CCj Now: Twitter Followup

One month ago, I wrote a blog entry stating that I would be trying out "Twitter" as a way to keep people informed of all that is happening in Jaco. It would serve as a way to offer quick updates between blog entries and newsletters. I figured that at least it would serve as a way to keep me on track with my time usage. Well, I wanted to post a follow up to that entry letting you know what I think so far.

"Twitter"... what an amazing little tool it has turned out to be. It has been a blessing to me in more ways than I imagined. First, it has served as a great way to let people see what happens to us day to day. While some of these entries may seem insignificant, they show you what everyday life is like on the mission field. Second, it has served as a great way to tell you about the ministry opportunities that happen each day. Third, it has served as a great way to follow some of you (if you are on "Twitter"). It is fun to see what you are up to, and it only takes a few seconds to check it, then go about the day. This has caused the last way that I have been blessed by using "Twitter". I have been quite challenged by seeing some of your daily routines. I've been particularly challenged through Pastor Pedro Garcia's Twitter entries. Pastor Pedro is the Pastor of Calvary Chapel Kendall, in S. Florida. They support us to be here on the mission field. He is a great guy who is the same age as me and has a young family as well. To top it off, he also Pastor's a large, growing church (does he ever sleep? :) ). Seeing his entries have challenged me in positive ways.

So, there you have it. For now, we have seen many benefits and uses for "Twitter". I hope you have enjoyed following us on it. If you do not follow us, but would like to, simply go to "Twitter's" web site and sign up for a free account. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can even add entries from your device.

In His Grace,

Mike
