6. Viral Evangelism.

Well, it's not really evangelism per se, but it is a means of communicating information about the UMC using available cheap/free media. So, if your Methodisty (that's right, Methodisty), post this in your blog and lets see how many hits on this video we can get in the next week.

(If you would like to save time, you can copy and paste this as the post: (you can also change any part of it that you would like to)

Kevin Watson at http://deeplycommitted.com has started an experiment to see how much social capital Methodist bloggers have. This experiment was prompted by the feeling among some Methodist bloggers that United Methodism does not always do as good of a job as it could at getting the Wesleyan message out there, particularly on-line. So, he wants to see how many views a YouTube video can get if Methodist bloggers work together to promote it. The experiment is to see how many hits the video will receive in two weeks.

If you want to participate you can: First, watch the video below. Second, copy and paste this entire post into a new post on your blog and post it. Third, remind people about this experiment in one week.

Based on the results of the experiment, Kevin will get in touch with the folks at Discipleship Resources and let them know the ways in which Methodist bloggers are often an underused resource.
