    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Kay returned from teaching how to use mobile phones in Ghana and Kenya (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.seabourn.org/kay-africa/">click here</a> to read the story). But is mobile a viable platform for discipleship and training?</p>
<p>Here is some good reading on mobile devices. I&#8217;ve put some of my favorite quotes beneath each article link.</p>
<p><strong>1. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2012/02/01/19el-africa.h31.html">Tablets are starting to impact African education</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Africa is the second-largest mobile-phone market in the world behind Asia &#8230; Over the past 10 years, the number of mobile connections in Africa grew an average of 30 percent a year, and the report predicted it would reach 735 million people by the end of this year on a continent with about a billion people. [Note: this would be about 70% of the population.]</p>
<p>USAID recently started an education mobile-phone initiative and last year hosted, in Bethesda, Md., the first International Symposium on Mobiles for Education for Development. The initiative aims to improve access to low-cost mobile technologies for education globally.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important not to oversell the use of mobile technology in Africa. While many people in Africa have mobile phones, many aren&#8217;t smartphones that can access the Internet, she said. Mobile learning, she said, is not going to take the place of traditional teaching methods. &#8230; education with mobile phones in Africa typically involves a student or teacher using his or her own technology and bearing the burden of associated costs, even if those costs are low.</p>
<p>She expects a very low cost tablet to be introduced in the marketplace soon and to explode in Africa. &#8220;I know mobile phones are all over Africa, but I&#8217;m not sure that&#8217;s the right form for education,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The tablets are great.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>2. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.biztechafrica.com/article/mobile-phones-edge-out-internet-cafes/%201816/%20">Mobiles starting to edge out internet cafes in Africa</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Smart mobile phones are slowly edging out internet cafés in Malawi, says a new report.</p>
<p>He said most youths are buying high-tech mobile phones because they want to appear to be ahead of the game in terms of living up to modern trends and fashion.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>3. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/jan/24/orange-wikipedia-mobile-de%20vices-free">Wikipedia will be available on free mobile access in Africa via Orange</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Orange has struck a deal with Wikipedia to make its digital encyclopaedia available free of data charges to millions of mobile phone users across the Middle East and Africa. The mobile phone operator has 70 million customers across Africa and the Middle East.</p>
<p>The ability to access the internet, and websites such as Wikipedia, is currently limited to about 10 million Orange customers who have mobile devices with 2G or 3G capability.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>4. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.telecoms.com/39127/next-billion-mobile-users-to-come-from-develo%20ping-rural-areas/">Next billion mobile users will come from developing rural areas</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Operators can expect to see the next billion mobile connections to come from rural areas in emerging markets, according to analyst Ovum.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>5. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16354076">In 2012, there will be 200 million more mobile users in India</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>The mobile phone will drive internet use in India in 2012. Computing begins with the mobile and its growth is fast in India.</p>
<p>He believes that the increase in smartphone and internet capable phones, selling below $94 and built by Indian manufacturers, is making it easier and more affordable to own such devices.</p>
<p>The other big change when it comes to India and the internet is how people are using the web. With better connections, mobile phones and computers, Indians are increasingly using the internet for more than just checking their email.</p>
<p>In both rural and urban areas, <em>social networking</em> is a key driver of use. The most popular site in India is now <em>Facebook</em>, which in the past six months saw its user base grow by more than a third.</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When I lived in Nigeria in the &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s, few people had a landline telephone. The introduction of  cellphones allowed Africa countries to skip the installation of telephone line infrastructure. I think the growth in smartphones will similarly allow Africans to skip the computer + internet that most of us associate with internet connectivity.</p>
<p>Yes, I think mobile phones, and especially tablets, will allow us to increasingly disciple and train people better than ever before. What about you? <strong>In what ways can mobile assist discipleship? In what ways should we be cautious?</strong></p>]]></description>

    <title><![CDATA[4 Social Media Engagement Tips]]></title>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>At the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.slideshare.net/sm4nonprofits">Social Media for Nonprofits conference</a> I heard an insightful presentation on how to be proactive from Cheryl Black, a Social Media Marketing Specialist for Convio.
