--ADVENT PLANET
For the last two years, a team of young people has been working passionately
on a self-given project. As young Adventists, they found that they did
no have anywhere to congregate in mass to talk and address issues that are
important to them. They know that many Adventists use hi5, but found
that users there are often bombarded with very non-spiritual material.
This situation frustrated the group so much that they set out to create a
website exclusively and strictly for Adventists of all ages. By word
of mouth alone, the site has already had 5,000 hits, but they are still
testing a lot of the site's functionality. Adventplanet offers several
features that rival such social networking sites as MySpace and hi5.

--ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
Adventist Christian Fellowship ministers to scores of Adventist youth
who attend public educational institutions. ACF encourages churches
located near a public university or college to consider starting an ACF
chapter to reach out to Adventist students who might be attenting that
university or college. Through an ACF group, students can find support
and resources to thrive spiritually on public university and college
campuses.

--SOCIAL NETWORKING AND EVANGELISM
Eric Robinson has written a Facebook Application called Life Questions
which allows you to incorporate a block of evangelistic content within your
Facebook profile. You can currently link to a range of pages within the
EveryStudent.com site, according to your preferece: www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=6611135350
He writes, "I was going through my stats today and noticed that
since I launched seven weeks ago there have been users of the application
from 39 different countries representing the entire globe. The number of
users is still only around 350, but I'm hoping to see that grow in the
tutorials:

It would be exciting to see a range of Facebook applications available,
appropriate for different affinity groups and languages.
