afford to not better understand the visual revolution and use it to proclaim Jesus and Scripture. The Visual Story Network is a ministry that arrives just in time to mobilize the church towards collaboration and action in a field that has had too little attention. By helping empower the talent of visual story artists around the world and harnessing the global distribution channels that the church possesses the Visual Story Network could be the catalyst for one of the most significant spiritual movements of the early 21st century. Clyde Taber has been uniquely prepared to facilitate this strategic initiative. His rich background in global missions, insight and passion for the visual arts and networking talent have positioned him to be the chief advocate and architect for the Visual Story Network.

New Media will shape the world in which we live, the reality is turning out far stranger and more interesting than we might have imagined. The social implications of this change could be staggering."
