Technology: Expanding the Walls of Church

As a former technology teacher, I have found a place for technology in my work with youth. In the classroom, I found that using text messaging or Google hangouts was a way to answer a quick question or have a quick explanation for my students that cleared the air for our lesson the following day. 

I know that many churches and ministers are nervous about having that kind of connection to church members, especially youth, but there’s something about joining a conversation using the communication that they are most accustomed to that changed the dynamics of the conversation. For me, this plays a large part in my belief that we are to meet people where they are to share the gospel and love of Jesus.
