Ministry Media - To Charge or Not to Charge
By http://ongoministries.blogspot.com/
A wise friend and former leader of many international ministries puts it bluntly: you either believe that money follows ministry or ministry follows money. Of course, we all love to claim that we believe God will provide for our personal and ministry needs, but does our ministry pricing reflect the same?
Case in point: an international ministry which I know and love recently removed almost all free content from their website. Now their only freebies are the occasional YouTube video and podcasts. My ministry veteran friend believes that the leader of this organization would be mortified if he found out about the pay-to-play moves of his staffers.
Case in point 2: Hearken back to the ministry of John and Charles Wesley, one a great evangelist and the other a gifted hymn writer, who God used to fan the flames of the First Great Awakening in 18th Century England. The Wesleys famously never made a single appeal for ministry support. Rather they clung tightly to God in prayer. Lo and behold, God miraculously provided for the Wesleys, including folks dropping literal bags of money at the front gate of the orphanage John and Charles oversaw. At least, that's the way the story was told me by a ministry confidante not particularly thrilled with fundraising.
The reality of the Wesleys fundraising was a bit different. The Wesleys were fervent in prayer and John Wesley kept his cost of living at the same level, when his annual salary was 30 pounds and when it leaped to 1,400 pounds. At the same time, the Holy Spirit often worked through fellow Great Awakening preacher George Whitefield to raise money for the Wesley orphanage. Whitefield's impassioned pleas even persuaded famously stingy Benjamin Franklin to chip in.
So which is it? Does money follow ministry or does ministry follow money? Is it wrong to charge for resources? After all, the Gospel is free.
The answer is: ask God.
I know. It's no fun when somebody answers a question with question. But if the tactic rang true with our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, then it might be the best way to answer this ministry biggie.
The Spirit says through Paul, "Each of us shall give account of himself to God." (Rom. 14:12) You must seek God wholeheartedly about what to charge, if anything, for your resources and events, bearing in mind God's promise that if we first seek His kingdom and His righteousness (found in His perfect Son, Jesus Christ), then He will add food and clothing unto us.
Our God truly will "supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:19) That doesn't rule out presenting opportunities for folks to financially partner in the work to which God has called you, or perhaps charging for ministry media. In fact, partners in ministry receive untold blessings, as Jesus Christ said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20:35)
But God's call to seek Him first and trust Him to provide, does demand that your fundraising efforts are rooted in dependence upon Jehovah Jireh, not secular principles of content monetization. Perhaps then, it's not a question of free but of faith.

Dr Martin Cooper Develops the Mobile Telephone
In 1973, Dr Martin Cooper was the first to demonstrate a hand-held cellular telephone. It had a battery, a radio and a microprocessor (a minicomputer).
New Yorkers gaped in amazement when they saw Cooper making a phone call on the street. But the invention was possible only because back in 1800, Alessandro Volta had invented a reliable battery. In addition, the telphone had been developed by 1876, the radio by 1895 and the computer by 1946. Finally,the invention of the microprocessor in 1971 made cell phones possible.

