Christian Media Army: Online With Ministry

Christian Media Army Is Arising Online

Christian Media Army is on the move on the internet today, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ.

It is a force of Christians who use their gifts, anointing, music, talents and ministry to impact the World for the Kingdom of God through the avenue of media.

You have a gift. You have an anointing. You have skills and talents.

Have you though of promoting these online, without feeling like your promoting yourself?

What is I told you that you can be active online, in ministry, in your service, with your book, and be able to support yourself in these areas of creativity and ministry?

Really?

Yes. Really.

As you do, you become a vital part of the Christian Media Army online.

Because of the Kingdom training by such people as Patricia King of XPMedia.com (who I first heard the term "God's Media Army"), and author and Kingdom Trainer, Ericka D. Jackson, I have been all the more determined to do my part in equipping and activating Christians to take their role in this force.

Here is one example of that training with Ericka and the one of a kind Reach Ministry Marketing System, combining Kingdom Training and Ministry Marketing. This is one training to truly equip you to be an integral part of God's Media Army!

You will also be taught how you can thrive, being supportive by your ministry God has given you!

Christian Media Army Training

Prophetess Julie Meyer:

"'I declare to you: "God is going to have His way in every facet of media as long as people are driven by prayer and passion for HIM and their 'ONE THING' continues to be passion for God and prayer.'"

It states in Mark 16:15:

"And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'

Now you can go to the world, from your home via online with the Good News of Jesus.

I first totally understood the power of this a year ago. I had been involved in ministry marketing for around 5 years and understood it was a force to be contend with, so I began producing my husband's digital online ministry.

FirebrandMinistry.com was a blog where I featured my husband, Pastor Dave's, ministry of preaching and teaching the Word of God.

Before long I began noticing in the back office of our blog, views of this video ministry from all over the world! My husband began actively using his social media sites to continue to encourage and pray for people.

It was fun shouting out to Dave the countries where people were watching the videos: Pakistan, India, South Africa, England, Germany, Ireland.......

Then I was watching God.TV and saw the Word Explosion where Steve Hill was preaching and sharing about how many text message were going out a day, and how big social sites were.....

Steve said..."Who knows...some little kid in some far away country may drive his bicycle into a internet cafe' and start to search and find God....and get saved!"

I was captivated and knew my calling all the more clearly with my passion to use and teach video, ministry marketing, and social media.

The effect on our online digital ministry was amazing. Soon people from all over the world were asking Dave to come to preach, to share more on his Facebook site, and to minister one on one. They were asking him to counsel them on Skype (and later great meetings on "oovoo"..the site I use with the interview above...)

Will You Be In The Christian Media Army?

So, do you sense the call of God on your life to use this thing called the internet, social media, video...and use your gifts to minister?

Do you desire provision for your vision?

I revised my book, Six Market Plan Steps For Ministry Marketing, updating and outlining a basic plan of action. In addition to purchasing the book, I add bonuses with video training, and mental training, such as the five keys to Focus. (I also add a bonus of sending you a cd audio of the book to your home.)

I also am excited to help Ericka D. Jackson with her four part Reach Ministry Marketing System.

This is a one of a kind training you can check out at http://ErickaJackson.com/reach

What will you do? Are you undecided? Worried about finances? Doubting your abilities? Concerned with the economy?

Now is the time. It's a new season.

You have been called for such a time as this!

Ministry Marketing: Do You Know How To Promote The Message

How Do You Promote The Message?

By Ericka D. Jackson

How do you promote the message the Lord has placed within you in a way that people see Jesus and not you?

  This can be a challenge because in order to share the work of the Lord, you lend your name and face to Him as His Body.   The key to how you promote the message without drawing more attention to yourself than you do Jesus, is to be fully led and guided by Him.

He will tell you with whom to share the message He has placed within you, He will guide you to the training you need and He will provide the revelation He is instructing you to share. 

Ericka D. Jackson speaking with Theresa Croft of Ministry Marketing Strategies on how to promote the message training with here training system.

Promote The Message To Proclaim Gospel

Before I put a single word in social networking, an ezine, book or a video, I ask the Lord, “Lord, what would you like to say through me?” It is only when I move out of the way that the Lord can pour His message through me.  

Did you know that Christianity is the slowest growing religion on the earth right now? It is critical to release the teachings of the Lord for such a time as this.

  The more you lift up the name of Jesus with your specific message, the more He will draw men unto you. And the more you must be emptied out and fully realize that it is not at all about you, it is all about Him.  

