One thing led to another in the conversation and somebody made the comment that life would really suck without Jesus. Immediately, we knew we had an idea. So we decided to issue a challenge to people to share with us why their life would suck without Jesus. We started a facebook group called "My Life Would Suck Without Jesus" and are inviting people to post a 2 minute video about why their life would be different without Him. We're also asking folks to e-mail us and vote for which video they like the best. The maker of the winning video will get $100 to spend at Best Buy.
I've been overwhelmed by the response to this little project so far. In a week we've had 400 people join the group. We've gotten inquiries from people whose lives suck right now and who want to know more about Jesus. It's been great.
We are already planning on doing this contest again next year, but on a bigger scale.
If you get a chance, drop by facebook and check out the group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=147713390197
