Let's talk about retainers. What are the reasons for retaining an agency? One reason for using retainers is access, with the monthly billing you are setting aside time for that agency to work for you.

Branding is a complete system for communicating a company's unique message. Originally it was a mark – or a logo. Ranchers branded their cattle with the ranch logo so it would be easy to identify them. That is the key "easy to identify". A brand is the promise the big idea the Reputation all brought together with emotional connections about the product services.
Depending on the size of the business typically is how their brand is looked at by both clients and owners. Smaller business trade on referrals or strong relationships and visual branding is not as focused on. This is where developing a brand can help push your business to the top of mind when clients have a need. Branding is the visual reference that connects all of the value your business brings to you customers and clients. This along with your unique value that can bring clients based on an overall feel of how your business helps them.
All the touch points: Logo, identity System, Print, web media & signs are where your image needs to consistent and show the same values that you bring to your clients. With the right visuals and design elements along with photographs perception can become reality.
When looking to have your logo designed a good designer will want to understand your business. What does your customer service, product and product quality look like? How do the employees meet customer's expectations? What is unique and compelling about your business? This and much more goes into the logo and identity design.
Once the designer has a clear understanding of the business environment and how they bring products and services to the market then designs can be produced. Typically the designer will produce 6 to 12 versions with color options. The deign must take into consideration the different media the logo will be used on. Many designers make this pretty full color picture that can only be printed on a full sheet of paper. That type of logo is not very effective in communicating your brand. Logo needs to be able to print in one color and even black and white. Also it need to be able to fit on promotional products and be able to produce at the lowest cost. Be careful of a landscape and portrait version. That will dilute the brand.
Whether it's a catalog introducing a new product line, a magazine to reach a specific audience or a marketing or direct mail piece, print is still a strong component of any marketing mix. There are many advantages to creating marketing campaigns that carry brand identity and positioning on all supporting materials. From branded promotional products to printed collateral, the choices are endless to creating the ultimate strategy to stay top-of-mind with customers.
Two key elements to every marketing campaign are message and design, but the quality of the accompanying product, giveaway or promotional piece can make a long lasting impression with your audience. According to Sageworks, "Sales growth has been fairly constant over the past five years at somewhere between 3 and 5 percent, for printed materials thus showing that the industry is still growing its revenue." The power of print marketing is reflected in nearly everything we touch and see, whether it's a business card, billboard, flyer or a wall calendar. Print increases the visibility of businesses and organizations and provides instantaneous engagement and recognition.
No matter what your stance is on the sensitive subject that is global warming, we can all agree on one thing… We LOVE our Planet. This one-of-a-kind, beautiful Earth is ours, and therefore our responsibility to keep clean, sustainable and healthy. The inhabitants of this amazing planet are also mass consumers. So how do we blend these ways of modern life, while taking care of our planet? We must also ask the question, is it even important to said consumers? Marketing research says absolutely.
An ASI Study showed that being Eco-Friendly Marketing does play a part in the decision making process to purchase goods and services. Environmentally friendly products leave a better impression with consumers, almost half actually*. Over 55% of the millennial generation is willing to pay more for products and services that are committed to positive environmental impact**. This type of forward thinking can lead to brand loyalty in young consumers, practically ensuring a customer for life.
Today's consumers are being eco-friendly without even trying. When it comes to throwing away or passing on promotional products, over 63% of Canadian and American citizens are giving these marketing items to someone else or recycling their goods instead of choosing the trash*. These smart decisions not only are pro-Earth but provide continued brand exposure.
In today's market, eco-friendly materials are very accessible and more affordable than ever. In apparel, look for materials like hemp, organic cotton and wool. Houseware products that are made from bamboo, a highly renewable material, are best for mother Earth. When researching any marketing collateral, whether promotional, packaging or print, be sure to look for key descriptive words such as biodegradable, 100% recyclable, "raw" materials and Kraft paper.
These featured products are the perfect example of beautiful, eco-friendly items readily available.

