“go forth”:new frontier of missions
I attended the GO FORTH National Missions Conference the last few days at Suntec City. I attended all the morning sessions which I found very insightful and informative. They gave me a better perspective of the landscape of modern missions. The challenge of urban missions, globalization and the need for innovation. The topics were well planned, systematic and covered good ground. I was informed as well as inspired.
I attended the workshop presented by Campus Crusade titled “Generation NeXt: Youths, Media and Missions” (click on pics) which challenged me with using Web 2.0 and other media tools to reach out to this generation of media-savvy, post modern generation of hooked up young people. I call them a new people group though I cannot use the adjective “unreached”. There are no borders and they speak all kinds of languages and hail from different cultures and nations. However, and they have one thing in common: they surf and use and cannot live without the internet. This “internet tribe”, whom I would like to call “webbies” can be reached for Jesus, and we Christians can be “missionaries” to them- stay at home missionaries, unpaid, yet passionate and committed missionaries. This is a new frontier in missions.
Who and where are they?
How can we reach them?
Who is going to reach them?
You are invited to the party!
