Tim Schmoyer a couple of weeks ago lauched the idea of an “online missions trip”, taking faith to the world through Facebook. I think it’s got some mileage, but I wouldn’t want to see it replace the traditional mission trip opportunities available to young people. Here’s some of the key info:
The Online Missions Trip is a two-week outreach campaign for teenagers and youth leaders to capitalize on the tremendous social opportunities that exist on the Internet and use it to share Christ with unsaved friends all over the world!
