More than just the sum of all the parts, there is a much more going on in everything than what we can measure. If we settle for only the results that we can see, we will miss the greater good.

Just like the saying “A little bit goes a long way”, it sure goes some way indeed. Everything is worth, someone hears our cry, and that as long as God leads or spurs us on, if anything.

Each one really fulfills a different purpose. I have likened Facebook to a big family reunion, where there are some kids playing games, old folks trading memories and young ones talking about the latest things. You can observe everything and jump in where you feel comfortable. Twitter feels more like a convention hall, city center, grand central – less familiar but more exciting. Blogging is yet another animal – so much to learn but having a lot of fun learning it.

I agree Jeannie – so many great smaller non-profits that are getting exposure. I will check out Susan as well.

Just wanted to add that in addition to goodwill, network, and the relationships, we first have to know you’re out there. Social media is the platform for everyone. It is so universal, it’s amazing. What a great time we are in, where it is so easy to let the world know who we are, what we do and why we do things. Not only that, it’s a platform to seek and receive help as well. No it is not a waste of time, there is a learning curve of course, and when you know how to do it (here comes efficiency) then we can do greater things and reach more who need us. And the law of nature will bring to us what we need.

Please continue your great work.

I want you to meet Susan Smith of http://togetherweflourish.com , she just got approved as a non-profit organization and she is helping non-profits get noticed online.

Hi Jonathan,

I met you on Twitter, got to know you on Facebook, and really learned about the issues on your blog. WIthout Twitter, I wouldn’t be here. I’m grateful to know you and your mission.

Joy to you and yours,

Jeanette

There are many brokenhearted people who are bursting with love for others who have been hurt as well.

I look at social media as a new mission field full of brokenhearted seekers.

Not to worry, I am sure I am much worse in your language.

Twitter is about connections and community – Rosana, the best way to begin to help is to join our OperationSAFE Twitter Team and help us spread the word about the work that we are doing. How to do that practically?

When you log on to twitter, do a search for the tag #opsafe, you will see my posts and the posts of other people who are helping. Here are some things you can do to join the community and help it grow.

1. Retweet #opsafe tweets – it is that simple!
2. Follow others who are tweeting #opsafe
3. Introduce yourself to others who are tweeting #opsafe and share your passion
4. Introduce your friends to #opsafe

Thank you so much,

Jonathan
