Atlanta's airport is not one I recommend unless you have great walking shoes!
Last week I attended the Associational Mission Strategists Excellence Summit hosted by the North American Mission Board.
At that conference I was reminded of the HUGE gap between Northwest Southern Baptists and the rest of North America. In the NWBC we have apporximately 500 churches, serving a population of around 11 million people in Washington, Oregon, the panhandle of Idaho, and a number of churches in Northern California. In comparison some of the associations represented at the conference have upwards of 400 churches - in one major metropolitan area! One is not like the other!
I also learned that as different as we might be the same challenges faces all of us. LOSTNESS is still the most pressing need of the hour. People who do not know Jesus Christ need to know Him. This is not an inner city problem or a rural issue - it is THE challenge.
Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.
You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about
Take a few moments to plan your post
Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.
Don’t forget to add images
Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.
Edit carefully before posting
Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
