For centuries,franklin marshall, the systems of communications throughout the world have beenswiftly evolving.

In the 1400s, the printing press created the ability for mass publicationand circulation of literature, opening the door for the Christian gospel toreach around the world through books, tracts and the Bible itself. Duringthe late 1800s,cheap polo ralph lauren, the telegraph and telephone were invented, further spreadingthe opportunities for Christian evangelism. In the mid 20th century, radioand television further advanced that possibility. Now, in the 21st century,we can literally reach millions live through streaming video. For theChristian evangelist,christian louboutin pas cher, there is a truly awesome marriage of religion andtechnology.

Bishop E. Bernard Jordan, Founder and Chief Prelate of Zoe Ministries, is aparadigm of this shift from the pew to cyberspace. From the simple input ofinformation into a database, to carrying religion into all of the worldthrough technological advances such as live streaming, Bishop Jordan hasmoved his ministry from drawing hundreds of people to the pews of the localchurch, to drawing millions of people to witness and experience hisprophetic ministry through the wonder of computer technology.

His parishioners now have access to the prophetic ministry 24 hours a day,seven days a week, whether through teachings and messages concerning God,louboutin pas cher,spirituality and prophecy, or through the ability to purchase books,teachings and music. According to the Bishop, "Because of the blessingthat computer and internet technology represents, my parishioners are nowonly a ?lick?away from God; they are only a ?lick?away from theprophetic word." His outreach is truly interactive via special Faith Chatsessions during live services on Sundays, Tuesday evenings, and Thursdayevenings.

Whether it is Jane Danielsen of Denmark, who views the live streamingtelecasts weekly,polo ralph lauren, Lillian Holmgaard of Denmark, who gathers people togetherin her community around the computer to view the live telecasts; Carl Amehofrom South Korea who views the telecast several times throughout his day toexperience the power of prophecy or Frans Zegers of the Netherlands whofaithfully views the Power of Prophecy telecast, Bishop Jordan?parishioners are in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Africaand throughout the world.

There is a growing need for leaders in the Church to expand their ministryand to reach larger groups of people all around the world. The world iswaiting eagerly to hear the spiritual truths that have been burning in thehearts and minds of many pastors, preachers, evangelists and prophets. People are in need of an answer,louboutin, yet the fact is many do not want tophysically go to church. Yet these people are hungry for the word of God.Therefore, spiritual leaders of all faiths must now open their minds to theuse of the Internet, live streaming and other advanced forms of technologyto get their message to the world.

If Jesus,franklin et marshall, Buddha or Mohammed were to bring their message in this day, theywould use the most advanced means of technology available to communicatetheir message to as many people as they could reach.

There is a growing concern in urban America about the accessibility of thispowerful and relatively inexpensive technology. Only 25% ofAfrican-Americans appear to be functional in the information age. Thisalarming figure can be attributed mainly to the fact that there are moreblack males in prison than in college. Many are blue collar workers, whosejobs limit their access in the arena of technology. Perhaps religion couldpossibly bring more exposure to the importance of computers and advancedtechnology to a community that has been frozen out of the information age. If they know that their favorite preacher is available on the Internet vialive streaming, and they have the ability to interact with him/her from thecomfort of their home, what a milestone that could be! With the ability todownload sermon messages at no charge, make online donations, and personallyinteract with the preacher by way of the Internet.

In the last five years, Zoe Ministries has lost 80 percent of its localcongregation (pew members), but has doubled its revenue through the faithfulpartners worldwide who access the ministry through the most powerful meansof technology available, the Internet. Religion and technology must makesense. Both areas must merge if we are going to reach the world with thegospel. To those who espouse this philosophy, the 21st century will becomean age where technology is integrated into religion by allowing people tohave their religious experience by way of the Internet. A "soul" used to bedefined as the person we could see,franklin and marshall, but now we are discovering that a "soul"is the person whom we cannot see.
