Be Known for Serving Well…and Posting Regularly

Do the people you desire to serve know who you are or what service or value that you are trying to offer them? Have you spent the time, energy and attention to truly understand the needs of the people that you are serving? Where do they congregate online? Are you spending time there? Are you posting valuable tips and information regularly?

Innovation: Use social media to help reach the people you are trying to serve.

Desired Outcome: Leverage technology to love people in Jesus name.

Are You Leaving Room at the Edges? 

The modern definition of gleaning is collecting leftover crops from farmers’ fields after they have been commercially harvested or on fields where it is not economically profitable to harvest. On the other hand, the Hebrew Scriptures (OT) speak of intentionally leaving the edges of your fields, unharvested areas and dropped harvest for people in need to gather for themselves.

Innovation: Make room for people to help themselves.

Desired Outcome: Create opportunities for people to lift themselves out of welfare.

Meeting People Where They Are…and It’s Online 

Online is the new offline. Social media is the internet! Almost 70% of Americans have smartphones. Over 50% of all people on the internet spend over 50% of their time on only seven sites. Can you name them? Are you engaging the people you are attempting to help online? Are you recruiting volunteers or attracting new supporters? Facebook ads and Instagram Influencers are the best values on the planet.

Innovation: Engage people where they already are online.

Desired Outcome: Using technology to express God’s love and to glorify His name.