We partner with our clients to develop marketing campaigns and print collateral including branded direct marketing, awareness programs and integrated marketing solutions. Most recently, Proforma worked with a large financial agency to create a multi-faceted print campaign to invite customers to inquire about available services that weren't being utilized. The organization needed a fresh new look for all their printed products and wanted Proforma to oversee everything from the concept branding and design to the final product.
The client decided they wanted to send customers an innovative direct marketing piece. Their overall concept was Ideas in your Head and wanted to increase awareness of their financial planning services. Proforma suggested using Proview see-through postcards. On the postcard was an X-ray of a skull with a note card pinned to the head saying, "{Your financial plan}… Is it just in your head?" The postcard also informed bank customers that an invitation to a small group session would arrive shortly, where they could enjoy food and beverages while learning how to update and improve their financial planning.
Additionally, Proforma provided branded Brown Kraft envelopes to hold the postcard. Each envelope was stamped in big red and yellow letters with the words, "X-Ray Film Please Do Not Bend." To complement the project, Proforma supplied branded brain-shaped stress relievers bearing the slogan, "Is it just in your head?" to be given to customers who attended the small group sessions onsite.
The client loved everything about the campaign, from the intriguing mailing envelopes to the 'brainy' stress balls. The campaign was a hit with clients, too. With the success of this project, Proforma continues to work regularly with the financial agency on all their marketing and branding campaigns.

Creative Brainstorming Sessions Create Infinite Possibilities
5 Tips for Brainstorming Success
Getting creative isn't always easy, especially when you're trying to force the innovative ideas to come. As difficult brainstorming may be, there is always going to be a need for developing creative ideas. When the time comes again that you're required to 'get creative' don't just stare at that blank piece of paper, follow these quick tips to get the creative juices flowing so you can brainstorm a brilliant idea.
Write it down. No matter how corny, silly or plain stupid you think the idea might be, writing those flops down will help lead you down the path to a better idea. Plus, it'll help you keep track of what you've already ruled out, and leave a nice drawing board for your next brainstorming session.
Google it. In those instances when you have no clue where to start, it helps to look at what others have done in the past. Be careful not to outright take their ideas, but gaining some inspiration from others' success and understanding the best direction to go is always a great start.
Sleep on it. You may not always have time for this, but some of your greatest ideas probably come when you're away from your desk, focusing on something completely different. Once you feel you're hitting a wall with creativity, take a step back and work on something else. Check back in later once you are refreshed and can focus.
Start with what you like. It's hard to get enthusiastic for something you don't care about. If you're having a hard time getting excited about your ideas, try thinking of what inspires you, what catches your attention and what you enjoy most. This way of thinking will help lead you down a more exciting and creative path.
Try it out. Once you've been working on a creative project for a while, ideas may start to blend together. Keep your project on track by bouncing ideas off a few team members. See what works, what doesn't and what seems to garner the most positive responses. Although their feedback is great, it's important to remember that your coworkers do not represent your entire audience!
Developing creative ideas does not have to be a painful endeavor. By following these tips, you'll have those creative juices flowing in no time.

Today when people are bombarded with multiple messages all day via email, internet, TV, Radio, TV and streaming content, design of your logo is highly important. Prospects and customers make a quick judgment of the quality of your product and service based on many factors. One is logo design and how it make them feel. Look at Apple, the logo is iconic but very simple. It can be duplicated in one color and on many types of surfaces. Logo design is very important to gaining trust of new customers and relating to them what your product is.
The Richmond Trails Foundation logo designed by Darrin Higgins for Storefront's Design Session services. The Richmond Trails Foundation a nonprofit wanted a simple look, one color that speaks to trails and nature. It is one color so it can be reproduced on many surfaces at low cost and has a "logo bug" component that will help with branding promotional items and signs.
One thing to be careful of is using too many colors. Sierra Nevada Brewing can get away with it on their labels and some promotional items. The logo stands out and is very well designed. But you must budget for the additional printing cost that comes with a complex logo.
The Peterson Nutrition screams of low budget. It is very busy and the figure is not compelling. The same with Pro-Tec Steel, it needs some work.
Businesses that have logos designed more than 20 years ago should look at an update. Since the internet is a great place to showcase your business you need to have first and lasting impression. Proforma works with clients to design logos for print, promotional products and websites. The process takes you through your objectives how you will be using the logo and how many colors. We will supply several iterations to choose from and set up a stationary package of Letterhead, business cards and envelopes. We work with the client to select paper and ink colors. Keep in mind a startup business needs a great identity to get early name and brand recognition.
85% of adults use the internet to research products and services. The internet is the place to highlight your products and services. But, there are a lot of businesses doing the same thing. It is crowded and confused place for consumers. Getting your message out and engaging prospects to move them along the process from prospects to clients is key.

