A few statistics by day 5 of 10-Fold:

· Over 8000 people signed in
· Over 33,000 hits to the website
· People from 82 countries/territories have logged on
· Half of the traffic is coming from Facebook

But numbers don't tell everything, here are some comments:

10-Fold is a great way to inform us about missions. I'm glad to be part of the United Methodist Church and our involvement in helping Haiti.

My confirmation class is checking the 10-fold site each day, and we are calling this our "virtual field trip" for October.

I was watching the Webcast when I noticed the post of one of my youth on Facebook. She stated that she was bored! So I invited her to watch the Webcast. By the end, she had asked questions, wanted to make a donation to SHADE through The Advance, got UMVIM information to volunteer in Brazil, and wrote me back to talk to me more about leadership roles in the church.

I hope that each of you have been a part of this connecting opportunity. If not, it is not too late! Go to www.10-fold.org. And then, pass the word along. Webcasts are archived for your use in the days to come. Enjoy!

Blessings to each of you today,
Hope
