A New Connecting Tool

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 28 August 2007 · 749 views

Bridges of connection are essential when it comes to Alliance missions. Mission flows out of the local church to its Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Local church leaders have to work at building bridges to those they help send to distant places, and sent ones have to work at keeping connected with their sending churches. Bridge building has to be intentional in both directions.

A new tool is being effectively used in local churches to build bridges. On a screen in the front of a Sunday morning congregation is a live video feed from an Alliance worker in another country. Questions to be discussed are shared ahead of time via e-mail. The pastor or another church leader interacts live with the Alliance cross-cultural worker. They end the ten minute. real time interaction with brief, encouraging prayers for one another.

With the pressing need for regular connections to keep Alliance missions alive in our local churches, wouldn't it be great to see this tool used more and more? The essentials are software available at www.skype.com/download/features/videocalling and a computer camera (less than $50 at an electronics store) . . . and intentionality when it comes to connecting! This is a powerful tool. Let's use it well to CONNECT!
