Dear friends in Christ,
We think it’s important to stay “connected” with you and we are committed to “connecting” you to what God is doing throughout Africa. We have not always done this well enough and are trying to do better at it. Here are a few ways that you can stay “connected” with us and our ministry:
1. Website/blog: Please check out our new website/blog at www.flueggefamily.com or www.revglennfluegge.com. We try our best to post updates on the blog each week. Some are about our ministry and work. Others are about family stuff. Our kids also try to post blogs now and again so that you can get their points of view. You can “subscribe” to our blog to know when certain updates are posted. We’ve also tried to put on this website helpful information that will tell who we are and what we do. The website’s a work in progress, so please give suggestions for how to improve it.
2. Facebook: We are now on Facebook! Blog updates posted to our website will also automatically be posted on our Facebook page: “Fluegge Family in Africa”. If you do Facebook, this is a great way to follow us. The easiest way to get to our Facebook page is to go to our website (www.flueggefamily.com) and click on the “f” (Facebook) sign on the left hand side. It will take you right there and you can become a friend.
3. Fluegge News Updates: If you are not already, please sign up for this email update that I send out a few times throughout the month. I (Glenn) am the one who writes this update. It is mostly focused on our work. It aims to give you a glimpse of what’s happening in our ministry and in the churches and seminaries with which we work. This update is also posted on our website. To sign up for this, please send me a note at glenn.fluegge@lcms.org.
4. Fluegge Family Letter: Susan writes this e-letter which focuses especially on our family. She tries to write it a few times throughout the month. If you want to follow us from a more personal, family point of view, please sign up for Susan’s e-letter by sending her a note at susanfluegge@me.com. This e-letter is also posted on our website.
5. Online Photo/Video Album: You want photos? Videos? Our entire photo album (from Togo, South Africa, and elsewhere) is now online. Check it out at: http://gallery.me.com/susanfluegge#gallery. You will find photos and videos of both our ministry and family in this “photo gallery.” Photos are at the top of the page and videos on the bottom. There is a lot of stuff in this gallery. If you need help finding a particular photo/video, just email Susan at susanfluegge@me.com.
6. YouTube: You can also access some videos of our ministry and family on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/fluegges. The collection here is not as complete as on our Online Photo Album, but there’s still some good stuff here.
7. Flickr: Take a look at our photos posted on Flickr. Susan has begun, little by little, to transfer all of our photos from our Online Photo Album to Flickr (we think it’s a bit better organized…not to mention, cheaper). The easiest way to access our Flickr account is to go to our website www.flueggefamily.com and click on the button on the left hand side.
8. Twitter: And, of course, you can also follow us on twitter. Just go to our website and click on the button on the left hand side.
If you have any questions, please email us. If you have suggestions on what we can do better, please tell us. We really do want to hear from you. Thanks.
