Ministry on the Web

I was looking at the statistics of our churches web site yesterday and it is amazing the places that a church can be preaching and teaching God's Word. How many will get the chance to preach to anyone in places like Iran, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Imerants, Russia, Italy, Japan, and the Philippines. These were just a few of the places that had been reached with the Word of God. All of this for the cost of a camera and $17.00 a month. We talk about wisely spending the Lord's money with the most impact, I don't know of much that beats this amount of impact. Thinking about doing a small blog series of how we did this.

School of Biblical Evangelism

I have been wanting some more training in evangelism and I saw this on the web site for "The Way of the Master". Has anyone had any contact with the material to know if it is worth the money and time? Looking at the web site for the online school it seems to have some good instruction.

Two World's

Has anyone noticed that there seems to be two groups forming in the ABA and even in the California Cooperative State work? Some have called it "changing of the guard". Others have said that people are just fed up with business as usual. I have heard it mentioned in both the national and the Ca. state work that there is a split on the horizon. Is this in people's minds? Would it be a good thing or a bad thing? I ask that last question because of the comments I have heard and the answer is not the same with everyone.
I was asked to elaborate on this post. Well what it does not have to do with is doctrine. I have not heard of brothers and sisters taking different sides on Biblical beliefs. It is more about some being tired of churches that want to fight among themselves and not worry about the lost. It used to be normal for Missionary Baptist's to fight and back bight. I grew up in the California work and this was the case in the valley. Many brothers and sisters, not just here, but in other states have mentioned the kind of things I have written about.
The blog sights that brothers and sisters in our work have going seems to be a very fair example. There seems to be a definite split in the ideas of people. I have always heard a person here or there that is frustrated but just talking with preachers and members of churches, there seems to be a deep unrest.
