What will we be doing?
This LifeShare online challenge will have 5 different types of sharing opportunities you can choose from as you get involved. They go from easy and quick, to more and more involved, to the point where you are taking your own time to specifically care and invest in the people around you. Here is the run down list:
1. Share the Experience
This is where you can invite your friends to come and share an online experience at LifeChurch.tv, at your church’s internet campus, or to the church you normally attend. For the virtual invites to the LifeChurch.tv Internet Campus you can Click Here, plug in their email and invite them to join you! If you want to check out the LifeChurch.tv times you can Click Here. As other internet campuses want to be a part of LifeShare we will list their experience times and urls below.
2. Share your Space
All of us have a space online, whether our social networking profiles (MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, etc.), our blogs or even micro-blog sites like Twitter. To “Share your Space” all you need to do is something like posting an update about the LifeShare event, and placing a badge on your blog or adding the LifeChurch.tv application to your Facebook profile. We also have some badges, count down timers, and other options for you to place on your space. If you end up posting about this event then you can also embed the Mogulus live stream player with that post and share the live experience with your community! [The universal TAG for any video, image, blog post and even tweet for this event is #lifeshare]
3. Share His Message
The internet is an amazing tool to share the messages and information that are important to us. In Sharing His Message we are putting some of the LifeChurch.tv weekend series into our blip.tv account so that you can go and embed them on your blog, your myspace or point to them for people in your online communities to come and interact with. The two series we have up currently are the One Prayer series, where Craig and other church leaders share what their one prayer would be for the church, and we have the “You’re Dead Now What” series, where Craig answers questions about death, heaven, hell and the afterlife. To find these videos you can Click Here, and you can also find Mark Driscoll’s teachings on YouTube by clicking here.
4. Share your Story
All of us have a story of how God is continuing to save us, shape us and heal us. Whether it is the story of how Jesus saved us from our own sin, or even a the story of what we are learning about faith and life currently. Sharing your Story is about what God is teaching you and encouraging others to share along with you. This could be a video in Youtube, Facebook or even Seesmic, a blog post, a MySpace bulletin or a Twitter “tweet”. The point is that we Share our Story of how God is moving in our lives, and in a way that could bless, encourage and influence those in community with us.
5. Share your Life
Up until this point all the sharing we’ve suggested can be done on our own time schedule, whenever we want. Sharing your Life is about looking for opportunity to be available to someone else at their point of need, in their timing and in their “Space”. This could be anything from praying for a hurting friend through IM, posting an encouragement for our Facebook friends on their wall, leaving a comment on the blog post of a searching friend, and even looking for opportunity to invest in the people who are physically around us every day. This is what Jesus spent his time doing, loving people right in their point of need, on their turf, in their situation.