</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.brianbarela.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2012-02-02-at-3.31.47-PM.png"><img src="http://www.brianbarela.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2012-02-02-at-3.31.47-PM-1024x769.png" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>Proactivity on social media often consists of scheduling content to be delivered at a certain day and time. But Black introduced the concept of being &#8220;proactively reactive,&#8221; which consists of 4 actions:</p>
<p><strong>1. Comment</strong></p>
<p>An obvious but critical online action. Commenting implies that you have invested your attention in someone else&#8217;s content.</p>
<p><strong>2. Seek out Chats</strong></p>
<p>Online conversations related to your areas of interest or topic are already happening. Rather than starting a new conversation it&#8217;s effective to join current ones.</p>
<p><strong>3. Answer Questions</strong></p>
<p>Similar to #2, but different in that you are providing a direct response to a felt need. LinkedIn Answers surprises me with the amount of unanswered questions each time I check it.</p>
<p><strong>4. Say Thanks</strong></p>
<p>We all feel overwhelmed with the amount of online messages. Instead of talking more about yourself why not just send a message of gratitude? These communications often return the most value for both the sender and the receiver.</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Recently I watched a young man in our organization stand up in a crowd full of our staff and address a problem we were facing with some practical solutions. Many people looked on, some even nodded in a agreement.</p>
<p>However, no one engaged the young man. Not a word was uttered. Days went by without any dialog.</p>
<p>I gathered a group of our leaders and said, &#8220;this guy has some great ideas, we ought to engage him. He&#8217;s trying to be a change agent and we&#8217;re silent.&#8221;</p>
<p>A colleague took the lead and stood up and responded to the young man. Suddenly, lots of other staff lined up to add their thoughts and practical solutions to our problem. There was a buzz of excitement around figuring this out.</p>
<p>Many voices from a broad cross-section of the organization began to chime in.</p>
<p>This wasn&#8217;t at a conference or series of town-hall meetings. It was on our intranet on a staff forum the whole organization can participate in.</p>
<p><strong>I believe it is essential for your leadership team to be engaging your constituents online.</strong> Three things happen when you do this.</p>
<p>1. <strong>You show you care</strong> &#8211; You aren&#8217;t just sitting off in your office at the Ivory Tower, you are right in there with the rank and file, feeling the tension of situations at ground level, understanding the current reality and identifying with the cause giving a feeling of, &#8220;we&#8217;re in this together&#8221;. In the scenario I described above, the leadership team was present and everyone could see we cared about solving this problem.</p>
<p>2. <strong>You grant permission</strong> &#8211; I think somehow when leadership begins to comment on blogs or post on internal forums, people feel a greater freedom to participate and share their opinions. The discussion becomes legitimate, not just some back room murmuring.</p>
<p>3. <strong>You get good solutions</strong> &#8211; Online blogs and forums can often serve as sandboxes or incubators for good ideas. We once had a national campaign flow out of someone throwing an idea up on a forum, allowing others to massage it, working out the kinks and bringing it to market in a collaborative way.</p>
<p><strong>What practices have you found effective in engaging your organization online?</strong></p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p>One of the things that I repeatedly say when I talk to people about our ministry is that this generation is a visual generation, a narrative generation and an online generation. If we are serious about reaching this generation with the gospel then we need to be communicating to them in this way.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s a story that explains exactly why we need to use the internet to communicate the gospel. By doing so, we bring the gospel to where it is just a click away from the people who need it.<br />

    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong><img class="floatleft" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sMR5FEMnzFA/TyLW2-bk2wI/AAAAAAAAEtY/CeiQ0q7CmQc/w485-h365-k/IMG_3255.JPG" alt="" width="437" height="328" />Why are all of these people smiling so big? </strong></p>
<p>Last week 3 of our teammates (see Mark, Kay and Karin below) traveled to Ghana and Kenya to &#8220;train the trainers&#8221; in the launch of a mobile phone based Bible leadership project.</p>
<p>The smiling gentlemen you see here are holding their training certificates after mastering the skills needed to install specific Bible software on mobile phones and administrate Bible leadership courses for hundreds of eager students in their own countries.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-40NR-SzMPGc/TyG8ZeXkQKI/AAAAAAAAEN8/zgzhKgafAFo/w322-h241-n-k/IMG_2947.JPG" alt="" width="322" height="241" /></p>
