I'm thinking about putting together a workshop along the lines of "Expanding the Reach of Your Ministry Using Today's Tools". It will look at ideas like PowerPoint presentations (that aren't really new in churches), social networking including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and others, blogging, podcasting, and mass telephone notifications. Every one of the things mentioned above is free to the user (well, there is the expense of hardware to consider for those people who don't have a computer, or a projector or projection screen) but the software applications themselves are free-or there are free versions available for the start-up user.
Once I put this workshop together, I'll market it to churches, ministries, clergy associations, and other non-profit organizations. I'll put together a package that includes the workshop and some consulting to help people get started, and figure out a reasonable compensation scale. I'll have to make it affordable for small churches and organizations that typically haven't considered this in their budgeting process.
Anybody have any feedback for me on this idea? I'd love to hear from you...

The world has shown wisdom in maximizing the potential of communication and, as a result, bad news continue to be circulated en masse. Hence,taking the church to the next level - the technological - is the way to go. We have Good News (God's News) to spread and we have little time; why not avail ourselves of all the methods in-hand to convey our message that time is at-hand? I am thus in support of your idea - wholeheartedly.
