In our church community group last week we called our friends on mission in Sudan, Africa from the living room of the home where we were meeting. We talked to our missionaries as a small group, while the mother of one of the missionaries held her smart phone up so all could hear.
One hundred years ago, saying yes to the mission field might of meant saying goodbye forever to your loved ones. Now because of technology we can call a small African village to get updates, pray and celebrate together. The implications of such connectivity and communication for our faith, our families and the work of the church is immeasurable. My faith is strengthened and encouraged by such moments and technology is the conduit for those connections.
