    Greetings,
    The women at Mission San Felipe Church in Mexico is starting this study this Thursday. Unfortunately in Mexico, in our area, the internet speed is very slow! Is there any way of downloading the associated videos in the lesson plan ahead of our classes? for example, we want to show this video: Show the following video, “Genesis Creation 2013” (4 minutes, 28
    seconds): https://vimeo.com/68619341. Can you please help? Thanks,
    Pastor Bob Tarasiak

      Hi, Bob. That is not a Gospel Project video, so unfortunately we cannot help with that. The basic Gospel Project materials do not require any videos. The resources on this page are provided as suggested supplements, but are not necessary.
