Campus Crusade’s MinistryNet conference went ahead earlier this month despite historic flooding in Thailand.  Close to 200 men and women, committed to building spiritual movements for Christ, gathered in Bangkok, Thailand, to strategize about using the internet for ministry.  (More were also able to participate through streaming video.)  Their hotel and location were not affected by the devastating floods and they were even able to minister to Campus Crusade for Christ staff in Thailand (see notes).

Since the last conference two years ago, mobile phones, iPads, and social media have increasingly changed the way people communicate and interact, so new ideas and new methods were presented in seminars and discussed in groups.  These groups were challenged to meet several times during the conference to develop do-able 90-day projects.  Some of these projects are already in process. (Three friends allowed me to post their photos from the conference for a short Flickr slideshow.)

Campus Crusade’s MinistryNet conference just started, but it’s not too late for you to participate.

• health and safety (no flooding)
• God’s guidance in the discussions
• Actual 90-day plans to implement some of the ideas generated at the conference

Since the last conference two years ago, mobile phones, iPads, and social media have fundamentally changed the way people communicate and interact, so new ideas and new methods are key to evangelism and discipleship.

The focus at this conference is on discipleship.  If you’re interested in participating virtually for all or part of the time this weekend, here’s some info for you:
