One of our missions here at Love Wins Ministries is to spread our message that, well, Love Wins. And we will use any method at all to do that, from blogging to speaking to carrier pidgeon to social media.

That is why we set up a cause on Facebook, where all of you can help spread our message throughout the internets. If you are a Facebook type, please join and encourage your friends to join as well. It has only been online over the weekend and there a re already 47 members. Thanks, and please keep spreading the word and helping us get more awareness for our mission to bring the love of Jesus to the homeless and urban poor. The cause page has a discussion board, but as of yet, no discussion. Why not go over there and post any questions you may have or get a conversation started?

If you, like every other person with a computer or iphone, are on Twitter, friend us up over there as well. Honestly, right now we are not doing much with the Love Wins Twitter account, but it is a big part of our future plans, and you may as well go ahead and follow us now. If you don’t and forget, you will not like yourself later. Promise. While you are at it, you may as well follow Hugh, who uses Twitter much more than the rest of us.

Of course, our blog (which you are reading) is still home base for us. If you are reading us via RSS, fine. If you click over to check our page every once in a while, however, why not go ahead and subscribe so you get an email when we update the blog?

However you decide to connect with us, we are glad you are here. Your readership means a lot to us, and we thank you.

As I mentioned yesterday, I don’t have a lot of time to do serious blog posts. I wish I did, but I just don’t. However, I do grab quite a bit of internet time, but usually in short snatches. With that in mind, I created an account for Love Wins on Twitter.

Twitter is a way I can post short (less than 140 character) messages about anything… to let people know where I am going to be, to give quick status updates, to request emergency help for people. Because of a neat plugin for WordPress (the software that runs this site), once a day all our Twitter updates will show up here, in one group, as a blog post.

I see several advantages:

• You, the blog reader, gets a better sense of what I do day to day. Obviously, I won’t be able to post everything I do (my phone and twitter do not see eye to eye, so I am limited to Twittering when I am at my desk), but you will get a better sense of some of the behind the scene activity.
• Google will like that the site is updated daily, so that should help the search results.
• Twitter, among a certain demographic, is huge. This will allow me to reach that demographic with our crazy message of Love in the name of Jesus. Hopefully, this will translate into some of them deciding to partner with us to change the world.
• When I find links to important websites, I can publish them on Twitter, so you can read them too.

Will this work? I am not sure. I hope so, but then again, that is just my nature.

If you are on Twitter, we would appreciate it if you followed Love Wins.
