Start making short videos for your church or evangelism
One thing I love about Paul Clifford is that he gives stuff away. He writes in his newsletter, "The first question I ask myself every week is… what can I give away this week?"
A keen advocate of video production, Paul writes: "I created my own product announcement video for Church Video Summer School..."

Storytelling is at the heart of all effective communication.
When someone says, "Let me tell you a little story," it switches something on in our brains. Because we are hard-wired for story. If you preach, lecture, teach, or write without using stories, you are likely reducing the understandability of your message by a factor of 10, and its memorability by a factor of 20.

There's a magazine from my childhood which has hugely influenced my thinking since. Not a comic or storytelling publication. It was WHICH?, the magazine of the pioneering UK consumer group CA. Research is also vital for Christian ministry and evangelism.

Use images always, everywhere, they enhance text and readability
We are wired for visual imagery. An image can express – in a fraction of a second – a mood, a truth, or just an enticement to keep reading a text article. Use them constantly!
Creative commons (i.e. broadly free to use) images can be found through an advanced image search at Google or Flickr. There are also many other sources of free photos, graphics and icons, including Bible images.

Readability for writers - how to test your writing
Communication only happens when the recipient understands the message clearly.
Daily Writing Tips encourages all writers to put their copy through a readability tester. This provides a Flesch-Kincaid Grade level and a Reading Ease score.
Readers Digest built its huge readership with a style that specifies an English level of the average 13-year-old. They also wisely communicate everything with storytelling. You may perhaps recall personalized non-fiction such as 'I am John's heart'.
Wesley would run all his sermons past his maidservant, and simplify the stuff she did not understand.