Although I will be teaching the full process in the upcoming Reach Ministry Marketing System Course, here are a few ways to help you make the name of Jesus and His works even more famous on the earth: 

Receive ALL of your instruction directly from the Lord. This includes what He desires you to teach and the gifts with which He has preordained you to use.

Your face and name should only be the initial draw as you promote the message. Then people should be able to clearly see Jesus in all you do. Make sure you use a professional picture that shows the love and joy of the Lord through the image so people see His light and love through you.

Increase the time you are spending first thing everyday in His presence. Ask Him what He would have you share with His people today. Release only what He has authorized and instructed you to share that day.

Reach Out And Thrive: Ministry Marketing Training

The Reach Ministry Marketing System

By Ericka Jackson

After ten years and thousands of hours of sitting in His presence and studying marketing, I have arrived at The Reach Ministry Marketing System that makes it easy for others to share the message of their ministry with others both locally and round the world.

I am unveiling my marketing system for the first time in one, cohesive training system.

It is not enough to be a great teacher or preacher of the Word. You are also responsible for getting that message into the hands of the people God has set aside for you to reach.

In other words, every ministry has to understand that they have a message to get into the marketplace and the best way to do this. And it has to be effective so you can get back to the core functions of working with the people of God and bringing salvation to the unsaved.

But, most ministers are not wired for business. This lack of business wiring is so prevalent in the ministry community that most ministers are not even comfortable working their ministry as their livelihood and just passing along your gifting for free.

But, Jesus needs you to complete the works that He began upon the earth. He needs you to plant His Kingdom.

How can you do this if no one knows the message He has given you to carry to His people?

This means that as ministers we have to also become masters at connecting or what the world calls marketing.

This is a serious challenge for most ministers because we are heart people. Ministry and marketing are not in the same sentence for most ministers.I have taken the head-ache, frustration and overwhelm out of the process of you finding and connecting with your flock. With this proven system, you will easily be able to locate your flock and communicate with them both online and offline powerfully and often.

I have perfected this marketing system over the last ten years. When I began my ministry, I could not find ANYTHING that spoke to the unique needs of a ministry in sharing your information with others. It wasn't as easy as plugging in my information into secular marketing systems, programs and teaching.

I had to figure out how to do this on my own with absolutely NO model for those called to build and grow a ministry outside of the local church structure.

I perfected this system as I had to rebuild my ministry from scratch three different times. The first time was when I made a decision to move into full obedience and leave corporate training to teach "spiritual" principles. But, Jesus did not let me get away with this for long.

As I was filming a TV show back in Seattle, right in the middle of the walk-through He asked me, "Why do you keep hiding me?" That day I had to hit the "restart" button and shift my work to the Christians to which I was called.I had to start over. Almost NONE of my professional contacts were in the Christian community. I had to learn very quickly how to redefine my target market to taking responsibility for having a portion of the Lord's flock to teach and equip.

As soon as I was plugging along and had built my e-list to thousands, the Lord called me to move my ministry from Seattle, WA to Raleigh, NC. Not only did I have to start over in a new location where NOBODY knew my name or my work, the Lord told me that I had to terminate the two training contracts I had with other companies in order to release all He has placed within me.

I had to dust off the marketing principles I had learned the first and second time around and move them into high-gear because I had only weeks to produce the income that was needed to sustain both the ministry and my daughter...as a single mother.

I had to get real good really fast.

And About that Money Thing

It is time to activate your divine scriptural right to make a living through your ministry (see 1 Corinthians 9: 14). God has given you gifts so you can apply those gifts to building His Kingdom on a full-time basis. Face it, your vision needs ALL of you.

Kingdom Training With Your Ministry Marketing Online

Kingdom Training To Be In God's Media Army

Why kingdom training?

In my pursuit of providing content for you to learn basic ministry marketing strategies, I realized we have to be whole, healed, and clean vessels of honor to minister. My heart is to train Christians for God's media army to make an impact on the world for Jesus Christ.

I said it before, and I'll say it again: If the Jihad can use the internet to train up their terrorist groups, Christians need to be just as diligent to use the same tool to train and activate Christians to bring the Kingdom of God to their corner of the world.

Kingdom training deals with a spirit of excellence that reveals God's character.

I wanted to know even more about the Kingdom of God, and how I could relate it to you as you go forward with your ministry.

So I went to the word and began to study what truly is the Kingdom. I was also blessed to read material from some great Kingdom Trainers and godly teachers who only inspired me all the more to desire to include this in my family, my life, in my coaching and in my ministry marketing.

