Do the Word

How timely! A full article in the 9/12 New York Times detailing how older people are congregating on social networking sites especially built for them. Especially if you’re doing ministry with older adults, you’ll want to check out this link:

Greg Stier and his team at www.dare2share.org and I have been working on a transformational giving strategy that I think nicely illustrates the point we discuss at the seminar that we need to encourage “multimedia-ism” (engaging our champions in a variety of media, online and off, in order to increase their long-term value and retention):

Thanks to Kirsten Grubb from www.pacific-lifeline.com (who attended the Long Beach seminar) for this great link to a site offering a free e-book on using the Internet for advocating causes:

Kirsten notes that it’s not a 1:1 crossover to Christian ministry champion development using Web 2.0, but, man, it’s pretty darn close.

 Thanks, Kirsten! And if you see a great link related to something that we talked about at the seminar, do let me know.
