Well, this might sound a bit manipulative, but I know charities like to use pics of the hungriest, most needful looking children they can find for their commercials. They show all these pics of these children so we will feel compassion for them and reach into our deep American pockets and give. If y'all are trying to raise money with the slide presentation, you might think about showing the extreme side of these voodoo rituals and whatnot that goes on there.
Also, pictures that show how poor people are over there would work too. Kinda like that pic of that church in Paraguay you showed in another thread. Also, you might want to throw out some figures of what different types of buildings cost too. You would be surprised at how many people could singlehandedly come up with enough money to sponsor the building of a church building. After you told me what that one building cost, my wife and I talked about it, and we've decided to do what we can to save up enough money to pay to build at least one church building over there. We may have to wait until tax check time to get it done, but it's something we want to do.
Another thing you could do is show pics of people who have been reached by your ministry. Show their pic, give some details of his/her conversion, etc. That sorta thing.
Anyway, these are just some suggestions off the top of my head.
