SocialGO
Here is another do it yourself type of social networking site. This is similar to Ning, but much prettier. I would also say the features address the cost one would have to pay. Check it out and let me know how your ministry could be impacted.

Geocaching for Jesus
The other day I went Geo-caching with my iPhone. My girls and I were looking through one Geo-cache and noticed a lot of cool goodies, we started to trade different items that were in the Geo-cache. It dawned on me while I was there, that it would be a great idea to put little biblical quotes of encouragement or small children’s bibles in the different Geo-caches that we visit. Just another way through the use of technology to spread God’s word. If you have ideas on this type of ministry give your comments.

Transparency
TransparencyCamp 2009 just finished in Washington brought about by Obama’s initiative to make government more transparent. Personally I think this is a good thing, we need to be more transparent everywhere, it builds trust and accountability.
The fact that there was even a conference to discuss and converse about transparency is a step in the right direction government or not. If our government is trying to be more transparent to its people by the hand of the first African-American President, how much more do we as Christian people need to open up our homes, lives and churches. It would be wonderful to see a conference on transparency surrounding the operation of churches, denominations and non-profits.

Twinity
Twinity is a brand new online virtual world similar to Second Life. The difference is that the landscape and map of the world resembles our real world. The first city created is Berlin,Germany where you can build your own home, explore the city and meet new people. I like this idea of a virtual world better, because it gives the users a real reference point in the world we live in. It also opens up possibilities for real commerce and education programs. When a 3D environment can bring the real and virtual worlds closer, I think it eludes to a better experience and also provides realistic ministry possibilities.
