Communication means

A very good insight on the subject from the member of IECGlobalForum:

God has made us incredibly adaptable at using any means we can to connect with other people whether that is face-to-face contact, MySpace, or even smoke signals. The ministry happens when people connect in healthy relationship and the specific mechanism that enables that connection is secondary. Each mechanism has pros and cons but none is always best, including face to face. For example, people tend to be more likely to share openly online than when they are face to face. That is valuable from a ministry perspective. Also, I can share Jesus with people all over the world via the internet, and that would not be possible face to face. Of course, face to face connections are vital, but we should use all means to share Jesus and not limit ourselves to just one. Instead of pushing for one way, I'd rather that we attempt to optimize the application of all the tools we have to connect with people.
