Project Miraculous is a name I am giving an internet based project to advance the kingdom of God via the internet. Because the project is designed to achieve extremely big results, the project will require me to grow in my web marketing skills to the very highest level possible and grow as a person as well. The Apostle Paul wrote: "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win". (1 Corinthians 9:24). In addition, I would like to get others involved and ideally it would be great to see these individuals improve their web marketing skills too.
Right now, there are some exciting Christian projects in terms of web evangelism and Christians are achieving great things via the internet as can be seen in this article on internet evangelism and other internet outreach: Internet evangelism.
The Christian internet evangelism organization Global Media Outreach indicates that as of September 2019 over 1,900,000,000 "gospel visits" have occurred via their websites.
In addition, Project 100 Million is the evangelism and personal discipleship ministry of Network211 whose mission is to reach 100,000,000 people worldwide with the Gospel. In April of 2020, the project achieved nearly 40 million gospel presentations. I would like to get involved in Project 100 million and also launch a nonprofit that does internet evangelism.
The Christian Post wrote an article entitled Study Reveals Internet Evangelism Is Effective which indicates that internet evangelism is effective.
The Christian Post states:
I know that seeking and relying on God is how miracles are accomplished and it is how we change as a person. I also know that God can open big doors in order to make a project successful because a person working alone can only do so much.
In the classic 2004 hockey movie Miracle, coach Herb Brooks said about the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey team beating the Soviet Union Olympic hockey team:
For example, even people who learn basic memory techniques and practice a short while with them, remember a lot more.
According to the book Your Memory. How It works & How To Improve It by Kenneth Higbee , PH.D.:
Below is some fascinating information about how memory training actually changes the structure of the brain quoted from the science journal Neuron (it involves the common memory improvement technique called mnemonics):
In response, Coach Herb Brooks said about the importance of teamwork:
The famous Chinese general and strategist Sun Tzu similarly said: "Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances."
A famous Civil War general said a key to victory is having the "Firstest with the mostest". General Douglas MacArthur said, "The history of war proves that nine out of ten times an army has been destroyed because its supply lines have been cut off...”. Web marketing often requires financial resources and forming alliances (or at least getting cooperation from other webmasters/others such as getting link requests granted), therefore I created the resource: Partnering and fundraising
Google Trends shows how often a particular search-term is entered relative to the total search volume. It provides Google search volume data across various regions of the world, and in various languages.
If you look at the Google trends worldwide graph for the terms God and Jesus below, there was an increase in July 2009, but then the terms largely plateaued from July of 2012 onward. The search terms Jesus/God must increase at Google trends.
In order for Christendom to make further progress in the short term in terms of advancing Christianity is if Christians work harder, learn new skills and adopt new tactics/strategies. I have some ideas concerning this matter that I will start implementing and refine to a greater degree.
In the meantime, since the quote from the 2004 movie Miracle mentions preparation, I offer a few quotes below:
“I will prepare and some day my chance will come.” - Abraham Lincoln
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”- Abraham Lincoln
“Unfortunately, there seems to be far more opportunity out there than ability.... We should remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation.”- Thomas A. Edison
“Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.” - Alan Armstrong
"Success is won by those who believe in winning and then prepare for that moment. Many want to win, but how many prepare? That is the big difference. A sound value system held water then, holds water today, and will hold water in the future." - Herb Brooks
"Let me start with issuing you a challenge: Be better than you are. Set a goal that seems unattainable, and when you reach that goal, set another one even higher." - Herb Brooks
"You don't have enough talent to win on talent alone." - Herb Brooks
“You can't be common, the common man goes nowhere; you have to be uncommon." - Herb Brooks
"Great moments are born from great opportunities." - Herb Brooks
The Christian Post states:
Online evangelism is producing real disciples for Christ, according to a recent study.
Over half of those who made a decision for Jesus over the Internet have subsequently shared their faith with others, Global Media Outreach's study reveals.
Additionally, 34 percent read their Bibles daily and nearly half pray for at least 10 minutes a day...
The study, called the Christian Growth Index, measured the responses of more than 100,000 people from around the world...
Fifty-one percent of those surveyed said they shared their faith three times or more and 37 percent said they shared their faith at least once or twice.
Global Media Outreach is a global ministry that presents the Gospel online through websites such as WhoisJesus-Really.com and GrowinginChrist.com. There are more than 5,500 trained online missionaries worldwide who respond to questions asked by seekers through emails.
