We’re pleased to introduce you to Together on Mission – otherwise known as TOM. This is a Facebook Application which was the brainchild of staff and students at the University of Central Florida.
Basically the idea is to engage movement builders where they “live and breathe” on the internet. For many students, and now days just about anyone in the 70 and under crowd, that’s Facebook!
Together on Mission provides a central place for people of a local movement to share stories, resources, prayer requests and build momentum towards reaching peers with the love of Christ. All information shared is kept private inside the movement – others on Facebook, whether friends or “strangers” are unable to view it.
Like all Facebook Applications, TOM is an optional added feature which Facebook users may find and choose to turn on or off – allowing the TOM app to interact with his or her profile information. It’s called 3rd Party Software because it did not originate from either the user nor Facebook itself. The software was developed by our teammates here at Headquarters and the information stored in TOM is actually stored safe and secure on our servers.
Go ahead Facebook users and addicts, give it a whirl! This could be perfect for your student ministry, church group or even a neighborhood outreach.
