Technology is amazing. The advances that have been made are nothing less than marvelous. Our ability to communicate has exponentially increased (facebook, e-mail, blogs, twitter, etc...). Technology in and of itself is neutral - neither positive nor negative. It is what we do with technology that determines whether it has a positive or negative affect on us.
One such technology that I am excited about is Skype. Through this free service two people can video conference with each other through the internet. Over the last few weeks I have utilized this technology to communicate with Imran Sadiq in Pakistan. It has been a great blessing to share the word of God with Imran and to pray with him all while being able to see him in real time!
Fellowship Church, we are taking our missions to another level through technology. On June 10, I will preach a live message to Imran’s church. I will be in my office here in Florida, they will be in their church building in Pakistan. The message that I will preach will be in celebration of their church’s 1 year anniversary.
At a time when persecution is increasing all over Pakistan, we as a church family have the opportunity to stand with our brothers and sisters in that part of the world. On Friday, June 10 at 11:30AM, I will preach a message that will prayerfully encourage and equip them to stand strong in the face of opposition. Please join me in praying for this special event. And please pray for our brothers and sisters in Pakistan, pray that the boldness of Jesus would overcome all fear!
Thank you in advance for praying!
