Salvation is by faith through grace, and not of works lest any man should boast.

What are we doing here?

I have grown-up, for the most part, with computers.  I was first introduced to them by our Air Force back in 1983!  I have been an avid computer user ever since.  <> If your reading this you probably found the link in here from TryFast… if not you may want to go to www.tryfast.com and check out their services. <>    <> WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?<>    <>

 

What we are doing here is pursuing a new form of Christian ministry.  Since the creation of the internet, there has been a potential to reach the masses through the unlimited connectivity of the internet.  The porn industry has tapped this potential.  The Christians have not.

 

When the Lord told us to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to every living creature”  I think he meant the internet as well, or would include it.  The net is perfectly suited to for large scale ministry!  But the fundamentals can not be abandoned in the face of new technology.  The key is to find the right way to apply the fundamentals with the new technology.

 

This is why I’ve selected an internet cam-chat room as the flag-ship location for ministry, because a fundamental in ministry is that, like Jesus, we are called to work one on one with people.  We need face to face contact… we must be real to them, in order to reach them.

 

Secondly, the chat sight is connected to a static web page where quick answers can be found to the most common questions.  This is because people have come to expect quick answers, and access to information.  That page is linked to this, a Blog.

 

The Blog serves as a bulletin.. where everyone can connect and get the latest information no matter what time of day they are online.  The internet never sleeps but we do… so no one person can be there to moderate the room 24/7!  That is where the blog comes in.  I can post important updates or thoughts here, and everyone can read them and stay current on any news or information.

 

Plus the blog is your way to reach me, no matter whether I’m online or not.  Every message posted here is e-mailed to my private e-mail address.  So I wont miss it!
