The "front door" of our church, the way we met people, used to be the LITERAL front door… and people got there by being verbally invited or maybe the yellow pages. Yellow pages, what are those? Google it!
Today people find us on the internet. We meet new people at church every weekend, and just about 100% of them Googled us, watched us online or saw a friend’s post before they came to us.
Why does this information matter?
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew 28:19-20a
If we are to take part in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20a), we need to realize that our mission field can also be online! Digital disciples.
