A training tool or resource to encourage students in being active in sharing their faith with friends. Social media is a resource that we need to learn how to effectively use...not the only way but a way to reach friends. You could also still have a couple of times a year where you heavily promote it and focus but also use it as a springboard for ongoing ministry.

I'm gonna process that some more (about how that would look in our ministry)... thanks for the comment. ;) Great idea, Scott, of integrating online outreach into the foundation of what we do as a student ministry.

Only as a part of keeping that culture not as the only means of it happening. If we did it once a quarter for a couple days and then once a year for a month or something I think it would keep the awareness up. Then the once a year time could be when we do evangelism training/discipleship series in our weekly meetings. Just a thought!

We REALLY spent a lot of time on this with our group -- 6 weeks total -- the first time through, so I think we need a good break before starting it up again to have any momentum, at least for our group. I'm considering the idea of doing it again during the summer months. In the long run, I think annually is a better option for us. Of course, it won't be our only outreach, it will provide another avenue/opportunity for our students along with other outreaches/events. I'd be on board for doing this annually. Sign us up!