<p>Yesterday <a rel="nofollow" href="http://handsheadlines.com/2012/02/01/raise-an-african-army-of-mobilizers/">we showed you a video</a> presenting a quick <a rel="nofollow" href="http://handsheadlines.com/2012/02/01/raise-an-african-army-of-mobilizers/">overview of the project</a> &#8211; called <strong>&#8220;Pastors Training in Leadership (PTL)&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Purpose of PTL:</strong></p>
<p>Pastors Training in Leadership (PTL) is a three level <strong>series of courses on a mobile phone</strong> designed to equip pastors for church planting. Created by the <em>Nairobi International School of Theology</em> in Nairobi, Kenya, these courses provide theological training for pastors and lay church leaders.  <strong>Church growth</strong> in this area of Africa is <strong>happening at an exponential rate</strong> &#8211; and there is a <strong>drastic short supply of trained pastors</strong>.  Many congregations share a lay pastor &#8211; a &#8220;normal&#8221; church member who serves 2 or 3 churches while maintaining a full time job in his community.</p>
<p>PTL exists to provide the theological training pastors need to plant churches across the African Sahara Belt (Senegal to Somalia). Each of the PTL Coordinators are responsible to recruit pastors in their country and then encourage, mobilize, and energize them to go north to the Sahara Belt and plant churches, where the Lord is adding many to His church.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="floatright" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-TXucqgmjBFM/TyG8uG50QBI/AAAAAAAAEO8/mGllw0M5Kxw/w485-h365-k/IMG_2963.JPG" alt="" width="291" height="218" /></p>
Prayer Requests:
<ul>
<li>Ask God to protect each of these leaders whom our teammates served last week, who will in turn train many others to conduct the Bible training courses in their own countries.</li>
<li>Pray that the <em>Nairobi International School of Theology -</em> creators of the course contents and curriculum &#8211; would quickly be able to translate their curriculum into French and other languages.  Many countries in Africa are waiting for this training, but need to have it in their own language.</li>
<li>Ask the Lord to provide a mobile phone for each lay pastor who wants to take the course.  Smart phones are readily available in most cities, but must be purchased and cared for.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
Praise for all the Lord Did Last Week:
<ul>
<li><strong>28 trained church leaders were trained and certified</strong> for the roles of Technical Coordinator and PTL Coordinator representing 10 countries &#8211; from Ethiopia to Ghana to Swaziland to Zimbabwe.  Praise the Lord!<img class="floatright" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5095/5532185572_bbc26d8c94_m.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" /></li>
<li><strong>Faith goal: 2,400 lay pastors</strong> equipped to plant churches in the Sahara Belt starting this year!</li>

    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Recent quote:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>This is a tool that will help me raise an army from all across the nation; an army of like-minded people who will take the gospel to the rest of the world. In our effort to mobilize the mobilizers, we now have a simple tool that gives us that platform and a launchpad to missions.</em>&#8221; &#8211; Abel Zulu, lay church leader in Zambia</p></blockquote>

<p>We implore you to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature%3Dplayer_embedded%26v%3Df76TzNW3FHM">watch this video</a> describing one of the projects our team is involved with &#8211; representing several evangelical groups in Africa and Orlando.</p>
<p><strong>Emmanuel is a pastor</strong> and seminary professor in Kenya.  He faces a difficult challenge &#8211; one which most pastors in America would love to have!  With <strong>more than 20,000 new churches</strong> in his part of the world, Emmanuel&#8217;s seminary in Kenya cannot effectively equip all the pastors needed to lead these new churches.</p>
<p><strong>Brad</strong> is a lay pastor who <strong>lives in a rural environment</strong>, similar to most of the lay pastors who need this training. He lives in neighboring Tanzania, and it takes him an hour to drive from the closest paved road to his village of 2,000 people. He runs his refrigerator on a kerosene engine, collects rainwater for drinking, and he uses solar panels to provide electricity. <strong>Yet he has mobile phone coverage at his house. There is a solution to Emmanuel’s challenge.</strong> We can now provide <strong>life-changing Biblical training</strong> to Africans like Brad, <strong>all delivered on a mobile phone!</strong></p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature%3Dplayer_embedded%26v%3Df76TzNW3FHM">See the video above</a></strong> to learn more.</p>
