I received an open letter the other day from Tony Whittaker over at Internet Evangelism Day. I thought it would be goood to highlight the letter and will do that in the next post - but here's the cover details...and you can see the letter by clicking on the link. The whole enterprise looks interesting...
Dear Peter
The potential of digital media for evangelism and discipleship outside
the West is growing dramatically. Mobile phones users now total well
over 3 billion, while 2 billion access the Web regularly. The bulk of
these are in the Majority World.
There are 500 million users of Facebook in nearly 100 languages. Many in
Africa and Asia can now read and update their Facebook pages without
charge, using a mobile phone. The strategic mission gathering Lausanne
2010 (October in Capetown) will include a focus on these digital
opportunities.
So we've produced an Open Letter to Mission Agencies, to highlight the
growing range of opportunities:
