SEATTLE, May 29, 2006 - Positioned to become the MySpace of the ministry community, MinistryHome today announced the launch of MinistryHome.org; a free online social networking site for missionaries, pastors, humanitarian workers and other ministry workers to help raise funds and build teams.

While other popular social networking sites are available, many ministry workers are hesitant to sign up on them due to fears of being associated with their non-ministry elements. MinistryHome.org now offers a safe and purpose-driven alternative.

"Whether you are working full-time for a major ministry organization or are a student volunteering a week to help out in the aftermath of Katrina, MinistryHome.org is a place for you to tell the world about what you're doing. In terms of accessing funding and resources for your ministry, there has never been anything like it." says Paul Payne, founder of MinistryHome.

Traditionally, ministry workers promote their ministries and build support teams on their own, often using photocopied newsletters. With many working in remote places, ministry workers can feel isolated from others serving in similar fields. Now, individuals can promote their ministries, raise funds, build teams, and network with like-minded individuals online with MinistryHome.org.

Individuals create custom personal and ministry profiles on MinistryHome.org in a matter of minutes, easily connecting their profiles to other online resources. Personal content from popular web services such as Blogger.com, Flickr.com and YouTube.com can be aggregated into MinistryHome profiles. All of this information is published immediately and is linked and searchable throughout the MinistryHome.org network. Several interactive tools encourage discovering ministries including a zoomable map pinpointing ministries worldwide.

Friends and supporters can keep up with ministry workers they are interested in by receiving automatic notifications of ministry updates, contacting their ministries and donating funds through MinistryHome.org. Being a part of a ministry-centered community such as MinistryHome.org gives ministry workers instant access to ministry-minded viewers.