The next part of web engagement is to draw customer in. The goal of web engagement is to engage your clients through multiple online avenues. Social media campaigns and having robust content on Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Google+ is a portion of engaging.

Sacramento State's Joe Eberhard (15), Mikh McKinney (13), John Dickson (11) and Cody Demps (10) all scored in double figures to help lead the Hornets to a 67-58 home win over North Dakota in a Big Sky Conference men's basketball game Thursday evening at the Nest.
The Hornets learned their starting point guard, Dylan Garrity, would not play about 10 minutes before the game when the sophomore suffered a back injury during pregame warmups. Garrity had started all 16 games prior to tonight and is averaging 12.3 points and 5.1 assists per game. The injury did not deter the Hornets, however, as senior Julian Demalleville filled in admirably, finishing with two points, three rebounds, five assists, two blocked shots and two steals without a turnover in a career-high 35 minutes. In fact, Demalleville had never played more than 22 minutes in a game prior to tonight.
Sacramento State started the game sluggishly, missing nine of its first 13 field goal attempts while committing six turnovers over that span. That allowed North Dakota (7-11, 4-5) to jump out to a 24-12 lead with 9:01 to play. However, it was all Sacramento State after that. The Hornets closed the final 8:36 of the half on an 18-6 run to go into halftime tied, 30-30.
Sacramento State then opened the second half on a 12-2 run and took a 42-32 lead with 10:18 remaining. In fact, the Hornets went on a 30-8 run over parts of both the first and second halves to take control of the game. North Dakota missed 10 of its first 11 field goal attempts of the second half and didn't score until Josh Schuler sunk a jumper with 12:25 remaining in the game.
After McKinney converted on a four-point play to give the Hornets the 42-32 lead, Sacramento State led by at least six points the rest of the way. That included a game-high 13-point advantage on a pair of occasions late in the second half. Sacramento State went 11-for-14 from the free throw line over the contest's final 2:17 to help seal the victory.
With the win, the Hornets improved to 9-8 overall and 4-5 in the Big Sky. The team will reach the midway point of the conference season on Saturday night with a home game against Northern Colorado at 7:05 p.m. The victory also allowed Sacramento State to move into a four-way tie for fourth place in the league standings with North Dakota, Northern Arizona and Southern Utah. The 9-8 overall record is the team's best mark after 17 games since the 2005-06 squad was 12-5.
The Hornets, who outscored North Dakota in the second half, 37-28, finished the game shooting 45.5 percent (20-44) from the field, 50.0 percent (6-12) from the three-point line and 75.0 percent (21-28) from the free throw line. They also controlled the glass, outrebounding North Dakota by a whopping 39-22 margin, and limiting UND to just four offensive rebounds.
North Dakota shot below 40 percent from the field in both halves, and finished the game at 37.3 percent (19-51) from the field. Nineteen of the Hornets' 67 points came off the bench.
Eberhard shot 5-of-10 from the field for his season-high 15 points while also grabbing five rebounds in a game-high 36 minutes. Dickson picked up his second career double-double with 11 points and a career-best 12 rebounds, McKinney went 6-for-8 from the free throw line over the final 2:17 of the contest, and Demps' 10 points were a career high as he shot 3-for-6 from the field and 4-for-5 from the free throw line.
Center Konner Veteto added seven points and five rebounds, and Joey Quigley posted career highs in both rebounds (8) and minutes (30). Demalleville, Demps and Quigley all recorded career highs in minutes.
For North Dakota, Troy Huff (24) and Aaron Anderson (14) combined for 38 of the team's 58 points. Huff also grabbed nine rebounds, and Schuler added nine points. Mitch Wilmer and Lenny Antwi both fouled out late in the second half.
Tonight began a stretch that will see Sacramento State play five of six games at home.
NOTES -- The Hornets improved to 3-0 when wearing their gold jerseys this year, and are now 30-13 when wearing the gold dating back to 2003…the team also wore gold in 2003-04, 2004-05, and 2005-06.

