2 new bloggers

I have come across 2 new bloggers today.

1) John Hamilton and his john 20:21 blog

My name is John Hamilton and I have been a member of Wycliffe Bible Translators for over 20 years – first, with my wife Ruth, as teachers of missionary children at Vavoua International School in Ivory Coast for 8 years and latterly working with Wycliffe UK. My current role is Mobilisation Director for Wycliffe UK.

2) Philip Hewer and his hewersofwood blog.
Not only is he my father-in-law but he is also one fo the best writers i know.

In 1988 the Kasem New Testament was published, and later reprinted. Right now there is a team of pastors working in Ghana on translation of the Old Testament in to Kasem. Philip works from home on checking their translation for accuracy and clarity of communication. He visits Ghana a couple of times a year to work with the translators face-to-face, going through suggested changes.

Wordpress for iPhpne

I have voiced my not quite satisfiedness with the iPhone. the more I use it, the more I discover its coolness.

Also just found a wordpress app so I can now blog from my phones too!

Suddenly a bit happier with my iPhone!

Facebook and church 2

I’ve blogged on the subject of Facebook before,

Facebook and church
Facebook survey results
Is it the end for Facebook?

I know that people have mixed emotions when it comes to using it for their church. Based upon my previous research, observations and some personal reflections this is my opinion of how best to use Facebook as part of your church’s ministry.

Let’s start with the limitations of Facebook:
1 – Age: Facebook is mostly used by under 30s. OK there are some exceptions to this as a rule, but honestly, has this social networking thing really impacted your parents generation?
