Win an iPad

Chris on June 9th, 2010

We are giving away an iPad as part of our 40 40 40 sale.  Entering is easy.

  1. Go to www.Simplyyouthministry.com/404040
  2. Fill out the form and tell us why your ministry needs a robot
  3. Watch this blog on Friday to find out who won!

Here are a few of the great responses to the robot question we’ve got so far:

Listen to the drama stories from junior high girls.  Respond with ”ohhh’s” every 3mn.

AppropriBot: Pull Boys pants up, give girls sweaters as needed. The robot would also pick up on pheromones of students. When pheromone levels are too high, it would run in circles and make loud and annoying noises to distract students. It would also have the voice of Morgan Freeman.

I would have him lead worship because he would have a T-Pain-like computer generated voice.

Good Luck!

Justin, Welcome to the Team

Here’s a confession about our office, we love pranks, and who better to prank than a brand new team member.  Poor Justin didn’t know what he was getting into.

Ok so we may have doctored the photo a bit.  And just so everyone get’s the chance to show Justin so love, we would love for you to give us your best caption for his picture:

Jump over to Facebook.com/SimplyYouthMinistry and leave your caption for a chance to win 5000, 2500, or 1000 reward points.
Be sure to get your entries in by 3 PM Mountain time on Thursday.

Simply Youth Ministry Rewards Launches

Chris on March 25th, 2010

We are super excited about our new Simply Youth Ministry Rewards program that we are launching today.  It’s still in beta, so we might find a few little issues, but we are too excited to keep it from you any longer.  You will now be able to earn rewards points with every purchase from SimplyYouthMinistry.com to use in the new rewards store to buy more resources for your ministry.

How does it work?
It’s simple, you get 10 points for every $1 you spend.  If you can do math, you can collect points.  (Even if you don’t have enough fingers and toes to figure it out, you can also see how much you’ll earn on every product page):

So what do I do once I have points?
You can redeem them for downloadable resources in the Simply Youth Ministry Rewards Store. Its super awesome and has almost all Simply Youth Ministry downloadable product available.

Visit the Rewards Store to check it out.

How do I find out how many points I have?
Just log into your SimplyYouthMinistry.com account and you’ll see a new link on your account page to see your reward point summary. Again, you will need to do a little math but nothing an abacus can’t help you figure out.

Log-in to your account or get started with one HERE.  (Even if you don’t think you need anything right now, you never know when a contest will come along that will give you bonus points, and you’ll need an account for that.)
