In our Saturday morning leadership group, we heard in one of the videos we watched with Rick Warren where he shared the importance of doing a testimony almost every week in preaching. From that we decided to do them in video format. We have done only a few so far. Our goal is to do about one every sermon series. (And being that a sermon series for me can range from 4 weeks to 6 weeks on average - this isn't a big bite to chew).
Take a look at our most recent example. We used this video during the Greater Than series I preached back in January 2007.
A lot of guys are going to sites and purchasing videos to be used, and this is okay. Sites like sermonspice.com or worshiphousemedia.com are great resources for this kind of thing. The upside to this is you get a very polished video and it is ready to use. The downside is that it limits your creativity.
When you use people from your own congregation, you automatically engage your church with the video. I think I prefer in-house videos (even though it is much more time consuming and taxing on your resources) the end result is a good feeling and more people are engaged in ministry...which is always a plus!

This looks like a great idea. I may have to steal it from ya.
What an amazing testimony. I'm blown away by this every time I've seen it.
