Why should you care? Well, quite possibly you don’t. But I wanted to introduce you to a new possibility for your ministry. If you’re looking for a way to connect with your church often throughout the week—to give them an inside look at your ministry life and to share in a brand new way the vision and mission of your church, Twitter may be just the tool for you.
I Twitter. Last week, while I was in Orlando at the Exponential Conference, I was giving instant Twittering nuggets from the conference. In fact, if you had been reading my Twitter feed, you would have gotten notice of our live interviews with Andy Stanley, Rick Warren, Dave Ferguson and many others. We were able to stream these interviews live, but only had a few minutes notice, so we sent out ‘twitters’ to let everyone know what was happening. Scott Hodge and Chris Elrod are pastors that I was hanging out with at the conference… they also used Twitter to their tell their friends about what all was happening..
Could Twitter be a cool tool for your ministry? Check out a little more about the possibilities here. And give it a try!
I use the small download Twhirl to read all the updates from the people I’m following. Here are some of the people that I think you might like to add to your Twitter list:
Me (of course!)
Perry Noble
Tony Morgan
Kem Meyer
Anne Jackson
Geoff Surratt
TallSkinnyKiwi
Los
DJ Chuang
ScottHodge
ChrisElrod
Bobby Gruenwald
Terry Storch
Feel free to add your name to the list in our comments section! And, please DO share how YOU are using Twitter!
Perry Noble "Twitters." So does Tony Morgan. What does this mean? Well, it simply means that these guys are sharing their lives throughout the day through Twitter.com, telling the whole world what they're up to during the day. (For example, recently Perry was working on the plans for Mother's Day at Newspring Church. Tony was headed off to a leadership strategy meeting to discuss NewSpring's future. Have you ever heard of Twitter? If not, maybe it's time to spread your wings and discover a new, free tool that you can use for ministry. Twitter is a social networking tool that many pastors and church leaders are starting to use to communicate on the Internet with their friends, colleagues, and church members.

Not sure if twitter is all that useful. I am going to subscribe to a bunch of twitter feeds and see if I like to follow people all the carefully.
It seems to me that it sort of fills this weird need to be in the know all the time, immediately. I think twitter may end up taking away far to much attention from other things that are more important.

I just joined Twitter today and so far it looks like it might be fun. I can’t see myself sending in updates from my cell—but you never know just how addicting this whole Twitter thing may get.

Good post! I love twitter when it helps connect. You can find me here. https://twitter.com/brentgudgel
Also, I think one of the BEST Christian ministry uses of twitter has to be Andy Bales, the CEO of Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles. http://twitter.com/abales

Jesus, didn’t twitter! Genius made me laugh all afternoon!
I think he would have if he could. Even the pope twitters sometimes.

People are making money by running advertisements on their twitter accounts. I make quite a lot using a cost per click program. The advertising tweets just mix in with my regular tweets. So I put out an ad to my twitter network once a day.
