Someone said to me, “What’s the purpose of Twitter? You can’t say anything worthy in 140 characters.” Well first of all that statement would fit nicely into a Twitter post, or “tweet”, with 60+ characters left to grow.

Like it or not it’s being used by thousands of people every day. So let’s put personal opinions aside for a moment and take a look at what makes it such a great tool for communicating then ask ourselves whether we should use it or not for ministries and churches.
