Introducing myWBS 2.0

Everyday I see how your efforts are impacting the Kingdom. It matters. It is changing lives, and therefore we dream through faith to do even more in 2009.

This year is going to be exciting. What’s new with technology and ministry? It’s a difficult question to answer because so much is moving so fast. But today I thought, “That’s it! I want to tell you about myWBS 2.0.” It starts with a website called “Facebook.”

Facebook is a 5-year old social utility that helps people communicate with their friends, family and coworkers. Facebook technologies facilitate the sharing of information through real-world social connections. Anyone can sign up for Facebook and interact with the people they know in a trusted environment. The results?

FACT: Facebook has more than 150 million active users.
FACT: Over 50% of Facebook users are outside of college.
FACT:
Over 70% of Facebook users are outside the U.S.

FACT: The fastest growing group is those over 30.

WBS is keenly aware of the social networking phenomena surrounding Facebook, YouTube, and MySpace. For more than 2 years, WBS has been developing a new system to capture the positive elements of this type of communication and apply them to teaching the Gospel.

WBS is about transforming the world through the Good News of Jesus. When people of common interests converge on the web to learn, share, discuss, and recommend – like a marketplace at the crossroads – the environment is ripe for evangelism.

In 2009, WBS is releasing a series of new tools which will provide you and your students new ways of sharing your common interest of learning about Christ.  These tools are part of the new myWBS, “Version 2.0″.

myWBS 2.0 brings all WBS users – email and postal teachers, email, postal, and web students, follow up workers, churches and staff – into one social network for the purpose of growing in respect to salvation.

WBS is joining evangelism and social networking like no other Christian ministry. Join WBS as we continue to blaze the trail at GodSpeed. We look forward to telling you more and having you join us.

That’s it!
