We have discussed above some of the pioneering work in radio and television that used emerging technologies of their day. The Internet, in many ways, has transformed the access of information far beyond radio and television. Information is available in an instant. Communities of people participate “virtually,” often transcending geographic, cultural and language barriers that would have previously limited interaction.
Indeed, while the Internet, like radio and television, can represent a significant danger spiritually, it is also progressively the place where people are spending their discretionary time. Just as the Apostle Paul travelled the Roman roads of commerce to preach the gospel, so the Internet is a commercial tool that can facilitate the effective dissemination of the Truth. Indeed, Internet preaching is a huge global opportunity for Christadelphians. While the web takes the Truth into the communities we live and work in, it also goes to places around the world we could otherwise have never reached.
The two following articles summarize the preaching work being done through ThisisYourBible.com — a preaching website that is dedicated to teaching first principle truths. Since January 2006, this North-American developed website has remarkably connected with students in all part so the world. Today, it is in a partnership with other regional Bible Mission groups that provides an improved method for attracting and following up with students around the world. Indeed, many baptisms have occurred when students work with a tutor and are later connected with a Christadelphian in their area.
The second article is about the experience of one of the more experienced tutors, Sis. Joy Jennings. She will describe the work she does and the enjoyment she has experienced by doing it. We would like to encourage you to consider being a tutor for ThisisYourBible.com. It is a wonderful way to work with men and women that have a sincere desire to learn the Truth and need someone who will guide and coach them with their studies.