<p>A couple of days ago three of our teammates returned to Orlando from Africa where they trained almost 30 lay church leaders to conduct their own Bible training courses via mobile phone.  Hopefully I can share the praise report and prayer requests from this trip tomorrow in another blog post.</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://equipping4eministry.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/have-you-considered-gods-call-in-eministry/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/qaJqOiAA5sE/2.jpg" alt="" /></a>
</p><p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard the internet compared to the Roman Road of New Testament times.  Also, English might be compared to the Greek of New Testament times (we have an advantage with online translators, too, like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://babelfish.yahoo.com/">Babel Fish</a>). God used this Roman technology and a common language to advance the Gospel. Increasingly, the internet is where people go with their questions about God. (You might want to take two minutes to watch <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3Di7pWcO7cHx0%26feature%3Dyoutu.be">Kimberly&#8217;s story</a> to see our model of win-build-send in one young women&#8217;s life.)</p>
<p>Of course, all true believers desire to glorify God and love people into His kingdom. (That&#8217;s why you&#8217;re reading this post, isn&#8217;t it?) Have you asked yourself what are you doing now or what could you prayerfully consider learning so you are ministering to more people more effectively using the tech tools available to you? (According to the video, all the people of the world may have access to the internet by 2015.)</p>
<ul>
<li>Do you want to find ways to share your faith with your Facebook friends?</li>
<li>Have you considered starting to blog or tweet, but don’t know where to begin?</li>
<li>Have you started blogging, but wish you could touch more people with messages of hope and forgiveness?</li>
<li>Are you using email to connect with your partners, but you need more help to send a group letter with photos and hyperlinks?</li>
<li>Would you like to answer emails from people from other countries who want to learn about Jesus?</li>
<li>Would you like to use a hobby to connect with people online and then share your faith with them?</li>
<li>Are you using technology for MPD and communicating with your donor team?</li>
<li>Can you spare an hour with someone to help them get up-to-speed with something you’re already doing?</li>
<li>Would you like to help?   I’d love to hear from you!</li>
<li>You fill in the blank____________ !</li>
</ul>
<p>Is this a priority for you?  Would you pray about what you may need to do differently?</p>
<p>How can we help you with eQuipping for eMinistry? You may or may not know how to use the technology or what to even ask to get started, but if you’re interested in exploring new ideas and seeing if God has an opportunity for you, then I hope this blog and the training we offer is of help to you.</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><blockquote><p>Hearing a message from a top-scoring “influencer” might make me read, or retweet a message – but seeing it repeated by five people I actually know, like and/or trust makes it law, regardless of the measured “influence” of those people.&#8211;Tom Webster, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://brandsavant.com/influence-from-the-bottom-up/">Influence from the Bottom Up</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ministries and non-profits need to do the hard work of following and listening to those inside their organization, and their friends first. As I help my church with their Twitter presence, the two most important actions I can do are:</p>
<p><strong>1. Follow as many people as possible in the surrounding area of our church/city. </strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Respond to every @ reply we receive. </strong></p>
<p>These actions demonstrate concern and interest to those people. Otherwise, when we do talk about ourselves or share resources there is little incentive to pay attention.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s do the hard work today of listening and paying attention to others first before we talk about ourselves.</p>

    <title><![CDATA[Check out Flickstarter]]></title>
    <link>http://www.inconversation.org/post/2500/</link>

    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Staging intricate light saber battles with my brother after experiencing Star Wars as a young boy. Hiding salty tears during Saving Private Ryan. Movies tell powerful stories that impact lives long after the credits roll. My best college friends and I share an arsenal of memorized movie lines, honed for over 25 years. It’s been a long time since we saw the movies, but within minutes of getting together, someone utters a few choice words, and we are taken back in time. <strong>What films have made you laugh or made you angry or caused you to reflect deeply on your life?</strong> Made you restless to make a difference in the life of someone else? Made you ache to share your faith?</p>
