Some of you may have caught onto the powerful free resource called Twitter. Albeit sometimes annoying to receive text messages from your friends like, “enjoying another iced double latte at Starbucks” what can I say, they are your friends. Seriously, sometimes the mundane new of life is what is most important. So taco bell, starbucks and the movies do have their value – after all when you get together to chat, doesn’t it normally include this type of small talk and progress to deeper conversations?
Just the same it is a powerful tool for ministry. Your leadership team, or small group members would certainly benefit by this versatile communication tool. Find out more about the tool at twitter.com
Now for you power users who hate to text and those who want to broadcast to a specific group of followers – check out Jott.com. Jot allows you to call into a specific number where you will record a message that will be transcribed into a text message and then batched out to what ever group of friends/associates you like. Can you have multiple groups? You bet. And each group has infinite capacity. Oh there’s so much more functionality just visit the sites of Twitter and Jot.
Now let’s go back and consider the impact of increased communication among your friends, members or ministry team. Imagine the ability to broadcast out the text message that reminds “the group” to join you at the X location for a special event, or that you are running late due to car troubles or perhaps a prayer request or even the feelings you are having at the end of your day.
The power of communication is readily available – and free!