AH, what a cutie!
Molly-Mai Hall is all smiles for the camera in her Minnie Mouse dress as she takes the title of Birmingham's bonniest baby.
Readers voted in their thousands to make the two-year-old tot from Rubery the winner of the Birmingham Mail Baby of the Year 2011 competition.
Mum Lisa Bryan, aged 22, said: "I was over the moon when I heard. I couldn't stop smiling. Molly-Mai's excited too.
"She a lovely girl, very caring. Everybody who knows her loves her.
"She's a very deserving winner. She loves mothering children and she's always helping me in the house – polishing, vacuuming and changing nappies. She's a little old woman!"
As overall winner, Molly-Mai wins a raft of prizes for her family including £500 cash, a £100 Pallasades voucher and family tickets to Thinktank and the Sealife Centre.
Lisa, who has since split from Molly-Mai's dad Michael Hall, said she planned to spend the money on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Disneyland Paris for Molly-Mai and her little sister Minnie.
Also wowing voters with their sunny smiles and cheeky personalities were Kaydon-Jay Karim, aged six months, and Bradley Arthur Ordidge, aged 15 months, who came top in their age categories.
They each win £125 cash plus a £50 Pallasades voucher and a framed photo.
Kaydon-Jay's mum Demi McCalla, aged 18, of Ketley Croft, said she would spend the winnings on a new pushchair and baby clothes.
"I feel really proud of him," she said. "But even if he hadn't won, he'd still be my baby of the year!"
Bradley's mum Kayleigh Blackford, aged 21, of Redditch, said: "My mum and nan were here when we heard the news. We'd been waiting by the phone for hours. It was lovely when we got the call. We had a little drink.
"Bradley's so beautiful, he's always making us laugh with the expressions he pulls. He blows kisses and he loves giving cuddles. He's definitely a charmer."
The competition ran from June 21-23 and attracted 1,333 entrants.

