As I’m finishing up things at the office, I just finished typing this information on Wayne Hamilton, former Executive Director of the GOP party in Texas.
\nI think the message goes a long way towards ministry and driving\/communicating your message our The Message – The Gospel.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Driving the message is always important in politics,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hamilton said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Democrats did a great job making Newt Gingrich look like an extremist. But the Democrats don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t follow their script very well lately. For that matter, the Republicans haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t either. During the latest redistricting, the message was controlled from a Republican standpoint. Susan Weddington was responsible for the message and the state party was in a position to drive the message of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfair redistricting.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 They had credibility as the majority party and when the Democrats left the state the Republican party set out talking points. Ted Rueter and Robert Black helped implement the strategy then.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nHamilton said that grassroots efforts played a major role in helping push the message and agenda.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153During redistricting people were updated and informed constantly,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hamilton said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When you can keep people updated and informed you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to do much. The party did a phenomenal job in the media. The party also used paid media, which of course gets you earned media.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nBut despite the continued use of mass media, Hamilton said the most effective way to drive a message is through personal interaction.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tom Craddic said it was the most effective grassroots driven message ever and it was a text book example on how to communicate a message,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hamilton said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We live in a very impersonable world where we work in one place and live in another. The personal touch of someone coming by and talking to you may be the only touch they have but it can make a world of difference. That can be seen especially in local raises like the city council or county commissioner elections which are sometimes decided by hundreds if not a dozen votes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI think that’s why churches and ministry need to continue to utilize technology like Flickr, MySpace, blogs and more to put a personal demension and touch on the ministry.
\nAs ministries grow bigger and bigger and the outreach grows, you need to take advantage of every possible way to be personable and reaching out to your “clients.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As I’m finishing up things at the office, I just finished typing this information on Wayne Hamilton, former Executive Director of the GOP party in Texas.