<p>It was with a deep love of movies and the desire to share one on one with Facebook friends and Twitter followers that I have admired and embraced the work of Aaron Thompson in New Zealand and Janakan Arulkumarasan. Their idea came from the V20 student conference last July. The name is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickstarter.org/">Flickstarter</a>.</p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gcx2.org/vlm/files/2012/02/Flickstarter.png"><img class="floatleft" src="https://www.gcx2.org/vlm/files/2012/02/Flickstarter.png" alt="" width="239" height="69" /></a>Flickstarter is a Facebook app that once installed searches your friends&#8217; Facebook &#8220;likes&#8221; and suggests a spritually based video for them to watch.</strong>  Is one of your friends a fan of football?  The app will suggest that they might want to watch Kaka giving his testimony.  Struggling with self-esteem?  How about the short film (from our own <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.globalshortfilmnetwork.com/">GSFN</a>) Dollface?  None of these films present the entire Gospel, but all of them provide an opening for you to share the Gospel with someone you already know in an area where they are already interested.  Even if Flickstarter doesn&#8217;t find a &#8220;like&#8221; that has a spiritual connection, you can share the &#8220;My Last Day&#8221; Animee by default.  Flickstarter helps break through barriers by engaging friends with a certain aspect of the Gospel.</p>
<p>We know the power of social media and how it has become an incredible opportunity for sharing the Gospel through our own social networks.  At some U.S. Christmas Conferences this winter, students followed the New Zealand model and for the day of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gcx2.org/NCL/2012/01/09/a-group-of-students-and-their-gadgets/">outreach:</a> they opened up their laptops, ipads and mobile phones and shared their faith with tremendous results. Studies show that the average student is on Facebook at least 4 hours a day, although many of you have told me that number is too small.  Flickstarter can harness the time students are spending by connecting their likes with their point of deepest need, Jesus.</p>
<p>The app is just in its infancy.  Many new features are planned including the ability for you to choose a friend instead of having the app randomly finding a friend. It is so easy to use and will allow you to initiate spiritual conversations with your friends friend through movies.</p>
<p>Please download Flickstarter and tell us how you have used it or plan to use it in your area below.  We look forward to hearing your feedback and are praying for meaningful Flickstarter conversations.</p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p>During the holiday season back in December, I was flying an Air Canada flight when they made an annoucement that they would be coming through the cabin to collect spare change for the Make a Wish Foundation.</p>
<p>&#8220;Noble thing, but kind of a gimmick,&#8221; I thought. As the attendent approached I avoided eye contact. I don&#8217;t usually carry spare change and besides, I want my giving to be tax-receipted I reasoned.</p>
<p>Without missing a beat, the 8-year-old boy, an unaccompanied minor, sitting beside me reached into his pocket, pulled out $1.25 in coins and put his hand out into the aisle to deposit into the attendent&#8217;s envelope.</p>
<p>The attendent was caught off guard. &#8220;That&#8217;s very kind,&#8221; she said to the little boy as she accepted his donation, mostly used to the odd business man throwing 5 or 10 her way. Both she and I had one of those moments were you shake your head and ask yourself, did that just happen!? Wasn&#8217;t the kid watching a movie? How does he even have a concept of what charitable giving is all about at his age?</p>
<p>A little boy taught me a lot that day about what it means to be generous, respond to needs and have compassion for the needy. Some days you realize you still have a long way to go in character development.</p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I&#8217;m working on a project to put together the infrastructure for our campus fund raising effort. The goal is to have our paper resources work well with our online properties. We want both to do a great job telling the stories of how people&#8217;s donation can make a difference. Here&#8217;s a sneek preview of the info card and our website.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mattmccomas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012leavingpiece_front.jpeg"><img src="http://www.mattmccomas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012leavingpiece_front.jpeg" alt="" width="540" height="396" /></a></p>

<p>After that is done, I have this dream of tweaking our<a rel="nofollow" href="https://give.ccci.org/give/View/2281336"> give site</a> to be branded better and fit our giving situation better. All this is done with the intent of supplementing our face to face fundraising effort.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s still lots of questions if this is worthwhile or not but it can&#8217;t hurt right?<em> Does anyone else have examples of how your ministries online presence has helped with fundraising?</em></p>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;I say to you that the VCR is to the American Film Producer and the American Public as the Boston Strangler is to the woman home alone.&#8221;&#8211;Motion Picture Association Chief Jack Valenti
