Be The NOW

In the first week of Be The Now, a few things have happened. On the site, we’ve added 13 new posts pointing people to physical or online venues to help, we’ve started our own campaign to walk the walk, and we’ve added one other contributor besides me. On Facebook, we’ve grown to 163 fans! On Twitter, we have 59 followers! The site has logged 319 visits, mainly from the US, but also from Canada and Sweden.

I’m encouraged because as of yet, we’ve done very little advertising. I’ve posted links on Facebook, but other than that- nothing. I feel like people want to help out, but since we’re all stuck in our own world- we don’t know where to look, or even know about opportunities that may be in our own backyard. My theory is that if you make it easy for people to help, they will.

As we grow, I’d like to share my thoughts along the way. The blog page will not necessarily promote venues to help people, as the rest of the site will do that. The blog section will just be the thoughts of the team. This section of the site will be a great spot for us to share the vision of our cause, the ups and downs, and finally- how it changes our lives.

Jesus- the Living Water- is the true hope for our nation. As the government of our nation continuously grows larger, and with the passage of universal healthcare, there’s a theory out there. The theory is; Since The Church has failed to take it’s place in our communities, the government has passed legislation to fill the void. I personally don’t buy it. I don’t think that The Church is doing nothing, I just think they need help telling the story. Don’t get me wrong, we could always do better, but we also need to share what we’ve done. Generally, non-profits don’t have Marketing Departments and Public Relation campaigns. We just do what we can, and hope God works through it.
