Sharing Your Wins: How to Post in the Wins Category
Wins do not have to be elaborate. Sometimes a win is just getting back on track. Here is what I mean. This week I decided to post a long article on Facebook, something I had not done in several months. Last year I wrote a few articles on a revival in Eastern Kentucky, and one of them went about as viral as a religious post about revival can go. It had 543 shares at last count. But somewhere along the way I got frustrated with Facebook and all the negativity that lives there, so I stepped back. This week I pushed past that and posted about a local church accomplishment. It already has more than 100 shares. That is a lot of people who have been exposed to something good, and it only happened because I got back in the saddle. That is exactly what the Wins category is for. It is a place to celebrate what God is doing in and through your ministry, whether that is a long-awaited breakthrough or a small moment that reminded you why you started. Posting a win is more than good news. It encourages the whole Ministry Unlocked community, and it reminds all of us that the work we do matters. So what counts as a win? More than you might think. Maybe a student finally opened up during small group. Maybe a volunteer stepped into leadership. It could be a salvation, a baptism, a fundraising goal you hit, or a program that finally came together after weeks of planning. Wins are not measured by size. If it moved your ministry forward or touched someone's life, it belongs here. A few simple things make your win land well. Start with what happened, then share why it mattered to you. Specifics help. Instead of saying you had a great event, tell us what made it great and who it reached. If you learned something along the way, share that too, because your insight might be exactly what another leader needs to hear. Photos and short videos are always welcome when you have them. One more thing worth saying. Do not wait for something dramatic before you post. Some of the most meaningful wins are the quiet ones. When I share consistently, I build a record of faithfulness I can look back on, and I give others permission to celebrate their own everyday victories.
