Why should pastors/ministers be on and use social media?  There are a lot of reasons, but Carey Nieuwhof gives some really good ones: To have conversations, to ask questions, to discover what other people are doing, to celebrate a moment in someone else’s life, to point people to great resources, to let people see who you really are, to inspire people, and to remind people why what they do matters.

If you are not on social media like Facebook, Twitter, etc., I encourage you to consider using it for God’s glory.

Your brother in Christ,
Ray
Pr. 3:5-6
