Presbyterians For Renewal just posted a nice interview of Rob Weingartner and Bill Young.  Rob and Bill are the Executive Directors of The Outreach Foundation and PFF.  The question and answer session addresses the current state of things in the denomination, how to continue supporting a missionary, the joint efforts of their ...

I'm not sure if this is really what I want to title this, but I want to get an idea out and see if I can get some feedback. A response to a post I made a couple months ago got me thinking about what resources the web can provide in Christ's mission.  It seems to me that one of the best resources it can offer would be educational ...

It's been a week and a half since I initiated trying to add the PCUSA's missionary letters to the website.  I'm giving up for the time being.  It was a task that should have taken 5 minutes, but has involved multiple emails and haven't received a response for a week.  The feed didn't appear to be updated more ...

I've subscribed to the PCUSA New RSS feed again (I now have 3 PCUSA RSS subscriptions in my reader from the last 3-6 months).  I'm really excited about the site integrating RSS, especially this feed of missionary letters, but I can't figure out how to subscribe to it or integrate it into the site.  They do a great job ...

Scott Sunquist described a new "blended model" of mission.  This as a combination of traditional organizations such as denominations, conferences and organizations supporting and working with grassroots efforts empowered by new communication technologies such as the web. Chris Sells offers some supporting evidence that the ...

Robert Scoble, one of the best known technology bloggers I regularly read, recently wrote about the blog trust network.  He does a great job explaining how it works.  It's not too different from any other type of networking.   In a few words, people just use their blogs to tell the world about other blogs or websites ...

This is one of the more frequent questions I've been asked recently.  It really comes down to a question of risk analysis.  I'm a proponent of trying to use the web as much as possible as a tool for the Great Commision, but realize security can be a real concern.  I'm not an expert on the security needs of mission ...

Here are some thoughts I've had on forums, blogs and how they can be used to assist mission, missionaries and NWMC in Christ's service. A forum is an online discussion group where people can exchange thoughts and ideas about common interests.  Messages are posted to a forum on a topic and become a part of the website. They ...

My name is Andrew Dawson and it's been a while since I've been too involved in NWMC.  Work has prevented me from attending the full week for five years, but I got there this year with my wife, Jill.  As always, it didn't disappoint. The most influential part of my week was an afternoon meeting where Dr. Scott Sunquist ...
