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.

So, I’m hoping YOU will write and let me know: if you are doing something similar or if this video gets you thinking of something you might like to try with Facebook, Twitter, mobile phones, or some other technology. This additional video testimony for YouVersion is similar, but slightly different, too.

It’s important for all of us to understand the incredible impact of social media on our lives and on our culture.
What is your “take away” from this video? For me, I’m remembering my first website was a static place where others could go for information. Now, my posts go to my potential readers instead of them going to the posts and … I hear from them even within seconds sometimes!
