• Pray.  Since we’ve already been commissioned (Matthew 28:19) we don’t need further clarification to go and make disciples, but asking for the Holy Spirit’s guidance in cyberspace is invaluable.

• Just start.  New endeavors are intimidating, but fear is not a good master.  Join a social networking service, put up a blog, try podcasting an event, use flickr, add skype.  (all free) 

• Be yourself.  Yes, it’s an act of vulnerability but authenticity has a great ring to it.

• Ask for help.  You will need to ask for help so plan on it.  (Several of the our team members on this blog have helped me at some different points in the past. Any of us can advise or direct you.)

• Persevere. Keep going and don’t be surprised by disappointments.  I’ve had all kinds of snafus just with blogging alone.  It’s part of the online territory so plan to press through.

By the way, if you weren’t aware before now, the Web and the Internet are two different things although not everyone understands the difference.  Add both these concepts to your new vocabulary.
