I came across this and found it hilarious…

How do you tell if your church is internet savvy?

1. Instead of handshakes, greeters offer pokes.

2. Name tags have been replaced by current mood indicators.

3. Sermon text is limited to 140 characters.

4. During altar call, the Pastor says: “Will you make Jesus your BFF today?”

5. You like a Blue coloured Bible and you call it  the “Faith Book”

This weekend  promises to be another exciting weekend for us.

As a follow-up from our Resume Writing Workshop, our friends who are current and ex-employees from Mckinsey and Co. are helping us host an Interview Workshop. We are believing that through the workshop, we can sharpen our skills when we go “Job Hunting” for that Dream Job.

Attendees will be taught how to engage the Interviewers and how to hopefully put in an outstanding performance to land the Holy Grail.

We will be at Riverwalk this Saturday, so contact Jared Lim at 9668 8531, if  you are interested.

See u there!

In less than 12 hours time, ET Zone is going to have it’s December Day Camp!

We have been praying for this camp, and we believe that it’s going to be a powerful camp, with many encounters with the Holy Spirit.

We are looking forward to it…

I think that it’s great that Pastor Kong Hee is so high tech, and always trying out new things!

Since he got onto Twitter and Facebook, we have seen him communicating with the congregation via this medium as well.

It was just featured in The Straits Times.

Tweet! It’s your pastor

A few churches are using Twitter and Facebook to connect with their flocks

WHEN City Harvest Church member Vanessa Sng needed spiritual advice, she did not just pray – she tweeted.

Moments later, there it was: ‘It is the work of God!’ tweeted back her pastor Kong Hee. Like most young Singaporeans today, the 20-year-old student uses Twitter, a micro-blogging service that sends short messages, or ‘tweets’, to other users online.

Followers tend to be friends and family, but these days, churches are taking to tweeting too.

The phenomenon has gained momentum especially in the United States, where during ‘Twitter Sundays’, congregation members are asked to tweet questions about the sermon for discussion afterwards.

But the online service is still in its infancy among churches here. A check on Twitter’s website found four with active accounts, set up as recently as two months ago. The churches – City Harvest Church, New Creation Church, Heart of God Church and Hope Church Singapore – use it to share short biblical quotations and activity listings once or twice a week.

And the online gospel is going further. A search on social networking site Facebook, which first introduced its popular ‘wall’, ‘poke’ and ‘tag’ features in 2004, turned up 67 profiles of Christian churches here. About a third were set up only this year.

The number of people following the churches’ Facebook and Twitter profiles online were a fraction of its real-life followers.

City Harvest Church, with 25,000 members, had 4,469 friends on Facebook and 1,359 followers on Twitter yesterday. Most were under 30 years old.

Pastor Seow How San of Heart of God Church in Eunos said Twitter enabled him to be a better caregiver to his congregation. Since the church began tweeting in May, nearly 800 of its 1,400 believers have signed up to listen – and tweet back.

‘It was a conscious effort to get people to use it,’ he said. ‘As pastor, I need to know how people are feeling. Now I know how they feel, how they think, even what they do, eat and drink. Having Twitter really helps if you have a big church.’

This is what the largest Church in the world looks like!

With 850,000 members, this church is the Largest Mega Church in the world.

What’s the secret to its growth?

Answer:- PRAYER

The Church Pastors gather every morning at 5am to prayer for an hour.

Currently, the church has just embarked on a 2 week morning prayer program.

This is the scene outside the church at 420am.

People were rushing into the building – not just because it was cold, but because they were rushing for seats.

Inside the auditorium, they have 3 guys on stage who will speak in tongues for 15mins continuously.

The congregation will do likewise! Check out the atmosphere in the church from the video below:

This is definitely a church on FIRE!!!
