Bring it On!

One thing is true about teenagers and that is they all have questions.

Questions about life, sex, the bible, sex, the end times, and sex.

We have been doing Question and Answer services for over 5 years at KYC, and we call them "Bring it on!" services.

We started out by passing out little slips of paper where they could anonymously write out their questions and I would answer them ALL! I think there was about 10 teenagers that first week.

Throughout the years, these services have become increasingly difficult because the number of teenagers that we have attending has went through the roof.

We are now only able to answer a fraction of the questions, and sorting through 300+ little pieces of paper is time consuming and difficult.

In comes Mobivity.

For less than a hundred bucks our teenagers can now text message their questions to us, during service.

All of the messages are routed to an email address. The questions can then be copied and pasted into our presentation software and projected on the screens, plasma tv's on stage, and in our overflow room.

This is the first week that we are offering text to screen Bring it On and I am very excited to see how it goes!

How are you leveraging technology to get your message out?

Very cool. I think it's a must that the church stays with the game. Technology is from God..not from the Devil. haha
