This will somehow tie in with my previous post of where you want to be in 5 years time…
After havng had that very confusing question asked of me, and actually sitting down and really thinking about it, I have come to the conclusion that the path I have walked in the last 10 years as far as career goes, was not for nothing. And why can’t I use the skills that I have developed over the years to further the Kingdom using that.
Now, South Africa is far behind the rest of the word as far as technology goes. Yes we have internet, and everything else, but we don’t have the bandwidth that first world countries have, and we don’t have the online community thing as a culture yet. Facebook has become big in South Africa, but the rest of online community has not really started to catch on really.
south African churches also have not yet caught on to really using the internet to further their ministries. Websites have become informational tools only, and I see a future of furthering the online community thing for the South African church, as a whole.
So, what I want to ask of you is, what kind of things would a church web space need to have to really make you sit up and look/listen. This is, at this stage, stopping short of a Church Online. I would love to hear from you on this, as the more I pray about this and sit and think about it as well, the more excited I am getting about it.
