Reaching Out to High School and College Students Via YouTube
- 0 Comments
This just in 3 and half hours ago from this posting. NNYM (National Network of Youth Ministries) is putting together a campaign to try and connect with high school and college students via YouTube.
I have posted their email that was sent:
NNYM is joining scores of ministries all part of the Youth Transition Network in a national YouTube outreach to high school and college students beginning this week and ongoing. We have three desired outcomes from this outreach.1.) High School Seniors will be motivated to use LiveAbove.com to connect with local churches and college/university campus ministries now, long before they arrive at their new campus next fall.
2.) College Students who are experiencing the difficulties depicted in the video would connect with churches and Christian campus ministries in their campus city through LiveAbove.com. Our prayer is that this will include lost sheep from the church and those who do not yet know the Lord.
3.) Gate Keepers (parents, youth leaders, pastors) will be exposed to our joint effort to motivate, prepare and connect students to our ministries before they leave home.
How Will it Work?
On October 18th NNYM will join other partners such as: Chi Alpha, Campus Crusade for Christ, Youth for Christ, Campus Ambassadors, Coalition for Christian Outreach, Student Venture, Christian Educators Association, Urbnet and many more in asking staff to help push the YouTube video to the top of the play list so that thousands of students may become exposed to the video.
The viral nature of YouTube will be aided by the addition of a $5,000 scholarship that students, parents or relatives can designate to the student/school of their choice. As students register to win at LiveAbove.com, they will have the opportunity to request information from the ministries on their college/university campus of choice.
Pray that God will bring tens of thousands into contact with our ministries across the country as a result of this effort. We are asking for your assistance in four ways:
1.) Later this week, on October 18, you will get an email with the link to the YouTube video…click on it to watch the 2 minute video yourself
2.) Send the link to all your students (or staff) by e-mail and push it a your weekly meeting
3.) Embed the YouTube video in your Facebook and Myspace pages and send invitations to as many as possible
4.) Forward the link out to others you know and ask them to watch the video
Working together we can place the video on the front page of YouTube and reach out to thousands, maybe millions, of students.
Thanks for working together to help this next graduating class Get Connected BEFORE they get settled in their new college setting next fall.
