...And the Award Goes To
On this page when I speak of Social Innovation, I'm not just talking about Social Media. While that is a vital part, it also entails doing something extraordinary to positively impact a community through deeds. With that said...
I met this Pastor on Facebook who was undertaking a great feat. He was launching a church in the middle of a Metropolis. It is one of the fastest growing cities South of the Mason Dixon line. So I followed what he was doing, read his frequent emails and updates; his churches development was really gaining momentum. With over 2,000 friends and counting on Facebook and who knows how many other followers in other networks, his practical message about life reaches across oceans and mountains at the push of a button. At this time in history, when many people are facing job loss at extreme rates, the message of hope needs to be given in unconventional ways tho reach lives that it may have missed. While implementing the blueprint for the church, he also challenged his following to contribute to a uniform and toy drive which blessed lives of inner city elementary school students. It is easy to see that he truly believes that nothing is impossible with God. And through his use of social media that message has gone viral. If you are in the Atlanta Area this Sunday, you should check out the grand opening. If you don't already know, the Social Innovator of the Year is none other than the "Facebook Pastor", Shaun King!
