Documentary Subject

This is Sway Velilla, he is a pastor that preaches at BCM: The Journey here at IUSB and BCM at Notre Dame. He also works at Notre Dame in the skating rink as a Zamboni driver. He is planting(starting) a church, in his apartment.

If I was to do a documentary on Sway, I would interview him about church planting and how it works. This would be very interesting because not many people have heard of church planting before. This would be a good way to encourage or empower people to go out and do things for the Lord.

1. When did you get saved/ baptized?

2. How did you get into ministry?

3. What made you want to start planting a church?

4. How is your church service currently structured?

5. How did you start the process? Do you receive any funding, donations, or help from anybody?

6. What is your attendance like?

7. How is this experience for you and your family?

8. What impact do you think your church has on the community around you?

9. Do you ever plan on doing ministry overseas?

10. How do you see your church in the future? 5 years from now? 10 years from now?
