Joe Bryant, Intrenet Beggar

Since I will not be able to attend on Wednesday night, I thought I would take a few minutes and give you an update on my Kingdom Assignment project.

My plan is that I'm going to basically be an internet beggar. With my $100 I have secured the website: ACauseforChrist.com and have received a commitment from a website development company to build a very high-end, upscale, classy web site. The site will be designed to bring attention to the two ministries that I want to raise money for: The Walk through Bethlehem and Charles Amisee's (sp ?) work in Haiti. The website will include a personal statement from me about my being brought back closer to the Lord through my attendance at PV Presbyterian and the immense impact these two missions have made on my personal and spiritual life. There will be two short videos highlighting the two missions along with a "Donate Now" box which will allow individuals to make a donation through an SSL (secure socket layer) connection using PayPal or any major credit card. The site will also include a short summary of the Kingdom Assignment program along with links to the Kingdom Assignment website and Lespawaworldwide.com which the website for the Haiti mission as well as the Ponte Vedra Presbyterian Church website.

Most people are not aware of the immense power that is being unleashed through viral internet marketing. My project intends to take fully advantage of the latest cutting-edge principles of the internet marketing community. This will include tagging and adding all meta data as well as invisible page file names to include keywords for better Search Engine crawling and indexing. We're also going to be able to do the newest and latest SEO (search engine optimization) which will greatly increase the visibility of the site on Google. The website development company, GoBreeze.com, has agreed to pull out all stops as it relates to media attention, intense tags for all search engines, strategic placements of news releases, etc. We are also going to create an on-line Blog which will have multiple daily updates. Then, utilizing the power of social networking through sites like Facebook, Squidoo, MySpace, LinkedIn, Flickr, Diggl, etc.

The final action will be an intense email campaign to every email address we can muster. In effect, we will be creating a viral chain letter where we will be asking everyone who receives our message two requests. One, no matter if it is only $1, PLEASE contribute to this wonderful cause, and two, please forward the message and website on to everyone on their contact list.

I candidly don't know what the end result will be, but this is a website with a fabulous story that will be in place with all the internet marketing "gimmicks" for several years. With God's blessing I pray we raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.
