Tweets, Suites, and Decks

Ok, so I’m not old, right. I mean 31′s not old. I’m still of the generation that is connected through instant media, right? Well a conversation I had with several of the guys I work with last night would indicate that I may be getting there. AH!!!
Within the ministry I’m working for, we have a heart to reach the younger generations, because, let’s be honest they hold the key to moving this life forward and bringing in the End-Times harvest! SO…how do we reach these folks? At this point we’ve been connected to them through E-mail, a website, and a Facebook page. Isn’t that enough? I guess not. If you can’t convey your message in 140 characters or less, they’re not interested. And as far as e-mail goes, they only reason many of these late teens, and early 20-somethings have an email address is to sign up for a Twitter or Facebook account, and not too much longer and I see it’ll be Google+ (as this is the newest social media site….I think Google’s gonna try to take over the world! LOL! – nervous laughter here). So to try to contact these younger ones through email is really pointless…SO, in an effort to communicate with the more than 60% of our ministry, we (myself, and the two leaders I work for, of which I am the youngest by 3 years from one and 25 year from the senior member) are going to be learning about things like Twitter, Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, and such. I see merit in such things, as they streamline the process of communications to one convenient package. So, I am not old, I’m just at that place where I’m now the computer student and not the teacher! And if it means reaching this target generation, then I’m all for connecting to them where they are already connected. Heck who knows, maybe this will light a fire under my butt to come back to blogging more often too! One can only hope!
