"Every youth worker is a communicator, and not just during a sermon. We spend our days trying to deliver the message about the person and truth of Jesus Christ. But how effective is our communication when we do not take advantage of the channels by which our students receive information and develop community? A recent study by Mindshare's Business Planning group in partnership with Alloy Media + Marketing and Brainjuicer found that college students have five times as many social networking "friends" as they do email contacts, and three times as many "friends" as cell phone contacts. A shared wall post, status update or comment can be commented on by multiple people whose only connection may be the original friend. Think about that the next time you post an affirmation, "missed you" comment, or invitation on the wall of the students that attend your ministry. Your comment to the one may be read by students who don't even know you or may provide the opportunity for a student to share or demonstrate his or her faith to a friend. Your post may have three or five times the influence than an e-mail or a text."

Social Studies: Study Reports Students Access An Average Of 14.3 Screens, Have Potential To Reach 671 by Gavin O'Malley, Monday, February 22, 2010, 5:48 PM.
Click here to read the full article.
How does the average college kid's social sphere equate to contacts across all digital channels? Exactly 87 email contacts, 146 cell phone contacts, and 438 "friends" on social networks.
Without factoring in contact overlap, that means every student in the nation has a potential reach of 671 consumers, according to a new "University of Media" study conducted by Mindshare's Business Planning group in partnership with Alloy Media + Marketing and Brainjuicer. The study - which examined where, when and how U.S. college students are using communication channels - found that college men have more email and cell phone contacts, while their female peers have a much greater number of social network friends.
"College women tend to be more sociable than the guys," said Debbie Solomon, managing director of Business Planning at Mindshare. "They have more friends and connect with them more frequently and in greater depth... And when you think about all the contacts they have, it's easy to see how news and ideas can spread rapidly among this group."
Of particular note, students aren't only "friending" people. On the contrary, four out of every 10 college students report having "friended" a brand on a social network - compared to 19% of adults. Also, as unbelievable as it sounds, the study found that college students have an average of 14.3 screens (!) - vastly more than the 5.8 screens that the average adult incorporates into his or her life. Three digital channels - TV, the Web, and cell phones - presently dominate students' lives. According to Solomon: "These media represent the primary ways that brands can communicate with them."
What's more - for brands, friends, and parents alike - digital channels are now the primary means of reaching college students. Text messaging is their most common method of communication, while only 29% prefer face-to-face communication. Meanwhile, the vast majority - 92% - of college kids have watched at least one full TV program on the computer during the past year. A full 83% report accessing shows through a Web site associated with the program, 63% watched on a site "premium" like Hulu or Joost, while 54% used YouTube or another video-sharing site. During the study, 144 students between the ages of 18 and 24 were interviewed via hourly text messages over a two-day period. Survey questions prompted participants to respond with their current location, media they are interacting with at that moment, and any advertising in sight. The methodology concluded with an online survey to further explore consumption behavior and media exposure.

NEED MOMENTUM? GET MOMENTUM!
September 30 - October 2, 2010
Gaylord Texan @ Dallas, TX (near Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport)
Momentum2010 is the unique youth workers' conference designed especially for you, the Assemblies of God youth leader. It's for the paid/unpaid, male/female, junior high/senior high, evangelist/missionary/pastor, expert/novice AG youth worker at the big/small, rural/urban/ suburban, struggling/growing church!
There are many great conferences an AG youth leader can find, but there isn't another conference uniquely like this one... and it only comes around every few years for the AG youth worker.
-
Connect your dreams, opportunities and relationships
- Over 70 collective general sessions, super sessions and workshops.
- 3 days - 44 hours with hundreds of other great youth leaders.
- Who will win the tricked-out, refurbished STL vehicle to be given away?
- Who will win the audio/visual package for their youth ministry?
- The Gaylord Texan property is simply amazing:
- A five-star property conveniently located next to DFW Airport (It is virtually cost equivalent to stay on-site at the Gaylord Texan for two nights at this conference than to pay for a rental vehicle and stay at a discount motel.)
- Discounted premier rooms and outstanding meeting facilities located in Dallas, TX make this the perfect conference location.
- Shop nearby at one of America's premier outlet malls - Grapevine Mills.
- Check out the new Cowboy's Stadium nearby.
It all adds up to momentum for less!
Every youth worker needs time to get momentum. Every AG church should provide their youth worker(s) that momentum.
