The personal level is absolutely needed for effective ministry. <br /><br />But I am also thinking of event planning, logistical meetings, etc. So much is happening online. Who are we excluding? Is it inevitable to some extent? <br /><br />Not everyone has to be part of everything. I am leading a Bible read-through via Facebook and decided not to worry about the fact that some people would not be able to join in the related discussion. But I wouldn't want to make that a normal practice.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709738038769860817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940652467400931908.post-77068011949583228852011-10-16T19:05:42.515-04:002011-10-16T19:05:42.515-04:00Very thought provoking, Melinda.

We MUST have workers available to reach out on a local and more personal level. The internet is an important tool in ministry, but should not replace the interpersonal relationships of ministering face to face.
