In the last few months, I have been asked several questions about my blog from friends who desired to start their own. Incidentally, based on a Google statistic, I was startled to find out that the word “Jesus” was searched more than 13,600,000 times (Global monthly searches) and 27,100 searches for “who Jesus is”, over 8000 searches for “proof of Jesus” and over 5000 times for “did Jesus exist and was Jesus real?”

However, there are many churches which are still uncomfortable to take a leap into the boat of creative media. Out of which, the social networking is a very vital part. It is these social networks that unite people from every corner of the earth and making it a platform to communicate, connect and interact in a way that was not possible about a decade ago.

It might surprise some of you if I said that many personality tests that I have taken have been very consistent in concluding that I’m an introvert.

I have put together some simple event planning ideas for to help anyone who could be looking for some help to organize and better facilitate an event.

Here are a few tips to escape massive chaos.

Once you get to know them, you will be better informed and will know who will be able to get things done and are able to follow the instructions to meet set requirements. Ensure that each person is only assigned the task in the area of his strength and know-how.

Find below a few basic areas that you can cover, team-wise: Continue Reading
