A Prayer for the Move of God's Spirit


Lord of Hosts. This is your world. You love these wandering souls more than me. They are created in your image. We know the enemy seeks to enter by another way to steal, kill and destroy.
You are the Great Story Teller, the Great Story Giver. Bring life and meaning to those who so desperately need you. Fan the flame of authentic, passionate story tellers who engage and portray…so that you are lifted up . Grow this movement. Use each partner. Bring to the table the ones you desire. In your Son’s name. Amen

Wikinomics


Collaboration is a hot buzz word. The book Wikinomics (Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams) is a must read on the changing world of open source collaboration. In this book, the authors describe the global trend through examples like Linux, Wikipedia and Flickr. They articulate the big ideas behind the collaboration movement. This is a very important trend to understand for the sake of discovering ways to collaboratively create and use visual media for the kingdom.

The New Collaborative Possibilities


TED is a unique, secular platform established to explore and expose new "big ideas." Here's one in the spirit of the book, "Wikinomics" (a must read for anyone thinking globally and how can we do more together than we do individually). Howard Rheingold (Smart Mobs) presents in 20 minutes the emerging power of collaboration. Worth your time!
