With technology we can do some wonderful things. Take, for instance, the social networking tool called Ning. It’s like Facebook in that you connect with new and old friends. But at www.ning.com, the emphasis is on social networking around a specific idea or interest. There are groups about everything from gardening to television shows – and also CBF.
The Fellowship has a Ning site that helps connect you with others who have similar ministry interests – like addressing poverty, starting new churches, Together for Hope (CBF’s rural poverty initiative), and nearly 30 more groups. You can discuss issues, leave comments, and use online chat to communicate with others. Plus, there’s plenty of information about how to become more involved and use your God-given gifts and talents.