</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.brianbarela.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2012-01-30-at-8.20.32-AM.png"><img src="http://www.brianbarela.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2012-01-30-at-8.20.32-AM.png" alt="" width="841" height="363" /></a></p>
<p>This picture comes from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://matadornetwork.com/change/infographic-why-the-movie-industry-is-so-wrong-about-sopa/">an infographic on how Hollywood saw every innovation in their industry as a threat</a> rather than an opportunity.</p>
<p>Even more astounding is that as of 2010, <strong>65% of the revenue from the industry comes from sources that movie studios claimed would put them out of business.</strong> I cannot even imagine what would have happened if the studios had the foresight to embrace and leverage these innovations rather than fight them.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to see social media as a threat and even a sign of the end of a particular era of success. In churches and ministries it&#8217;s particularly easy to fight the changes that social media brings.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d love to see more dreaming and experimenting with online tools for ministry. I do not want to look back and realize I fought something that ended up changing the world.</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Happy 2012, y’all! Hope you are all recovered from the holidays and are seeing God moving in you and through you in your daily lives. We are encouraged and humbled in the big and little things we see, like seeing Anja becoming a young lady who cares for others, while trying to parent her in the areas that don’t go so well. We’ve seen prayers for very sick people be answered with healing, while others got more bad news that their cancer has spread. What we do know is that, big or little, yes or no, God is there, working in and through life’s irritations, interruptions, blessings and trials.</p>
<p>For me personally, there have been some steps forward in that I’ve been able to see some improvement in my constant headaches. It’s still a moment my moment problem for me and that probably won’t change, but it makes me increasingly aware of how God has to be involved in every day and how he determines how I will spend it.</p>
<p>One blessing stemming from this improvement is that I’m able to take over doing some of Keynote’s financial jobs, and have been spending a lot more time in the office getting trained. Some friends are transitioning out of Keynote to open a local branch of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.familylife.com">FamilyLife</a> (another great part of Cru) here in Indy. The timing has worked well for me to take up where he left off on this part of his job. One of the other moms has taken another big piece of his responsibilities so the gap is being filled.</p>
<p>Another way we’re happy to serve is by opening our home to visitors. With the Superbowl just around the corner, housing is, as you can imagine, a bit scarce. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://athletesinaction.org/">Athletes in Action</a> (yet another part of Cru!) hosts a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://superbowlbreakfast.com/">Superbowl breakfast</a> every year as one of the official events and they have a lot of staff heading to Indy to run this great event. We’ll be able to make things easier by sharing our home with some of them.</p>
<p><img class="floatleft" src="http://blogs.kranich.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/commlab.jpg" alt="" width="148" height="123" />The following month, we’ll host another staff member from Orlando coming to attend Keynote’s <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.keynote.org/communication-training/comm-lab/">Comm Lab</a>. No matter how long we have been in ministry, we’ve found that the skills Comm Lab teaches on how to effectively communicate your story and your message are invaluable.</p>
<p>Keynote will host the third annual Comm Lab at the end of March. Keynote loves to serve others and equip them to more confidently proclaim God&#8217;s truth. Please pray with us that this would be an effective and helpful event for all who participate. This event is open to anyone who would like to attend, so if you or someone you know would like to take part in this event, you can learn more <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.keynote.org/communication-training/comm-lab/">here</a>.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your involvement in our lives. You make our ministry here in Indy possible through your prayers, your generosity, and your encouragement. We are so blessed by you!</p>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Willow Creek hosted a webinar with <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url%3Dsearch-alias%3Daps%26field-keywords%3Dcharlene+lie%26x%3D0%26y%3D0#/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&amp;field-keywords=charlene+li&amp;rh=i:aps,k:charlene+li">Charlene Li</a>, author of Groundswell and Open Leadership on how church leaders can use social media more effectively.
