Josh GriffinMore Posts Follow Doug Fields on Twitter: Update

Are you following Doug Fields on Twitter? Andy has one more week to get 1,000 people following him on Twitter. The good news is that DF crossed 700 today.

And Doug is great at posting (Surprise – he would make a great blogger, I’m telling you). Add me too if you want, but for sure follow Fields to help Andy win the bet!

Josh GriffinMore Posts Welcome to Twitter Doug

Game on!

During yesterday’s Simply Youth Ministry Podcast, Andy Brazelton and Doug Fields made a bet. Andy has been hounding Doug to blog for years. Doug has rejected… sometimes not so politely. Anyway, Andy made a comment like, “Fields, you’d have a 1,000 people join you in Twitter if you tried it.” Doug wasn’t so optimistic (partly because he’s “old” and doesn’t understand how it works).

Doug bet Andy that there wouldn’t be 1000 to sign on. He agreed to a one month experiment once he gets 100 followers. Our podcast doesn’t even post until Friday night and he’s already got 125. What do you think? Will he get 1,000 in a month? I see him daily and I’m still interested in his posts. That’s the story behind the competition. Fields doesn’t lose many bets… let’s help Andy win. Join now!

Cloud of Witnesses
This is a cool shot from an activity in Doug Fields’ message on Saturday night of the Group Youth Ministry Conference. Everyone wrote a “faith blocker” and tossed it into the air. People were asked to pick up one of the papers that landed near them and pray for that person and their faith blocker. It was a cool, interactive community experience.

Josh GriffinMore Posts Best Year Ever – Week 2

Best Year Ever Week 2 of 2 is now in the can, what a great weekend! We had a great cover song from Foo Fighters up front, then transitioned into a nice welcome and funny Student Zone video. We continued to plug texting, and were super excited to see how many students got our innagural text this week. After a game of Reverse Cell Phone Shootout (we call someone in the crowd instead of them calling us) I did the series recap and set up the night. My favorite part was student testimonies of putting these principles into action – then Doug Fields led us in part 2 of Best Year Ever by emapasizing walk with Jesus. So fun!
