Global Connections

We are all still in the exploration stage for understanding
 the use of social media tools for connections, and discipling within our framework of "ministry".
Sometimes our stories are meant to encourage one person
and yet another sees a simple Truth, that may draw them closer to Jesus.

As we have the courage to step out and tell a piece of the layers of our faith stories,we may not realize a couple of things about how the internet blog world works.

Our familiar ways of getting "info out" in broad cast forms is now interactive and is also way beyond our control of just how it gets shared. There are both areas of caution and wonderment in how this all works.

As you read the stories here on this blog, and contemplate writing your own to submit, think about this.
The story you read and write here in English gets around the world fairly quickly. With the tool of Google Translator, a reader can press a button and the blog is rewritten onto the language chosen. Their own language--- YOUR WORDS.

You have the possibility of becoming a world missionary right here. Since we began this blog a few short weeks ago, I have kept track of the countries that have found us here on the internet and clicked through one or more blog posts.

This includes these countries:

United States, Russia, United Kingdom, Latvia, Chile, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, France, Canada, Romania, Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala, Turkey, The Netherlands, Brazil, Greece, Ukraine and Poland.

From your living room, in the Southeastern District, United States ----yes, to viewing around the world.
If you could that easily be a world missionary, what might you have to say about the story you have to share in knowing Jesus?  When we remember that our stories really aren't about us, but are meant to bring God Glory, then perhaps we can find that spot to begin. We really can be the Light in a dark world. 
Is it time for your Light to shine a bit brighter? Around the globe?
