Free for Churches

yet another website - and a truly great one - offering free youth ministry resources:
"A FREE Resource for Youth workers containing numerous Youth ministry Papers, OVER 750 Youth Ministry Games, OVER 500 Ministry Links (Geared Toward Youth Ministry), an 84-page leadership manual, a One-Year Youth Devotional, A Youth Ministry Resource Exchange with OVER 2,700 resources (Lessons, PPT Games, etc.) from other youth pastors & more added daily:"

a great collection of links to quality free youth ministry resources

"Your spot for the best free youth ministry resources!"
A moderate-sized, but growing, site filled with free youth ministry resources. It is interesting its forum-style organization.

"Since 1997, YouthPastor.com has been providing free youth ministry resources for youth pastors, ministers, workers and volunteers. Online resources include a job center, free lessons, a searchable directory of ministries and game ideas."

"FreeYouthMinistry.com exists to network youth pastors in the sharing of ideas, lessons and real life youth ministry resources with each other. We believe the average youth pastor is above average and since the Bible encourages us to share with others it's FREE!"

a great site with lots of high-quality, high-resolution, royalty-free stock photos! Requires registration, which will cause you to get a once-per-month email newsletter.

a popular open-source video editing program. I found the interface clunky and non-obvious, others may appreciate it more.

A stripped-down version of one of the top video editing software programs out there. I also found it to have a rather non-obvious interface. Registration required for download.

"Avid Free DV is feature-streamlined, standalone software which includes basic video and audio editing capabilities, up to two streams of real-time effects and support for both Windows XP and Macintosh OS X platforms."

Luminous is a free projection software designed to meet the needs of a contemporary worship service. It requires a fairly minimal system. And it has a unique feature: the ability to broadcast the image over a network, which opens up the possibility of projecting for confidence monitors, cry rooms, overflow areas, etc. just using a Cat5 network and a client PC in each area.
