They need the updates, giving them opportunities to pray about the issues that you are dealing with. The part that concerns me about American Christians in general is that we are so rich, that we call financial support involvement and we call receiving ministry updates accountability. Where exactly is the relationship development through the cerebral transfer of money and information?

Our blog exists to update ministry partners on what God is doing through their faithful giving. What actions can we expect from them?

talked to a college student on a recent plane flight–she mentioned Twitter as growing, but still Facebook to see “what everyone is doing.”

seems like a continued pattern of fragmentation–Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter are all growing in various circles of US staff and students.

@Tim – I think identifying 3-5 high impact ideas is the first step. My problem is that most of the ideas I can think of require too much input and aren’t well suited to little, tiny, amounts of surplus.

from what I learned hosting the blogference is that it has to be short, high impact projects first to generate momentum and make connections, and then it can expand to longer ones.

i think resources are a HUGE opporuntunity-but there has to be a way to rank, sort, and share them in a way that easy.

I’ll have to read that book Russ. I really like the ideas I’ve read that have come from that book.

This is definitely my dream for Cru – that we’d have more working groups working on large scale projects (on a volunteer basis).

How do we move this ball forward?

that book is a gold mine–i need to re-read as well.

I only use lists when on twitter to keep my focus and have a list of 10 people that i want to connect with online every day that i keep in my todo list to align any “free” time that i have online with purpose. small steps but they have made a big difference.
