July 2021 Monthly Status Update For Social Media Ministries Progress Report

Welcome to Social Media Ministries. My name is Spencer Coffman. This is our July 2021 monthly update. So, if you haven’t seen the June update, check it out in a card up here. That was our progress as of the month of June, and then some goals for July.

This is the July update: everything we have done in the month of July. It has been a big month. We have quite a few announcements, some progress, and some needs going forward. So, what happened in the month of July? Some big things!

We got an iPhone 12 Pro Max, yes! It is financed though, so we didn’t pay for it. I mean, we are paying for it, just like last month when we paid to start the process of becoming a non-profit. That was a big $6,000 chunk: credit card. iPhone 12 Pro Max $1,300: credit card. No big deal. It is financed though: 0% interest on Pro Max.

The other one, $6,000, is gonna have to have credit card interest, so we are hoping for some contributions coming soon to help pay that off. Anyway, iPhone 12 Pro Max was a huge, huge update for us this month. Thank you, Lord, for making that possible! That is wonderful.

Next, we wrote some bylaws because we have, now, an EIN Number and a Certificate of Organization from the state and government—federal/state government, both. We have the Certificate of Organization and the EIN Number, so we are officially incorporated as Social Media Ministries.

We are still waiting on the IRS designation for a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, which should come hopefully in August or September. So that is exciting. The next big thing. So, we have the iPhone 12 Pro Max, we got the EIN Number, we have the Certificate of Organization.

We also have, like I said, written the bylaws for the company. So that is awesome. We have bylaws written. We have selected a board of directors. Now, the board meeting is going to be coming up in August, so that will start in August which we will vote on whether or not we accept the bylaws.

So hopefully—pray for us that all of that goes well, that we will adopt those bylaws without any arguments or changes because I think they’re pretty good. Hopefully, they’re really good. We’re gonna have the board meeting. We’re gonna elect, you know, president, vice president, all the formal stuff, and also decide whether or not we want to open a bank account, which of course we do.

So, we’re gonna get the bank account opened up in August. So, we’re gonna have a board meeting in August, get a bank account, have the bylaws voted in, and then–a little tidbit–we are hoping to move to a new location in the month of August. So, pray for us there that that is possible, that it will happen because that would be awesome.

So, big things coming up in the month of August. Big things happened in July—a lot of progress of course. We’ve also put out some videos every single week. So if you haven’t seen them, check them out, share them with your friends, your family. Talk about them at home with your friends and family, engage in discussion, and then jump on and put some comments on the videos.

That would be great. Now, how can you help us? We have a couple needs. Now that we have the iPhone 12 Pro Max, I need a new microphone. I need to get a microphone that works with the iPhone 12 Pro Max and that works well because I have tried, like, four other ones, and they all sound horrible.

Right now, it’s the iPhone’s camera, that’s it. If it sounds a little echoey or muffled, that’s because it’s echoing off all in the hallway here. And that’s where I’m recording because we don’t have a good location. Hopefully, in August, all of that will change.

So I need a new microphone. I have one picked out. It’s about $150. I think it’s gonna be the best one, so hopefully gonna get that in the month of August. How can you help? You can help by sharing videos, hitting the like button, hitting the subscribe button, clicking the bell icon, doing all of that kind of stuff because that is what the mission of Social Media Ministries is.

Pray about giving financially because once we get the bank account and we get the IRS letter, all of the donations are going to be 100% tax deductible. So, that will help as well as. We’re gonna start doing some fundraising later on–hopefully by the end of the year–so that people can give before the year is over to get that tax deduction.

So, pray that all of that happens and goes well in the meantime. So, that is it. That is the update for the month of July. That’s everything that’s happened in July. A quick recap. We got an iPhone 12 Pro Max for recording; that’s awesome. We have written the bylaws, selected a board—we haven’t had the meeting to vote any of that in yet.

We also have received the Certificate of Organization and the EIN Number, so thanks God that all of that has been going so well. Really, it really is good. Things have just been moving along really well. We’ve a big month in August coming up so pray for me, pray for us, that everything would go according to plan, that our goals would be met, and that we can make it happen, to continue spreading the living Word of Christ to as many people as possible through the use of social media.

I really hope that you will consider helping us out by liking, commenting, subscribing, sharing, all of that, because that will help boost us on YouTube to try to reach more people there. And then if your heart so happens to be in the giving place for this ministry and this mission, then we are working hard to make that a possibility.

So, thank you guys so much for giving me your time, thanks for your support, and continue to pray for us to make everything possible and make it happen. All right, that is the month of July update. So, we’ll see you next month with, hopefully, a whole bunch of awesome progress reports. Thank you.

God bless.
