Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
As I build up Prayer Garden I am always seeking to grow my skills and tools. Does anyone have any suggestions for resources or books that can help me grow it. Anything from sales, marketing, promotion ECT....thanks
what is the Prayer Garden? What does it do? Maybe start by introducing what it is, it's functions and the benefits, and what we can do as members etc. Also, is it Catholic or Christian or some denomination?
Oops forgot the link haha

Sounds promising and would love to see it grow.
I just scanned around the site quickly and noticed that it's the same format as this site? This format is great for continuous latest headlines but for what you're aiming for, you'd need a side window for permanent links/pages/folders..Maybe make a top 10 list of functions. For example, maybe start with "yellow page" , "classified ads", "prayer request" , "bible study", "vent room".. just some ballpark examples. These are places people can actively get involved in and promote more activities. I guess the permanent would open a page with many tree links.. it's a big project it seems.. but one step at a time and you'll get there.
Also, you should seek help from computer savvy Christians out there.. maybe under "Looking for Volunteers" or something.lol If I have some new ideas I'll let you know.
Wow great stuff. So the community you saw is kinda like the federal government. We have created state pages as well. I hope to turn the state pages over to trusted anons so they can then help grow them. We have a directory page where I wanna link different communities on .win.
So basically we are creating a network inside .win meant to provide a place for people to come together on while also have links for different communities such as GAW.
I know I am not describing this the best. I am honestly trying to wrap my brain fully around it myself lol
I had someone at my church prophecy over me. They said they saw me walking through. Maze. God was showing me 1 or 2 steps ahead of me as he builds up things. She has no idea about Prayer Garden. So that kinda describes where I'm at with it. Trying to ley Jesus lead me as he builds it. I do feel led to start growing in my prompting, sales and marketing skills though I know I'm not quite there yet it's never to early to learn tools and skills.
Oh btw I absolutely love your response and definitely think it's a good idea
