April 29, 2007 - Kick Off Blog

This is the kick off of this Blog.
I would like to get feedback about using this as a way to communicate.

We already have a Google Groups account that we are supposed to using for updates.

We can get a web hosting and web name
If we go this route, Touchaheart.com is already taken.
I tried "homeless-hawaii.com" and it is available.

Here are some other names to consider if we are going to have a web page.
HOMELESSALOHASTATE.COM
HOMELESSHI.COM
HOMELESSHONOLULU.COM
HOMELESSALOHA.COM
MYHOMELESSHAWAII.COM
HOMELESSHAWAIILIVE.COM
HOMELESS-HAWAIIONLINE.COM
HOMELESS-HAWAIIHOME.COM
HOMELESS-HAWAIISITE.COM
HOMELESS-HAWAIIWEB.COM
HOMELESS-HAWAIILIVE.COM
HOMELESS-HAWAIIBLOG.COM
MYHOMELESS-HAWAII.COM
THEHOMELESS-HAWAII.COM
OFFICIALHOMELESS-HAWAII.COM

I have web hosting that can be used for the next 2 years for free, and longer if this works.
It is 5 gigs so that won't be a problem - or at least I don't think so.

If this is something to be considered, who will maintain and contribute to it?

Eugene could us this as a way to publish his journey, struggles, prayers, etc.
We can also use a website base for the organization - tie the Blog into the website.
We can also have others that do ministry in the field (Pastor Curtis) do a Blog as to their experiences and prayer needs.

If we can get the churches to "help out" with a needs listed;
Then, we can address them through participation of the people in the churches we contact.

Example:
[1] (Pokai) So and so needs notebooks and pencils for their children
[2] (Blaisdel) Indian Duane needs a brain
[3] (General) Corinthia needs a tune up so she can get to work
[4] Etc..

If needs are specifically listed and advertised, like Angel tree they might have a "sponsor" who will help resolve it. They can stay anonymous if they chose.

They would contact Touch A Heart and get the item resolved.

Just an idea.

I need feedback please.
