Think VLM

The EVMTF (Embrace Virtually-Led Movement Task Force) has narrowed down to push for two action points to help Campus staff into their daily business, namely to:

1. Do online recruitment for new academic year better
2. Digitalize photo evangelism

Better Online Recruitment

For this year online recruitment, the primary objective is to follow up on Christian and pre-believing freshmen’s responses rightly. Read more…

This is such a brilliant way of expressing the story of the birth of Jesus in a digital age.

Remember “Overflow Show” site where you can download 5 minutes podcasts of summarized points on how to  do evangelism and discipleship? Now it has renamed to Overflow Today, and it’s getting better with more videos available.

Overflow Today is a free 3 to 5 minute video/audio podcast for Christians which teach us how to naturally “overflow” into our non-Christian friends’ lives with the gospel. Each show is different and brings new and helpful ideas. Read more…

The title of this post is no longer a speculation or a prophecy.

Just read this article “1 in 5 mobile phones sold in Asia are smartphones“, and you can’t help exclaim how fast mobile technology has evolved the past 3 years.

I still remember this visionary comment made by an Internet evangelist several years, “The next  billion Internet newbies (in third world country) will not own a TV, a car or a computer. But they will own a phone.”

Now is the time for churches to pay attention to mobile technology, and start making their church websites more mobile friendly. Maybe for a start, they can consider to make phone apps for outreach or feed information to their congregations.

For SCCC campus staff, you would been added to the new Facebook Group “SCCC Campus Staff”. Allow me to  do introduce you briefly what the new Group is about. Read more…

Recently Maggie, our staff serving in RP and TP ministry, had a good experience with meeting her graduated crusaders and ex-staff member, Amber online. This arose because they just couldn’t find a time to meet up face-to-face.

Below is a summary of Maggie’s experience:

“We share about our life and our recent walk with God, and what we’ve been learning. It’s been a long time since we met. So it’s refreshing to hear one another’s “voices” (online) and also to pray for one another. Read more…

This video is somehow similar to “Disconnect To Connect” video.

Let’s be mindful not to neglect your loved ones by directing all your attention to your smart phones.

If your ministry site or blog appears in Facebook, how much interactions would you get for a blog post?

At GLAMMM (Global Leaders in Arts, Music and Media Ministries) 2010 conference, Chris Zaugg the executive director of US Keynote ministry demonstrated to us the tremendous impact after they tried to integrate some some CCC sites and blogs into Facebook…

Just imagine one of your Facebook friend click “Like” on your site in Facebook, and it appears in the Facebook newsfeed of his 300 plus friends. Soon you will see 10, 30 or even 100 friends “Like” your site or a recent blog post you wrote. And should only 2 or more people decide to comment on your post, conversations will just spring up from all over your Facebook network and your friends’ networks.

That’s why we are planning to move some of our Cru.sg sites into Facebook. That’s where the people are. That’s where spiritual conversations will grow. That’s where community are built. That’s where movements are started.

Stunt upon this interesting CNA article about a global study by Digital Life.

The study was the “largest ever global research project into people’s online activities and behaviour”, surveying almost 90 per cent of the world’s online population through 50,000 interviews in 46 countries. Here are some interesting statistics and interpretations:

• Malaysians are the most sociable online with an average of 233 friends on social media websites, while the Japanese are the least friendly with just 29. Read more…

I’m guilty of playing games on iPhone whenever I visited Irene’s grandma. Sometimes my heart is far away from Irene when I’m reading emails and text messaging while she talks to me.

The video drives the point that you can connect to the whole world but ironically disconnected from the person closest beside you.

One thing I have been practicing that really helps…
Never ever ever never ever bring an iPhone when I go for an evening walk with my wife in the neighbourhood park. That two hours of uninterrupted conversations (without a phone) is so precious and rewarding.