I know that seeking and relying on God is how miracles are accomplished and it is how we change as a person. I also know that God can open big doors in order to make a project successful because a person working alone can only do so much.
In the classic 2004 hockey movie Miracle, coach Herb Brooks said about the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey team beating the Soviet Union Olympic hockey team:
The only way we can compete with the Eastern Bloc teams is if we're willing to change. Change the way we train, the way we prepare, even change our schedule. I think we need to make it longer. You know, tougher. Much more competitive.
We also need to change the way we play the game. My plan is to adopt a new style. A hybrid of the Soviet school and the Canadian school. A combination that requires the highest level of conditioning, speed, creativity, and most of all, team chemistry.Web marketing is a constantly changing field with various disciplines. Therefore, it makes sense that people who can learn faster and retain more have a competitive advantage. Research shows that people who know memory techniques and accelerated learning techniques learn substantially faster and retain significantly more (Please read: Learning faster and retaining more).
For example, even people who learn basic memory techniques and practice a short while with them, remember a lot more.
According to the book Your Memory. How It works & How To Improve It by Kenneth Higbee , PH.D.:
Several research studies up to the mid-1970s found that the Link and Story systems can be effective in learning and remembering word lists. People using the Link system typically remembered 2 to 3 times as many words from a 20-word list as did people who were not taught the system. Similarly, people using the Story system to learn a dozen or more lists of 10 words remembered 2 to 7 times as many words as did people not using the system. The research also found that the Story system could be used effectively on abstract words (although not quite as effectively as on concrete words), and even that sentences strung together as stories were remembered better than when they were presented as unrelated sentences.
In my memory course I give my students several memory tests during the first couple of class periods, and then give them the same tests later in the course. One of the tests is the same one I described for my lecture audiences—to remember a list of 20 words after hearing them once at a rate of one word every 10 seconds. The following summarizes the performance of about 100 students in several recent classes: Before learning the Link and Story systems, 18 percent of the students recalled all 20 words. (Most of the 18 percent used the Link or Story system or a similar mnemonic that they had learned before the class.) Several weeks later, using the systems, the percentage of students recalling all 20 words increased threefold to 54 percent. At the other end of the performance scale, the percentage of students recalling fewer than 14 words was 40 percent before learning the systems and 15 percent after learning the systems.
These results from my memory classes are more striking than those found in some research studies because of several procedural differences. For example, I give my students about 10 seconds per word; this presentation rate is slower than that used in most research studies. Also, the same people learn both lists of words (one list before learning the systems and one using the systems), rather than comparing some people who used the system with others who did not use it, as is done in most research studies. (pages 136 and 138, 1996 edition)The basketball player Jerry Lucas who learned memory techniques and practiced with them studied 25% of the time that his fellow students studied and still graduated with honors and was a member of the Phi Betta Kappa the honors society which requires juniors to have a GPA of 3.85. (source: forward to the book The Memory Book: The Classic Guide to Improving Your Memory at Work, at School, and at Play by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucus).
Below is some fascinating information about how memory training actually changes the structure of the brain quoted from the science journal Neuron (it involves the common memory improvement technique called mnemonics):
Memory skills strongly differ across the general population; however, little is known about the brain characteristics supporting superior memory performance. Here we assess functional brain network organization of 23 of the world’s most successful memory athletes and matched controls with fMRI during both task-free resting state baseline and active memory encoding. We demonstrate that, in a group of naive controls, functional connectivity changes induced by 6 weeks of mnemonic training were correlated with the network organization that distinguishes athletes from controls (source: Mnemonic Training Reshapes Brain Networks to Support Superior Memoryscience journal Neuron, 2017)When being interviewed for the 1980 Olympic coach position, one of the men on the board of the Olympic Hockey Team board said about the Soviet team: "We put our best on the ice with them last year. Professional all-stars. They still beat us".
In response, Coach Herb Brooks said about the importance of teamwork:
Was it because you weren't good enough? All-star teams fail because they rely solely on the individual's talent. The Soviets win because they take that talent and use it inside a system that's designed for the betterment of the team. My goal is to beat them at their own game.Coach Herb Brooks also said to raise one's game it helps to have the highest level of creativity as well. Please see: Creativity resources
