The World Is Changing (video)

When we moved to Mexico, Facebook had just opened its doors to everyone. Still, it wasn’t a big thing in Mexico until quite a while later.

But today, when a short term missionary comes to Mexico, they connect with new friends on Facebook and their friendships and ministry can continue even when they leave. Facebook even allows users to translate posts easily, so that today whether we post in English or Spanish people from all over the world can read what we say.

This rapid change in communication is continuing. Check out this remarkable video from Skype, as a student in Mexico City speaks with a student in Seattle – each in their own language.

Technology like this continues to change the way we think of both short term and long term missions. May we use the means God has given us to carry the Gospel around the world, and disciple the many people who are moving from everywhere in the world to everywhere in the world!
