In March of 2017 I accepted a “solemn appointment” to work for The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod’s mission in Spain as a communications specialist. I started raising over $150,000 in June of ’17 and decided to come up with my own personalized brand to communicate what I was doing and illustrate its value. My Facebook page has over 200 followers (mostly people I know personally). My Instagram account has over 700 followers (mostly people I don’t know).
These are some images I made for social media posts. All of the pictures are taken by me, and my aim was to help inform people on how they could support me and the mission. I made these before I landed on the Prayer Warrior, Mission Champion, and Financial Supporter roles. People sensed that I was “soliciting,” and that made them uncomfortable. Often times people would just donate $100 and want to be done. Any gift is great obviously, but there was usually so much more a person could do.
For the last square I was looking for an Arabic inspired font and couldn’t find one that I liked, so I created my own.
