Keeping kids safe online can be a challenge.
Earlier this week we posted an article about Kid-Safe Messaging Apps to help you be strategic about protecting them.
We wanted to follow it up with an infographic about ways you can make sure your kids are developing safe internet habits.
Kids are becoming more and more tech savvy every day.
While it's great when you have a computer issue to solve, it can be a challenge when it comes to the ways they communicate with peers.
Older kids and teens want to stay in touch and know what their friends are up to. More often than we want to know about it.
So how can we give them freedom while keeping them safe from inappropriate content and online predators?
As I've written before... Volunteers are the life blood of your church.
Much of your ministry success rests on the time and talent of those most committed to your church.
With Christmas approaching, it seems like a good time to list some ways to bless your volunteers. Making certain they understand the value you place on them.
Cloud computing has exploded in the past few years.
Hard drive costs have plummeted. Internet speeds have increased. Mobile connectivity is better than ever.
It's been the perfect storm, and the number of cloud based software solutions has grown with it.
For years, churches and non-profits have been looking for ways to raise funds to pay for needed buildings, projects, and missions.
While many organizations still use traditional forms of fund raising, tech-savvy young givers are looking for other options. They want the technology they use daily, to connect with the ways they can make a difference.
Enter crowdfunding...
Over the past 20 years my wife and I have been part of a number of small groups.
In hindsight they were quite eclectic.
Young families, youth leaders, 40 years seperating the oldest and youngest. We've done book studies, bible studies, free for all discussions and more.
Despite the craziness there are several things that each group somehow embodied. These make or break items often made the difference between groups that lasted and ones we killed (sometimes long after we should have).
I’ve spent a lot of time using presentation software and it takes a lot to turn my head. What could they really be doing that is different, interesting and worth noticing? Is this really worth my time? I was truly surprised by what I found with Proclaim online.
