Ok, so I get asked this all the time. Why do you Twitter?
Well it's a funny thing. Although I have never used Myspace of Facebook or anything like that I would like to share with you one of the many reasons why I am a Twitterholic.
Last week on Twitter I was looking at some comments from some people I follow and I clicked from a person I follow to a person I don't follow.
When I did this I was viewing a person whose name is Shaun King aka @shaunking.
He is the lead pastor of Courageous Church in Atlanta.(www.courageous.tv) After reading a few tweets and clicking on some links I noticed that his church was putting together an effort to raise school uniforms and toys for children in Atlanta this Christmas. They needed a quick website. I Direct Messaged him and told him I was the man let's get started. 4 days later www.500uniforms.org is up and running.
Shaun King and I have never met in person, Have no idea what we have in common, Know nothing about our past, Have no idea about the future, but because of a little thing called WWW.TWITTER.COM life's will be changed in Atlanta.
Church, please stop bickering about change and traditions and start reaching out. The technology we have today to impact peoples lives is incredible in yet we use it mostly for all the wrong reasons.
I wish Shaun King all the luck. If you would like to help him in his cause please goto www.500uniforms.org or search shaunking on you guessed it, www.twitter.com.
To GOD be all the Glory!
Please share your twitter stories or thoughts !

Chad! You are the bomb man. I am so enormously thankful for your hard work to make http://500uniforms.org a success! When we just act on what we feel God telling us to do and forget about the rest, who knows what we can get done?!
You have a new friend in me. I look forward to meet you bro!

Chad,
I read a blog post a few months ago from another worship pastor who felt that Twitter was the biggest waste of Kingdom time he'd ever seen. Personally, I hate it when people make dumb comments like that. Twitter is another VERY useful tool in connecting God's people. I appreciate you reaching out with what God has given you!
