I just wanted to take a moment and let everyone know what's going on at my work, because I have a pretty good job. If you didn't know, I work at Randall Grier Ministries (www.randallgrier.org) located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (actually Broken Arrow). My job there is Director of Media and Communication. Most recently we just started a facebook page, (which you can be a fan of by searching for us on facebook).
I am amazed though at the wide array of resources that we have at RGM, a fine example of what any ministry should have honestly. We have weekly podcasts, free study resources-Bible Studies, archival newsletters, various teachings, In Him Scriptures and other scripture references for prayer. We even have special downloads of full and complete messages, as well as specials on products that regularly change.
But anyway, enough of plugging the site. However, I believe any good ministry needs to include such things, and even more. But we've just started our Facebook page a few weeks ago and have been using facebook for one reason and oen reason alone: To get the Word of God out to people. I know some people have a facebook page to keep connected with friends, family, etc, but we have one for the sole purpose of reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If we do all that other stuff, great. But that's not why we're on facebook. We're not there to make money, yet we advertise our specials. We advertise our 'Escape From Hell' book for $5, shipping included, which usually sells for $8, plus shipping. Is it to sell that product? No. It's to get the Word of God out.
Sometimes ministries forget that's why they're here. Many Christians forget that's why we're here. It's to get the Word of God out. Everything else is secondary. If we could remember that, thinsg would be a lot better. Now I know it takes money to get the Word out, but if we're following God and doing what He has directed us to do, the money will be no problem.
