Help Japan
Sometimes preachers get seduced by the power of the visual, as if it will make otherwise dull words fascinating – it will not. Other times they ignore it at their peril, thereby disenfranchising many of those who listen to them. There is a place, though, for elegantly understated visual material, as seen in James White’s poster design below.

Like many of us, this gifted designer has watched aghast at the series of calamities rocking the nation of Japan. Not only that, but he has found a way to put his particular talents to work in designing and selling this poster. Isn’t that something we are always urging people to do in the church – making their particular contribution, rather than envying someone else’s?
If you love the image, why not visit the site and order a poster?
So simple but actually really emotive! x
Thanks Holly. Somehow even the two words “help Japan” seem like a lot next to the boldness of the design