</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.brianbarela.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2012-01-25-at-12.34.04-PM.png"><img src="http://www.brianbarela.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2012-01-25-at-12.34.04-PM-1024x521.png" alt="" width="600" height="305" /></a></p>
<p>Li shared profound insight into the power of social media:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;If your voice is absent (from social media), then (it communicates to those who are) that this is not a relationship worth having.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>“If you are in a relationship then you are not in control&#8230;to think that you are in control of the relationships in your church is a fallacy.&#8221; ***by far my favorite quote</em></p>
<p><em>“Twitter is not a technology but a conversation, and it’s happening with or without you”</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;If you are not part of the conversation, you have no influence.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>She focused her responses on how technology enhances and increases the transparency in relationships. I enjoyed her thoughts on how social media reveals the true lack of control anyone has over a conversation. Much of ministry in the last 50 years has minimized the voice of the many in favor of the few; social media has completely turned this paradigm on its head.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Handshakes are Precious&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Li literally shook hands with the interviewer to illustrate the power of a personal connection. She clearly showed how many online actions feel the same as a handshake to people, and the potential of interacting with people online to create and enhance relationships.</p>
<p><strong>Specifically for Pastors and Ministry Leaders:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;If you see something that’s interesting I sure would like to know about.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Take me on that journey of discovery as you prepare for your sermon.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Can you produce a 2 min video of something that just hit you, if you don’t like writing?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Pastors and ministry leaders can easily apply these suggestions. The first quote shows that &#8220;the audience&#8221; (your ministry) now has expectations to hear from you not just on Sunday or the time and day you meet in person, but in between. The second quote was powerful&#8211;to use social media to provide context as one prepares for a sermon. The third tip was fantastic&#8211;I&#8217;ve run into so many ministry leaders who because of their preference for speaking struggle to update Facebook, a blog, or Twitter. Producing a short video even once a week would dramatically increase people&#8217;s engagement and provide extended opportunities to connect.</p>

Enjoyed reading these statistics from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/01/25/generation-y-the-new-kind-of-workforce/">Generation Y: The New Kind of Workforce:</a>
</p><p><em>One in three said he/she would prioritize social media freedom, device flexibility and work mobility over salary in accepting a job offer.</em></p>
<p><em>64% of college students asks about social media usage policies during job interviews and approximately 24% says it would be a key factor in accepting the offer.</em></p>
<p><em>There is also a high expectation of the employee for the employer to offer a flexible schedule and freedom to work remotely.</em></p>
<p><em>Sixty-four percent of Gen-Y fails to list their employer on their profiles, yet they add an average of 16 co-workers each to their “friend” group.</em></p>
<p><em>Those that do enter workforce spend an average of just over 2 years at their first job. They are job hopping multiple times in their careers.</em></p>
<p>The theme of flexibility connected to nearly every statistic either directly or indirectly. Work and device mobility, frequent job changes, and the freedom to stay active online while they work all speak to this theme.</p>
<p>I see more ministries embracing remote working but I believe even greater strides can be made to empower and involve people in ministry work that are not in the office. Clay Shirky&#8217;s book<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Surplus-Creativity-Generosity-ebook/dp/B003NX75HC/ref=sr_1_1?s%3Ddigital-text%26ie%3DUTF8%26qid%3D1327594782%26sr%3D1-1"> Cognitive Surplus</a> powerfully communicates the potential of part-time, distributed, asynchronous work.</p>
<p><em><strong>How are you leveraging remote work and flexibility in your ministry or organization? What are you learning? </strong></em></p>
