Comments on: Digital Evangelism - how? http://brownblog.info/?p=802 fresh thinking about Christian ministry Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:11:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Wilfried Ansome http://brownblog.info/?p=802#comment-6141 Wilfried Ansome Wed, 22 Apr 2009 09:35:26 +0000 http://brownblog.info/?p=802#comment-6141 I've had the joy of a few skype talks with Paul Watson. He has been involved in church planting with a group that is very innovative, Biblical, and thoughtful about practice in church planting. He's taking this thoughtful approach over to thinking about online ministry, resulting in some articles which are some of the best for more advanced, goal-oriented thinking on online ministry. I hope someday to invite him to speak to an SL audience about his experience and vision - I felt so selfish that I was the only one enjoying the talks we had. It's important to get beyond the initial, dreamy, visionary thinking we have in thinking of the possibilities - and address the practicalities, the dangers, and what online mission is good for, and what it is not good for. This is what Paul Watson is doing. Thanks for posting this interview, Mark. I’ve had the joy of a few skype talks with Paul Watson.

I think one of the big mistakes we sometimes make is trying to replicate what we do in church online. The Internet gives a whole new way of building relationships and sharing a message. This is a great opportunity for Christians and I just hope we learn how to do it quick enough. Great post and I enjoyed hearing about someone doing online evangelism.