Dr. Kathleen Sherwood
I am originally from Philadelphia, PA, and graduated with a B.A. in psychology from Temple University. My background prior to becoming a chiropractor included working with brain injured and cognitive challenged individuals. Unfortunately, throughout high school, college and my early career, I suffered from episodic headaches as well as secondary stomach pain from taking over-the-counter medication to "control" the headaches. This didn't align with my health/wellness philosophy that I was forming since becoming a vegetarian at the age of fourteen, yet the headaches were painful and I felt I had no choice. After not finding a solution for my headaches through the typical medical route, I finally discovered chiropractic through a close friend who went regularly. After a few weeks of receiving chiropractic care, I began having fewer and fewer headaches of much less intensity. I was so relieved and amazed at the results and found my professional calling after experiencing my body's ability to heal itself.
I moved to Atlanta to attend Life Chiropractic University and completed a Doctorate of Chiropractic in 1994. After graduating, I opened my family practice in the DeKalb County/Emory area. I LOVE my life as a chiropractor and consider it a calling. To regain health, it is vital to make sure your nervous system is functioning properly. It is amazing to see how the human body returns to health when you remove the block to that healing. Chiropractic holds the key!
Dr. Sherwood lives in the Decatur area, with her daughter Eva (recent UGA student), son Mateo, two dogs, two cats, cockatiels, and four chickens. She enjoys teaching strategies for minimizing supplementation by eating a whole-food based, anti-inflammatory diet and the importance of FUN in day-to-day life. Her hobbies include weekly hikes, yoga, water-rowing and mindfulness. Dr. Sherwood is active in the Decatur Business Association, as well as Emory and DeKalb area non-profit organizations.
Dr. Richard Cohen
I am originally from Montego Bay, Jamaica, but moved to New York to attend Binghamton University in 2004. After 3 years in a pre-med program, I became conflicted about continuing because the focus was on sickness instead of HEALTH. Serendipitously, a close college friend of mine told me about chiropractic and the philosophy that our bodies have the intelligence to heal, grow and maintain ourselves once interference to those processes is removed. A spark was ignited and I knew that a profession that enabled me to care for patients with my hands, without drugs or surgery was the career and lifestyle I was looking for. As a result, I bee-lined to LIFE University in Atlanta, GA in the Fall of 2008 to start my chiropractic journey.
I then met my beautiful wife Lena, who is from Germany, while a chiropractic student and we now have three Germ-aican children! Lora and Noah are 6 and 4 years old respectively and our new addition, Mia, was born in February of 2016! I enjoy playing tennis, chess and Nintendo Wii games with my family. I also enjoy brisk (but short) runs as I was formerly a sprinter in high school.
We moved to Decatur on December 1, 2015 to maximize the opportunity to be a part of the incredible team at Sherwood Chiropractic Center and live in the vibrant and diverse community ITP!
Dr. Jacob Minor
I hail from Milwaukee, Wisconsin where I began my life in service working as a live in care assistant for victims of traumatic brain injuries. At that time I also studied martial arts which took me to many parts of the world and opened my mind to the potentials of the human form and mind. I evolved my work into massage therapy after studying therapeutic massage in Milwaukee. While working as a massage therapist I began to also work as an x-ray technologist for a chiropractor in Waukesha, Wisconsin. After several years of observing the wonders that chiropractic helped people accomplish and seeing the results of chiropractic care in myself as well as my own family, I enrolled into Life Chiropractic College in Marietta Georgia. I Graduated in 2015 with the Distinction in Chiropractic Philosophy. I am eager to serve you all in your journey to a healthier and more whole self.
Sherwood Chiropractic Center was recognized among Atlanta's Best Chiropractors for four years in a row, in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 by Expertise and Best Decatur Business.

TWELV's latest fashion story portrays the metamorphic evolution of natural beauty, Ukrainian model YEVA PODURIAN.
PODURIAN subtly expresses comfort in her femininity as she poses in fitted Altuzarra pieces and a printed dress with heeled buckle boots; yet explores her freedom thorough masculine stances, blazers and a tailored head-to-toe Altuzarra look.
There is purity in simplicity and organically coming full circle with awareness of one's sense of self. PODURIAN demonstrates she has nothing to prove—she blossoms in all of the ensembles symbolizing the yin and yang of individuality, shedding both gender roles and beauty standards.
She ensembles the woman we wish to be—accepting the present moment and welcoming the future head-on, with open arms and wide eyes.

Today, Kendall and Kylie Jenner released a Kendall + Kylie limited edition vintage t-shirt collection. But the tops, which are retailing for $125, have sparked a bit of controversy, because it looks like the Jenners' faces and the brand's logo have been printed over the shirts' original artwork—which includes images of rap artists Tupac and Biggie, plus album art from Metallica, Pink Floyd, and more.
The designs have led some to express criticism on Twitter and in the comments of the line's Instagram account:
The biggest points of contention: that arbitrary price point, the shirts' decidedly faux vintage styling, and of course, the audacity of putting either Jenner sister's face over music legends', particularly non-white ones.
Neither Kylie nor Kendall has commented on this via social media, though they've both posted about the line on their accounts:
Regardless of the controversy, the line seems to be selling steadily. As Fashionista noted, a Biggie/Tupac "Trust Nobody" top featuring Kendall's face is marked "Low Stock" right now:

