Being Intentional
One of the most important things you need to insure you follow if you are going to have a successful website, blog, or other internet presence, is to BE INTENTIONAL about what you do. For example, you can’t just build a webpage and let it sit there and hope someone sees it. Even if you have lots of hits already, you still must be intentional about maintaining it and connecting with new people constantly. We can learn a big lesson from a company you might have heard from, it is called Coca-Cola. Even though they are probably the largest soft drink company in the world, you still see commercials and ads about Coke everywhere. They are very intentional! They know that with so many choices and distractions out in the world, they need to be always in sight! Doesn’t the church need to be the same way? We need to be intentional about being in people’s sights! With our Internet Campus, we constantly take steps to be intentional and stay in peoples sights, or should I say searches. This weekend showed the fruits of that labor. We intentionally put ads on google during all of our 5 services, that if someone, anywhere in the world typed searches on things like, marriage problems, divorces, hurting, etc, they would get a link that would take them right to our online services. We had about 76 people click through and watched our services online. It was great! But it was intentional. I encourage everyone to be intentional as you work to expand the Kingdom.


Mike, I love your heart. Just as with God, all starts with design and intentionality. We need to let people know we are open for business and we need to see how one door can open another and another. How one click opens to another and another. You and the team at New Hope do this so well.
God’s best to you Mike.
