Each preacher should mull over beginning their personal pastor blog. It is a very efficient way to minister to multitudes of people worldwide. Let me communicate with you a few suggestions as to how you can use your own blog to minister to folks.

First, a pastors blog will permit you to develop the ministry opportunities you have to your own congregation. You can use it as a way to share your own special insights about life in the flock you pastor. From making regular announcements to posting your preaching notes, you can come into contact with daily the people you usually only join on Sundays.

You can place your web page address in the church bulletin, on your church’s business card, adverts your church places in the paper, and intermittently even on the church billboard. You will be in awe at the amount of your congregation who will come by to observe what you have authored on your site.

Secondly, you can use your own pastoral web page to make relationships with other ministers around the world. Ministers often hunt for the clergy inspiration and insight.

I consistently receive emails from preachers in different parts of the United States and around the world who have engaged and used my sermon outlines in their own churches. Each time I get such an email, it always encourages me. I now have pastor buddies spread around the globev with which I have repeated communication. What a blessing this is to me on a personal level.

Thirdly, your own web site will allow you to broaden your pulpit to the world. I commenced my own web site just over a year ago and use it mostly to post free online sermons for ministers around the earth to access. As of the point of this writing, I average about 1000 visitors per day to my Sermon Seedbed site. The site visitors come from more than 180 different nations. Last year I had over 3 million hits which is a lot of mousing around on one little place part of having your own pastor’s blog.

Each week, somewhere around the globe, there are pastors presenting sermons and teaching Bible sermon outlines and materials that I have put together. What a delight to be positioned to help other pastors in this way. You also can make a difference in the lives of other churches through starting your own web site. If you need advice on how to do it, just visit my Sermon Seedbed site and e-mail me through the contact page. I will be more than glad to communicate with you how to get going.
