Competition between missionaries is an opinion from David Cox, a full time missionary since 1983 about competition that I have seen between missionaries.

Missionary Calling: 7 Ways to Identify your Calling
In this brief video, Tara Sophia Mohr (not identified as a Christian) speaks in general about identifying your calling in life.
See video at end of this post…
I would note that this is just a simple motivation type talk where Tara speaks in general to anybody about their calling in life. What I took away from this is that this is exactly what you as a missionary need to understand and present to your potential missionary partners so that they understand your calling. One thing is that you are called (not all missionary candidates are called by the way), and another thing is to communicate that calling to others, especially those that support you, and those that potentially are considering supporting you. This means that you need to highly persuade them of your calling. The elements that Tara presents are very useful in this task.
Using Color correctly in Slide Prentations
First of all, these principles are basic art class principles. Color is extremely useful in presentations, but note that there are some rules to observe.
Most missionary presentations use very few title slides, but some use a background kind of effect with an image within that “frame”, and a title. The frame and title would be where you would apply the principles in this post.
There is a very useful and nice program called VideoScribe that allows you to make a whiteboard type video, where a hand actually draws the image. These color balancing tips come from their website (you don’t have to use their program to follow this tip). I will use there images and add logos of companies to illustrate what they say.

I will summarize the rules here.