Java quest: 'Lost' coffee found on Réunion island
Posted by TheShot on 14 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Beans
I've written before about how my personal rediscovery of the Maui Moka bean at the 2006 WRBC was, at least for me, something akin to finding a live dodo…or at least a ceolecanth. But a coffee that was presumed extinct for four years is one thing. One that has been presumed extinct for over 50 years is quite another: asahi.com : Weekend Beat/ Java quest: 'Lost' coffee found on island – ENGLISH.
In the 18th century, the French harvested the Bourbon Pointu bean variety — a mutant of the Bourbon variety, coffea laurina — on Réunion island (then called Bourbon island), some 500 miles off the eastern coast of Madagascar. Its sweet taste, delicate aroma, low bitterness, and low caffeine (half of a typical arabica bean) were supposedly enjoyed by the likes of Louis XV and novelist Honore de Balzac. However, after a series of devastating cyclones that hit the island, the last recorded shipment of the bean arrived in France in 1942.
It hadn't been seen since. Then in 1999, Yoshiaki Kawashima — an employee of Japanese coffee company UCC — came to Réunion island in search of the varietal. (Last month we wrote about UCC's Japanese anime canned coffee marketing campaign.) Working with the locals, Mr. Kawashima rediscovered the varietal in 2001. UCC has since partnered with Réunion island workers to redevelop the crop.
A couple months ago, UCC made their first release of Bourbon Pointu: some 2,000 packages, each weighing 100 grams, available for purchase in Japan. Costing as much as $270-a-pound (no civet poop required), the lot sold out instantly in a country known for consuming rare novelties.

A bearish NOPA Crush report caused another price break for old crop soybeans. Corn and wheat settled relatively unchanged. No change to the current market outlook, appears old crop pricing will remain range-bound for now.
May soybeans settled 9 ½ cents lower at $14.26 while November soybeans finished 1 ¼ cents higher. The heavy bear-spreading was a direct result of the NOPA crush which came in 5 million bushels less than the average guess. Feb crush was at 136.3 million and oil stocks were 2.79 bln lbs. For the fact that the "managed money" is holding sizable net long soybean/soymeal positions and very sizable net short soyoil positions, it made sense were we closed today –sharply lower soybeans, lower meal, and sharply higher soyoil. We have seen this same action in wheat, they are massively short and the short covering rally has helped support a small rebound.
Corn and wheat are still trading near par which in my eyes will continue to support wheat demand for feed. Interestingly wheat open interest went down on short covering yesterday while corn had a 23,000+ contract spike, mostly going into the May and July contracts. We have seen it before when money starts flowing in it can support certain markets regardless of what we believe in opposing fundamentals. While the wheat feeding story may ultimately result in a higher corn carryout on September first, we want to watch fund position changes. For now we do expect it to hold its 2013 range with first upside resistance just above where we are now at the 100 and 200 day moving averages of $7.21 ½ and $7.23.
May 2013 Corn
Our long term outlook remains bearish for new crop pricing and we want to use these "dead cat bounces" to make those additional hedges where necessary. December corn basically settled on its trendline resistance.
December 2013 Corn
We want to remain hedged but still allow for plenty of upside should any weather problems arise. Please contact us with any questions or to review your current marketing plan in our proprietary farm management marketing software - AgYield. Have a happy St. Patrick's Day!

