The Great Commission and the Internet: Making it relevant
by Donel and Jacqui King ( One of the workshops )

What does faith-sharing look like on the internet? Who can help keep the site attractive to many different users? How does it work or change information sharing in my church? Why bother creating new ways to make disciples for Jesus Christ? Where does an existing church start the process of making faith connections and getting questions answered through the internet? How can we begin creating niche ministries that support special needs, small groups, social networks and specialized ministry development beyond the walls of the local church? These are some questions that God answered when a web-based ministry was developed in one ministry context.
