How do we reach the world for Jesus Christ?

The world has entered a new century, and churches are dying out. We face an epidemic in our society. Although the message of Jesus Christ is timeless, our method of deliver needs to reach people. Right now our message does not communicate to the world. In the medieval world the people were illiterate, the Church found ways to communicate the gospel to them in relevant ways. Today people do not enter churches on a regular basis. The medieval world the church was the center of the community. In the modern world our community is the computer screen in front of you. For example, from banking, to buying groceries, and from research on a project to chat rooms the Internet is the center of the community. Or look at it this way, ten years ago when we wanted to find a business or a church, we would look in the yellow pages. Today that has been replaced with Internet search engines like Goggle. Our world is changing very quickly. The church needs to change with it, or suffer extinction. This website has been designed to help pastors and church leaders find relevant information which will help them make decisions about the future of their churches. This site has a lot of writing, much more than a normal website, because it is designed to create thinking and help one find solutions.