text: Prior to the Uruguay Round and the creation of the WTO in 1994, countries would often settle international trade disputes informally by agreeing to have the exporting country voluntarily limit exports to set levels. These voluntary export restraint agreements (VRAs) were heavily criticized at the time for, inter alia, distorting trade flows, creating economic inefficiency and undermining the rules-based international trading system. Responding in part to these criticisms, the WTO's Safeguards Agreement banned the use of informal measures like VRAs, hoping to encourage aggrieved countries in trade disputes to resort to formal trade remedies like safeguards. If creating greater adherence to a rules-based system and minimizing economic distortions was the goal of the VRA ban, then the ban has failed to achieve its purpose. This article makes the argument for legalizing VRAs under the supervision of the WTO. First, safeguards cause economic distortions on at least the same scale as VRAs. Second, safeguards have failed to emerge as the favored remedy in trade disputes. Instead, countries still tend to resort to antidumping duties, which cause far greater economic inefficiencies than either VRAs or safeguards. Third, because the WTO agreements are intergovernmental agreements, they are not binding on private parties, leaving room open for private companies to negotiate private VRAs outside the realm of public scrutiny. Finally, unlike the currently available trade remedies, VRAs can provide temporary protection to countries facing import surges while compensating exporting countries directly for lost opportunities.

Margaret & Jason found me online and we only chatted a few times on the phone before we met on their wedding day. I loved the simplicity and vision for their wedding day. Little did I know that all three of us were from the state of Washington and they attended my college rival University of Washington (I attended Washington State University). It's probably a good thing I didn't disclose my alma mater prior to them hiring me because the rivalry is fierce between our schools.
Margaret is a doctor but more closely identifies with being a scientist. Jason & she had his brother, a jeweler in Seattle, design their rings based on their wedding theme of getting married at the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. They asked for a ring that looked like tentacles and Margaret had yet to see the rings until our first look and photos. I just love her reaction!!! They are priceless and their rings are so unique!!!

