We’ve been trying some seminars at Lake Hart in Orlando. This week we did our first panel. Alonzo DeJesus took the reins, bringing knowledgeable staff to the table to present ministry ideas for using digital and social media for MPD, with students, and more. Stacie also was on the panel (joining us from Washington state) and several staff from Africa and other locations also listened in through video on Google + Hangouts.

As a blogger helping other people blog, I was very interested in this op-ed article from Wednesday’s Washington Post, “Bureaucrats declare war on free advice,” by George Will.
Here’s an excerpt:
Four years ago, Cooksey was a walking — actually, barely walking — collection of health risks. He was obese, lethargic, asthmatic, chronically ill and pre-diabetic. The diet advice he was getting from medical and other sources was, he decided, radically wrong.

As a student athletic trainer at Cal State Fullerton, the head trainer lead me to Christ. This opened my eyes to the powerful impact athletic trainers and other sports medicine professionals can have for eternity within their athletic departments. In 1997 I came on staff with Athletes in Action Basketball, as an athletic trainer, with a vision to reach out to sports medicine professionals.
After several years of working with AIA Basketball and taking care of the medical needs of various teams, I started to phase out of my athletic training responsibilities. And then about four years ago, I was left as the sole member of AIA’s women’s basketball. I wondered how we would see spiritual movements everywhere in this sport.
The Lord soon gave me a vision to reach out to American women’s professional basketball players who compete in the European league from September through April. Many of them are Christ followers and desire to use their platform as professional athletes to make an impact for eternity. Continue reading “Skypleship and International Sports (Guest Post)”
I’ve had a couple hours of insomnia, so it was the perfect opportunity to put some more content on eQuipping for eMinistry to help you create a blog or website. I’ll have much more here on e4e over time, but I feel this is good material today to help a beginner launch their site.
