o What is the best example of social media ministry you’ve witnessed online?

o What is the worst thing – which you have heard of –that involved the internet?

o The best?o Where was God in the midst of these happenings?

You are invited to search the internet for inspiration.

spit balling

Split into groups by district and then combine districts to get the group sizes to 3-5.

One person in each group will need to serve as the recorder, one as the leader, and one as the time keeper.

Go off to find your own space and come up with ideas for substantial and sacred social media ministry. We don’t need specifics, just good ideas.Participants are encouraged to use the internet for inspiration.

Any scope of idea is acceptable, large or small.

convergence

Every group will report their best ideas and write them on the board or screen. Make sure everyone understands the idea.

Then go through the room and have each person identify their favorite #1 and #2 ideas from the entire list that THEY would most like to work on if it was happening for realz.

construction

Break into groups if there is more than one project being considered. Use the lean startup methodology to flush out your idea

1. Have a visionary idea – Check!2. Identify your key assumptions (what has to happen for your idea

to work).• Figure out if any of your key assumptions have been met by

another ministry or business. Use the internet if need be. 3. Come up with the Minimum Viable Ministry plan, just enough

work to test those key assumptions. • Budget, equipment, staffing, logistics, etc. • How will you measure success in regards to your key

assumptions?4. You can’t proceed or pivot because you don’t have any real

feedback yet, but you can imagine ways that you might pivot based on different scenario failures. Come up with a scenario for each assumption. What went wrong and how would you pivot?