Kingdom Training Revealed

I started out considering kingdom training by realizing I had to excel in all things. One morning in my time with the Lord, I read Proverbs 22 verse 29:

"Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before Kings; he will not stand before unknown men.”

I've read this verse many times, but this time God gently spoke to my heart.

He said, "I see your heart, Theresa, and wanting to excel as a minister, as a consultant, as a marketplace woman. But do you really want to excel in My Kingdom?"

"Yes, Lord!", I responded back. "I want to excel with the spirit of excellence in all I do giving you the glory!"

The Lord then very matter-of-fact spoke to my heart:

"Excel first as a wife! Be that Proverbs 31: 25 and 26 woman: 'Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness.'"

Then the Lord said, "Excel as a mother. Be that Proverbs 31:27 woman who,'watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also and he praises her: 'Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.'"

Gulp. "I hear you Lord!"

So I understand the order in this kind of Kingdom training. It's simply this: Business principles are great, but God's Kingdom principles must come first.

We ministers sometime gets so busy tending to other people's needs and demands, that we forget we need to stay connected to the vine, to be clean, to be whole, healthy vessels.

We must deal with those closest to us and those relationships around us now and from the past.

We must tend to the relationships that wounded us in the past, those hurts that have left us carrying baggage of wounds and extreme emotional scars.

This means to walk in forgiveness, to not be so quick to be offended, and to continually walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.

As author and Kingdom Trainer, Ericka D. Jackson states in her latest book, "Your Heart is the Key: Clearing Emotional Baggage From Your Life"

"One of the most damaging things on the planet is an insecure and unhealed minister. It is the unhealed ministers that walk, and insecurity that leads to wounding their flock, holding back the gifts of those in their congregation, sitting people down instead of equipping them for the works of the ministry, and attempting to get people to honor them instead of the instruction of Jesus through the Holy Spirit."

She goes on to say, "This is so dangerous because an insecure minister will often pose the option of following traditions of man and rudiments of the world which are not of Christ versus righteousness which is the order of Jesus that is led by the Holy Spirit.”

Basic Keys To Kingdom Training

I believe there are basic keys to the kingdom training:

They have to do with following the Word of God, being a humble servant, and walking in continual obedience.

Attributes of Kingdom people can be found in Matthew chapter 5 verse one through Matthew chapter 7 verse 27.

In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus outlines the primary attributes of people who are walking out the fruit of Kingdom training.

These attributes include:

Humility

Willingness to suffer persecution

A strong commitment to God's commandments

Refusal to substitute false piety for genuinely right behavior

A life of prayer

Seeking first the Kingdom over material things

And above all, acknowledging the Lordship of Jesus Christ by obeying the revealed Will of God.

In addition, the call to Kingdom living and ministry includes the expectation that the Holy Spirit will empower the minister to walk in such a way that the fruits of the spirit will clearly be seen, such as righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.Let us endeavor to be just as committed in our Kingdom training as well as in our ministry pursuits, so as to have an impact on this world for Christ.

I believe God is raising up people like you, people who have a powerful anointing, who write powerful books, sing heart moving songs, make inspiring movies….People like you who are being raised up to be a part of God's Media Army….

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden…" Matt5:14

As the days get darker, the light will shine more brightly. May all you do be a true reflection of the Kingdom of God!

Don't Shoot The Wounded-Reach Ministry Marketing System

What is that saying?

God's army is the only one that shoots its own wounded?

Remember that song by Chuck Girard back in the early "80's?

Don't shoot the wounded, they need us more than ever

They need our love no matter what it is they've done

Sometimes we just condemn them,

And don't take time to hear their story

Don't shoot the wounded, someday you might be one

It's easy to love the people who are standing hard and fast

Pressing on to meet that higher calling

But the ones who might be struggling, we tend to judge too harshly

And refuse to try and catch them when they're falling

We put people into boxes and we draw our hard conclusions

And when they do the things we know they should not do

We sometimes write them off as hopeless

And we throw them to the dogs

Our compassion and forgiveness sometimes seem in short supply

So I say...

I know YOU are part of the solution to bring hope, comfort, and

an answer to those wounded by the Body of Christ.

Or salvation to those who don't know Him.

You have a gift, anointing…It may be in your particular ministry,

your book, your music, or your service.

And I truly believe you are part of the answer for these end times.

It's time to take action. The harvest is white…and a great many
