I sincerely appreciate the article and the fact that technology has made the world more virtual and yes with stringent budgets its a blessing to meet online and make deliberations. The tools mentioned are indeed a disruption!! But even as we celebrate these new tools of doing mission and being the body of Christ, it should be noted that globalization and technological advancements creates ‘losers’ and ‘winners’. My take is that organizations and communities that have access to good internet connectivity can rejoice and make use of the new tools. But how about the majority of the 2/3 worlds who struggle with internet connectivity? How do we create equal tables in the era of technological innovations and advancements?
