I’ve been playing around with
twitter for a day now, and I think it has some potential in youth ministry. Studies show that teens are IM or text messenging addicts, and twitter is basically a way to stay in touch using this technology.
Basically, I’m thinking it’s a good community building, social networking application that helps us stay in touch. I can imagine some uses for twitter in youth ministry, but mostly from the building community, doing life together side of things. What do you think?

Looking for a reason to get an ipod this holiday season? Well, here are five ways you could use it in your ministry.
- Music: Make a themed playlist. Hook into the sound system and crank it up as students enter the room.
- Pictures: Put your favorite pictures of your youth group (or last week’s meeting, etc) in a folder, sync it to your iPod, pick out the music you want to play (in slideshow mode), and let it go.
- Presentations: Run powerpoint off of it. You can convert Powerpoint files into photos, make them a slideshow on your iPod, hook it into the projector, and bang, you’ve got a powerpoint.
- Memory: You can enable your iPod to be used as a flash drive. Then, you’ve got 30 or 80 gigs of memory waiting to be used.
- Video: You can download, convert, and play videos from Youtube or other video sharing sites, or you can rip video clips to be used in your presentations. You can also make your own videos and play them off of your iPod.
