If you’re looking for a good way to mobilize prayer, check out PrayEurope’s 40 days of prayer for Europe, which starts today, Ash Wednesday, and goes throughout Lent.  Each day, PrayEurope will have prayer requests featuring one of Europe’s 40 countries.  Today starts with Albania. After praying, you can check off that you prayed. You can sign up for an email reminder. You can get prayer requests through following them on Facebook… And on Twitter.

How to Use Facebook and the Internet to Reach People for Christ (Guest Post)

Sus Schmitt

College students spend an average of five hours a day online. So, when it comes to building spiritual movements with students, everyone knows that online is important.

Our student-led leader for West Africa created training in how to use EveryStudent.com, how to respond to emails and how to use EveryStudent.com on campus, on Facebook, etc. If my math is right, he’s trained about 450 students throughout Ghana and Nigeria in the last nine months, then in Ethiopia and Kenya. Liberia is next.

You can use the same simple ideas to enhance, and even accelerate, your individual or team ministry using the internet. Sign up to receive “How to Talk about God,” a special weekly email series from EveryStudent.com to help you confidently use the internet in your ministry.

Use the great articles on EveryStudent.com and the free email series. Try these ideas for yourself and with your ministry team and then comment here to encourage others to try internet ministry! Continue reading How to Use Facebook and the Internet to Reach People for Christ (Guest Post)

Plan Ahead to Publish Regular Prayer Letters

Sus Schmitt

Do you have a plan for publishing your newsletters? Here’s my plan and what we actually did last year.

We plan for a prayer letter every six weeks, totaling eight letters. We also send two fund appeals per year. In-between the prayer letters we send eNewsletters with some family and ministry news for the financial and prayer partners that have given us eMail addresses. This group of people hear from us every three weeks. (I also print and mail some of our eNewsletters throughout the year for top donors who don’t have eMail addresses.) We also have a handful of people who receive our letters quarterly. They’ve either told us not to spend money on writing to them or we’ve put them in this group for some other reason.

Follow these steps… Continue reading Plan Ahead to Publish Regular Prayer Letters
