I have not personally found many "normal" people using twitter at church, I think every Christian I have on my Twitter list are all leaders. I think it is fantatic you are using it to connect with people at church! Anyone else Twittering with people at church?? Shelly, set up your facebook to make your Twitters be your facebook status... then you don't have to try and keep both up to date. Just post with Twitter. Shelly, that is FANTASTIC!

I’d probably have to honestly say none, or not much. It’s not about ministry. It’s more about interpersonal relationships. Shelly says: I disagree Karl. I've gotten to know three families this past week through twitter and facebook. These are families that I just nodded to before at church, now we stop and chat. It's been a great tool also to keep in touch with my volunteers that love computers. It is a real community builder. I even have a running joke now with a mom whom I didn't even know before. I am loving it. I had a running commentary with a youth that just left me last year about the rays/sox game (he was rooting for the sox..traiter). anytime you can make contact with a family to share a joke or just let them see that you are real and "safe", it builds ministry. People need to understand that ministry is soooo much more than sharing the gospel message. it's about sharing our dreams, our pain, our hugs. It's about community. everyday. every hour. together. I totally think it's a ministry builder. Karl said: Someone recently asked me what the ministry benefits were. I’d probably have to honestly say none, or not much. It’s not about ministry.

But my eyes couldn't help but catch this: "But why Twitter? - Monitor your staff." That's the only thing my brain honed in on... Ha ha Karl! :) I was browsing through the post… just skimming it, not really taking in the actual words, since I already Twitter, and didn’t feel a ‘need’ to read up on it.
