eMinistry: Connecting with the Net Generation Paperback - 2001

"If the church does not begin to encompass the online world in its ministry, it risks losing even more of its eroding influence in society."

With these words Andrew Careaga challenges believers to creatively and effectively use all leading-edge technology. Only by entering this new world can believers reach the "Net Generation," a complex mix of young people who will shape the world the church of the 21st century. This cyberspace generation is desperately searching for the supernatural and a personal touch. There is no area where the presence of Christians is more imperative. With the foundational information in the book, you can develop an on-line discipleship strategy to engage and capture this frontier generation.