World Shine Ministries was founded in 2000 by Medad and Connie Birungi as Swallow Evangelistic Revival Ministries, with a burden of sharing the love of Jesus Christ in word and need to restore hope to the hopeless thus transforming communities from sin, poverty, injustice, abuse, ignorance, illiteracy and disease. WSM desires to reveal the truth of God's unconditional love through Jesus Christ to the people. It exists to raise Godly men and women to lead Uganda and Influence the nations for Christ. WSM is governed by a Board of Directors.
In February 1987, there was a Makerere University Mission led by Bishop Festo Kivengere, the Bishop of the Diocese of Kigezi and co-founder of African Evangelistic Enterprise. During that mission three dramatic things happened to Medad; first Bishop Festo Kivengere called Medad as one of the enthusiastic evangelists and university student Christian leader and talked and prayed with him. Medad recalls, "He looked me in the eye and said, I am sick with leukaemia and have a few months to live, how I wish you could take up the stick of revival and run with it so that I don't die with it". Medad agreed to take the mantle of evangelism and keep revival moving in the footsteps of bishop Kivengere and others who have gone to be with the Lord. Bishop Kivengere is his hero and mentor.
Medad was baptised in the Holy Spirit during this mission and spoke in tongues for more than three hours and his prayer life and vision changed. Medad had the passion, purpose and now he got the power that has since propelled his ministry and gifting. The Holy Spirit came with various gifts of the Holy Spirit including healing and deliverance which normally accompany Medad's power of evangelism. It also opened him up to work with Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches without difficulty and started promoting unity.
Jesus visited him in his room in a vivid vision and commanded him to start an evangelistic ministry. WSM was founded after an experience of a supernatural visitation from the Lord on 9th February 1987 at Makerere University in Kampala. The Lord visited him in his room at Complex Hall (CCE) at 9:30 and in a glorious way accompanied by angels singing Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty. In that vision experience, the Lord told Medad, "Medad, I am calling you to be an evangelist; if you obey me and do my work, I will bless you, bless your family through you, bless your village, Kigezi, western Uganda and Bless Uganda through you. I will bless Africa through you and will finally bless the world through you." The Lord told him to start and evangelistic ministry and issued him with the call to take the uncompromising message of the love of Jesus Christ across the world and call on His bride to prepare herself.
Medad started Kigezi Anglican Youth Missioners in 1987 at Makerere University that first ministered diocese and Bishop Festo Kivengere, who was also a co-founder of African Evangelistic Enterprise, was the first Patron.It started doing evangelistic work extensively in Kigezi until 1993 when it became Kigezi Ankole Youth Missioners (KAAYM) and ministered in all the dioceses of former Kigezi and Ankole districts. In 1995 it was formed into Uganda Anglican Youth Missioners and ministered extensively in Uganda until 2000.
In 2000 Swallow Evangelistic Ministries was formed as God visited Medad again and charged him to start a ministry that will minister extensively in Uganda, where it worked with churches of all backgrounds without any discrimination to denomination. It was privileged to participate in and study the transformational work of God in the nation of Uganda, and to gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles involved in the dynamics of transforming revivals, God's dealings with nations, and their destinies. However, it was misunderstood by the Anglican diocese of Kigezi as the word "Swallow" was misinterpreted to mean "swallowing the church" and in 2002 the name was dropped by the board. In 2002, the Ministry was revived by Medad and Connie Birungi, Kenneth Karyaija, Benson Mugyenyi and Robert Erone, under the name World Shine Ministries with its headquarters in Kampala and registered as a none-governmental and none-profit Company without guarantee, a charity. World Shine Foundation, a charity, was formed by Flora Mackenzie, Kenneth Karyaija and Benson Mugyenyi, in Glasgow Scotland in the United Kingdom to support it financially.
The Lord led the Ministry into local and International Missions to reach out to the Church in the nations. Since then its work has spread across the world touching all 6 continents of the world, and establishing a presence in several countries. It is currently registered as a legal entity in Uganda and UK, and is recognized as a vital part of God's working in America, Canada, Finland, Singapore, South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria, Sieraleone, Tanzania, Malawi and Burundi, among others.
In 2012 when Rev.Medad became 50 years old God visited him again and told him that on his Golden Jubilee, he was giving him 50 cities in Uganda, 50 cities in Africa, 50 cities in Europe with 50 cities in the UK, 50 cities in Asia and 50 Cities in America. He gave him a dream of 50 years; by 2062 WSM should have reached, raised and released 50 cities in Uganda and 50 cities in each continent into their destiny. In 2014 the Board of Directors of WSM unanimously agreed to change the name from World Shine Ministries to World Shine Evangelistic Ministries.
The Dream for WSM 2062 is the DREAM of:
A ministry where the hurting, the depressed, frustrated and the confused can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance and encouragement. Sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with the hundreds of thousands of people in 50 cities in Uganda, 50 cities in Africa, 50 cities in Europe, 50 cities in America and 50 cities in Asia. Reach, Raise and release cities into their destiny.
Welcoming 20,000 members into the WSM fellowship of our Church Family – Loving, learning, laughing and living in harmony together.Developing people to Spiritual maturity through Bible Studies, Small groups, Seminars, Retreats, and a Bible School for our members. Equipping every believer for a significant Ministry by helping them discover the gifts and talents God gave them. Sending out hundreds of career missionaries and church workers all around the world and empowering every member for a personal life mission in the World.
Acquiring 50 acres of land to build a mission centre with beautiful, yet simple facilities including; a convetion centre sitting thousands, a counselling and prayer centre, An inter-denominational Bible College/Seminary training pastors, Lay-Ministers, Youth and children leaders, a recreation centre, primary, secondary and vocational school, the 7 mountain university and a women and children's hospital. All of this will be designed to Minister to the total person: Spiritually, emotionally, physically, and socially-Reaching, Raising and Releasing People into their destiny and the students into the 7 mountains of the influence in society.
In the year 2015, WSM will be making 15 years since its founding in 2000. It was felt by the current leadership, that this was a good time to pause and reflect on the past, present and the future of the Ministry, and makes the necessary changes and adjustments in order to become maximally fruitful as a ministry. Among the desired changes, is the need to create a more cohesive leadership system ranging from a global Board of Directors, a global Executive Committee, National Governing Councils, and other structures that would connect and coordinate the global work in a better way.