The Youths and the Internet
Sometimes ago, while in church praying for the youths and children, I was telling the adults that the youths are facing new and greater challenges compared to their own experiences. The youths of today belong to the Digital Generation. The use of the Internet and other digital technologies is growing at an alarming rate in Nigeria and Africa. Information technology has been incorporated into the curriculum of even the nursery school pupils. Admission now is done via the internet, likewise is the checking of results.
It no longer news again that the Internet has taken over every sector of life. The adults predominantly use the net to check their emails, and search for information, however, the youths go beyond that; they use the net to find and build relationships with peers and colleagues from every parts of the world.
Leonard Sweet, the E. Stanley Jones Professor of Evangelism at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey and an acknowledged expert on postmodernism, says that if you were born before 1962, you are an immigrant. Today's culture, with its emphasis on technology, is not your home. You're uncomfortable in a new place. You're learning a new language (gigabyte, megahertz, download, spam, etc.). You're learning new customs (email, surfing the web, shopping online, networking, chatting, linking, blogging, googling).
According to Sweet, if you were born after 1962, you're a native. You're at home in a new world of technology. You are comfortable utilizing new methods and patterns of communication. Your culture is inextricably entwined with the internet and the new digital arena.
By ‘natives’ Sweet is talking about those born after 1962, these group of people are always at home with Information Technology tools, while the ‘immigrants’ are those born before 1962, they are not normally comfortable with the use of Internet and other IT tools.
It should be noted that Sweet admits that this distinction between immigrants and natives is somewhat artificial. There are people born before 1962 who have the characteristics of "natives" and there are people born after 1962 who seem more like "immigrants".
But in general, it is a helpful distinction.
Like the mythical country I told you about earlier, natives are increasing in their dominance in today's culture. Listen to these examples Sweet cites:
• The "Love Bug," a computer virus which wreaked havoc with government agencies, corporations and individuals, causing billions of dollars in damage, was created by two college students living in the slums of Manila in the Philippines.
• In February 2000, "denial of service" attacks were launched against Amazon.com, Yahoo! and CNN.com by a 15-year-old Canadian teenager.
• In early 2000, Cameron Johnson started his second company — SurfingPrizes.com — which, at last report, averages $15,000 per day in revenue. At the time he founded the company, Cameron was 15 years old.
• In 2001, 26,000 credit card numbers (including some owned by Bill Gates) were stolen by two Welsh teenagers.
• Michael Furdyk and an Australian chat room friend he had never met in person started a company called MyDesktop.com. Within a few months, it was making $30,000 per month. Michael and his friend were 17 and 16, respectively.
• The main rival to Microsoft Windows, called Linux, was originally developed by a college student from Helsinki, Finland.
We live in a world where children in some of the poorest places on the planet can do the harm that only governments and generals could do in the past. We live in a culture where, for the first time in history, children don't need authority figures in order to access information — information is available at their fingertips. We live in a culture where, in many ways, children are the authority figures and adults need their help.
Can you now see why adults need to be informed about the technology of today in order to be able to always serve as check on the youths whenever they are using these tools negatively.
Can you see why Pastors must be adept to technology so as to be able to minister to this DIGITAL GENERATION. Especially in places like Nigeria, wee must strive to discourage our youths from perpetrating frauds and other anomalies via the Internet.
Permit me to ask you an insightful question: Who is the most adept in your house at programming the TV, CD, DVD, and VCR? Who is the most computer-literate?

HOW TO CROSS THE DIGITAL DIVIDE, RWANDA-STYLE
HOW TO CROSS THE DIGITAL DIVIDE, RWANDA-STYLE
By Sarah Lacy
Whenever I tell someone the countries I’m hitting for my new book, they start out nodding, then the nodding slows, then they just get confused. “China, India, Brazil, Israel and…Rwanda.” Then there’s the inevitable question: “Rwanda? Is there even any technology in Rwanda?” Sometimes I even get asked if I have to stay in a tent when I go there.
The answer to the second question is no. There are plenty of hotels, and I don’t do tents unless they have outlets and wifi.
The answer to the tech question two fold. First: Despite the last decade of covering nothing but tech, I actually consider myself more of a reporter who covers entrepreneurs. It just so happens that’s normally correlated with technology, especially in the U.S. But increasingly some of the best opportunities to build the next great billion-dollar company even in markets like India and China are more tech-enabled service and product businesses than classic high-tech plays. And really, are Web businesses even about the sheer technology anymore these days?

The answer to the second question is no. There are plenty of hotels, and I don’t do tents unless they have outlets and wifi.
The answer to the tech question two fold. First: Despite the last decade of covering nothing but tech, I actually consider myself more of a reporter who covers entrepreneurs. It just so happens that’s normally correlated with technology, especially in the U.S. But increasingly some of the best opportunities to build the next great billion-dollar company even in markets like India and China are more tech-enabled service and product businesses than classic high-tech plays. And really, are Web businesses even about the sheer technology anymore these days?

Children and Internet Safety
By Jodie Lawton, Children's Advocacy Services of Greater St. Louis, University of Missouri-St. Louis
In a recent report it was estimated that about 17 million children and teens between 12-17 years of age were on the Internet. (See http://www.pewinternet.org/) for more information about teens online.) This represents about 75% of all the young people in the United States. With so many young people online it is important to think about some of the safety issues. Here are some frequently asked questions.
Where are the areas of the Internet that children or teenagers might come across harmful or inappropriate information?
Harmful and inappropriate material can come from just about everywhere on the Internet-- in an e-mail or instant message, through accidentally finding a pornographic website, in chatrooms, bulletin boards, or news groups.
