Christting Tips and Hints
We
always send our pics separate first. Next we only the
text. In our area with the extra written message with
the pic… it sometimes doesn’t go through.
We take phone photos of objects and once a day
someone in our group sends out a photo and asks the
group what it is. We made it into a monthly contest and
its fun.
In our group we take pics of church sign messages
that are clever and send them out.
We like doing something in our group everyday and
several times a day. It’s encouraging especially if it
GOD related.
Sometimes our weekly group leader just asks us
questions about the bible or just sends out a verse
sometime during the day. So many times the timing is so
perfect like Jesus knew I needed it.
I had to up my phone plan because this stuff is
so much fun and producing fruit in my life. So make sure
you have an unlimited texting plan cause every time you
send a text to your group and if you are in a group of
10 you are really sending 10 texts at once.
Since I got into a Christting group I now take it upon
myself to send encouraging texts to others outside my
group just to support them in times when they need it.
I am always looking for phone photo opportunities
now and save the pics on my phone to describe my own
future Christtings
I actually look forward to getting Christtings
each day from my group. It’s one of the high points of
my day!
With our small group we are always trying to come
up with clever outside the box fun ideas each day for
our Bible Studies. It sure makes this activity fun.
There is allot of teasing we do in our group as
well as the bible stuff. I’m a fan of Christting!
I see how important it is to
respond to the senders study ASAP, in this activity
because the person is wondering if the study even made
it out. Even if it is “got it or thanks” at the least
tells the sender the study made it out. One can always
respond to it later.
We need to
remember to address the group with a G every time with
any of our group conservation. When addressing a
specific person only use their initials only.
On my phone if I am typing out a
SMS to anyone and one comes in at that time if I don’t
open it right away if disappears , never to be found.
When I open the inbound text the one I am working on is
automatically saved and I can go back to it later and
finish it.
If given size choices on photos
from your phone stay with small or medium. Large and
original pics many times will not go through. U can
always take a pic of something save it and MMS it later.
I see now that it is important
for the weekly group leader to plan ahead for that week
of responsibility. A weekly group leader should at the
very least send something out each day for the group to
ponder. At the very least a short Biblical activity
should be planned each day.
