Public invited to participate in world’s first online video Bible.
Beginning this past Monday, individuals from around the nation and the world can participate in the first-ever online video Bible. They can simply film themselves reading or quoting Scripture passages and then upload their videos to the new “I Am Not Ashamed” campaign Web site, http://www.iamnotashamed.org/.
The campaign launched simultaneously online and on television, with commercial spots featuring participants quoting Bible verses. These individuals come from all walks of life—different backgrounds, nationalities, political affiliations, ages, gender, and culture—but hold in common a respect and appreciation for the relevance of God’s Word in today’s culture. These commercial spots run nationally on the Fox News Channel, FoxNews.com, and MSNBC.com March 1-April 25.
A national print and billboard component of the campaign will quote specific verses that address the issues of the day. These began running in USA Today Mar. 1. Stand-alone Scriptures on the topics of abortion, marriage, and the place of faith in God in the public sphere, are quoted following the introduction, “The Bible speaks for itself…,” concluding with a link to the campaign’s Web site for more information.
The outdoor media component, similar in concept, will enable local churches and other interested groups to sponsor billboards in their area, incorporating the organization’s name and a link to the I Am Not Ashamed Web site. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the blogosphere will all be used to help drive participation in the campaign.
The theme for the campaign is “I am not ashamed of the Word of God” (2 Timothy 2:15; Romans 1:16). The focus will be on the authority of the Bible, which speaks for itself. The campaign will highlight the mutual respect and appreciation that the large majority of the public has for the Bible as the Word of God. Participants will read from the NASB version of the Scriptures to create the world’s first online video Bible in a very clear and understandable format.
Drawing on the promise in Isaiah 55:11 that God’s Word won’t return void, iamnotashamed.org hopes to renew Americans’ trust in Scripture as a foundation for their lives. Built around a common belief in the Bible, the campaign is designed to promote grassroots participation in the social media space. More information and instructions for participating are available online at http://www.iamnotashamed.org/.
